Doctor Who - Flesh and Stone Review


What a fantastic episode! Brilliant! Let's just get it out right now: Steven Moffat knows how to spin a yarn and he does it really beautifully with The Time of Angels and Flesh and Stone. The two-parter story will probably go down as one of Doctor Who's finest ever. I often found myself thinking about how much Flesh and Stone reminded me of Aliens in it's opening scenes. There was the same sense of urgency and panic – deftly supported by Murray Gold's incredible soundtrack - when the Doctor and the others have to escape the clutches of the advancing Weeping Angels.

Doctor Who: Upcoming Weeping Angels Two-Parter Like ''Aliens''

According to Steven Moffat, if his first Weeping Angels episode Blink was more like Ridley Scott's Alien, then The Time of Angels and Flesh and Stone can be compared to James Cameron's Aliens.

The upcoming two-parter will be much more action oriented than Blink was.

Awesome Doctor Who SFX Magazine Animated 3D Cover


SFX magazine has posted a picture of its upcoming Doctor Who Special.

Issue 194, which is coming out March 10 in the UK, will boast an incredible 3D cover that shows Matt Smith as the Doctor and Karen Gillan as Amy Pond. The Weeping Angels are also featured on the cover which has a rather spooky and atmospheric look.

I don't know when the magazine will be coming out in North America but we are usually a month or two behind.

Go here to view SFX's amazing animated cover.

Life, Doctor Who and Combom as an even bigger picture of the animated cover here.
As a bonus to Supernatural fans, Misha Collins, who plays Castiel on the show, will also be featured in the magazine's issue.

More Weeping Angels for season 5 of Doctor Who!


New Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat has confirmed that one of his most terrifying creations, the very popular Weeping Angels who appeared in the scary episode 'Blink', will return on Season 5 of Doctor Who, starring Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor!

Go on the Blogtor Who site here to listen to the interview that Steven Moffat gave to BBC Radio 3 programme Night Waves.
Moffat is no stranger to weaving dark stories for Doctor Who. During season 1 he wrote 'The Empty Child' and 'The Doctor Dances', and most recently during season 4 with 'Silence in the Libray' and 'Forest of the Dead'. He even compared his upcoming season 5 of the series as a dark Fairy Tale.
Season 5 is really shaping up to be exciting.
