Get ready for a very meta experience. Doctor Who: The Ruby’s Curse by Alex Kingston is a book written by River Song, a character in Doctor Who played by the author of this very book, about Melody Malone. In the book, Melody and River influence each other to the point that River isn’t sure where Melody stops, and she begins, or
Read MoreThe Doctor might be an era-hopping, space-traversing Time Lord, but he is still quintessentially British and that means that he loves his tea and biscuits (that’s cookies for you Americans). And his favorite biscuit for tea time is a nice jammie dodger. What is a jammie dodger you say? It’s a shortbread sandwich cookie, I mean biscuit, that is layered with
Read MoreAs the year is coming to a close, so is the 60th anniversary celebration for Doctor Who. The wait for the return of this long-running sci-fi series felt like forever, but the new David Tennant-led specials have been worth it.

Read MoreAre you tired of all the Doctor Who news and articles we’ve been rolling out this past year? No? Good. I didn’t think so, after all, it’s the show’s 60th anniversary and we have to celebrate in style.

Read MoreWhat’s Doctor Who without the Daleks? As the first aliens the Doctor ever faced in the show, the Daleks have been here since the very beginning. And, as loathsome and evil as they may be, there’s no other Doctor Who monster quite as iconic, persistent, or strangely beloved. Each Doctor has faced off with the scourges of Skaro on screen at

Read MoreDoctor Who anniversary specials of the past have always been a big event with plenty of fanservice.

Read MoreIt’s no secret that I’m a big-time Thirteenth Doctor defender. While her era may not be perfect, I believe the fandom didn’t give this period the flowers it deserved.
