Well Whovians, we’re back in a desert period without our favorite Gallifreyan hero with two hearts. We had Doctor Who back on our screens for a few short weeks, with the 60th-anniversary specials (“The Star Beast“, “Wild Blue Yonder”, and “The Giggle“) and “The Church on Ruby Road” Christmas Special, which saw Ncuti Gatwa officially taking the reins of the long-running
Read MoreBill and the Doctor have a debate to settle in The Eaters of Light by Rona Munro. What happened to the “lost” Ninth Legion of the Roman Army? Stationed in Britain in the second century A.D., the Ninth Legion suddenly disappeared without a trace. To this day, no one knows what happened to them. But of course, the Doctor knows, or
Read MoreIn the words of Bob Dylan, “the times, they are a’changin,” a sentiment that rings true in Doctor Who. The series has always adapted and embraced change, as the show’s central pillar hinges on the baton’s passing from one Doctor to another.

Aside from the few people who maintain the structures and oversee the funerals (I’m sorry, the “Posture for Perpetual Instatement”), all the “residents” of Necros are either dead or cryogenically frozen to be reanimated once cures are found. However, things aren’t
