It wouldn't be a Russel T. Davies "Doctor Who" series if it doesn't end in tears. Alas, this episode we seemingly close the book on the story of Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) and her adventures with the 15th Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa). "Empire of Death" has all the making of a terrible blockbuster: A huge CGI... Continue Reading →

After finally getting through Jodie Whittaker's run as the 13th Doctor last year, I was cautiously optimistic for Ncuti Gatwa's tenure as 15. David Tennant's short return as the 14th Doctor was quite good, and I loved Gatwa's first full episode as the ageless Time Lord, so it appeared that better days were ahead for... Continue Reading →

But it doesn't change the fact that their run overall was a boring slog that saw many fans --... Continue Reading →
