If you want Doctor Who reviews that don't quite take themselves seriously...

here you go.

Your semiregular dose of slightly irreverent (yet always insightul) Doctor Who YouTube goodness.

Voltron. It's the logical choice.

Torchwood has always been such a fertile ground for creativity. I’m genuinely in awe that the team has kept that spark alive for 100 episodes and 10 years. It’s been one of my favourite projects with Big Finish - full of imagination, fun, grit, silliness and heart. Bravo!

If you don't think we're living in an autocratic state, here's this item:

T***p's tariffs are stifling academic freedom and hindering the exchange of ideas between universities.

Read for yourself.

Libraries Can’t Get Their Loaned Books Back Because of Trump’s Tariffs

Libraries have shared their collections internationally for decades. Trump’s tariffs are throwing that system into chaos and can ‘hinder academic progress.’

This is amazing, not just if you like Dr Who but also if you like music. The electro tune at the end blew my brains out. It was like all my Gary Numan albums mixed with my Streisand albums fed though a Synclavier & a Speak N Spell toy with dying batteries. Can't stop thinking about it.

59 Years Later, Star Trek Can’t Stop Hinting It's Actually Connected To Another Sci-Fi Canon

There's even more hints that 'Star Trek' and 'Doctor Who' are actually in the same canon. Here's why.

Ironically, my little #DoctorWho meetup (started before I came on board) has latest over 4 times longer than the confederacy.

(Seriously, @chicagowhomeetup.bsky.social was started in 2006. I took over in 2012)

that's my secret cap I'm always in mugatu mode @1001cranes.bsky.social · 24d

jokes about the confederacy are always funny, but you gotta think about it in terms of "Supernatural lasted 5x longer than the Confederacy", which is absolutely hysterical
