Radio Free Skaro #91: Slack Orchid
The dark times begin as we enter a solid half year with no new Who, but the august crew at Radio Free Skaro have ably responded to this gulf in quality televisual spectacle with a new series of Classic series commentaries, beginning (sort of)… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #91: Slack Orchid”
Radio Free Skaro #90 – Journey’s Meh
After last week’s mind-melting funfest, things could only go downhill…and they did! The Three Who Rule were unsparing in their criticism of a finale episode that had its moments but seriously underwhelmed. Still, that didn’t stop Warren, Steven and Chris from staying mostly on… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #90 – Journey’s Meh”
Radio Free Skaro #89 – The Stolen Mirth
“The Stolen Earth,” the penultimate episode of Series 4, was a barnburning spectacular of fanwankian proportions, and the RFS crew did their level best to keep their geeky selves in check before effusively praising (or in the case of Chris, begrudgingly praising) a jam-packed… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #89 – The Stolen Mirth”
Radio Free Skaro #88 – Third (Guy) Left
Chris absconded to Las Vegas this week for liquor, gambling, and other licentious pursuits, so it was left to the other two pillars of RFS to hold the fort, which they barely managed. The subject at hand? “Turn Left,’ which served as not only… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #88 – Third (Guy) Left”
Radio Free Skaro #87 – Midnight Express
For once, the Three Who Rule were in total agreement that “Midnight,” the psychological thriller/Donna-lite episode of this season’s Doctor Who, was a fine bit of viewing. That left us with little else to do besides mock Who overseer Phil Collinson and engage in… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #87 – Midnight Express”
Radio Free Skaro #86 – Forest of the Dud?
Dissent in the ranks this week, as the Third Guy forsakes a life of marital bliss with Who scribe Stephen Moffat and rips “Forest of the Dead” a new one. Steven and Warren, on the other hand, were charmed and entertained by the concluding… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #86 – Forest of the Dud?”
Radio Free Skaro #85 – Triumph of the Library
Silence in the Library marks not only the return of Doctor Who to TV screens after a week’s absence but also easily the best episode of the season thus far. The Three who Rule waxed lyrical on the many excellent aspects of this Moffat-penned… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #85 – Triumph of the Library”
Radio Free Skaro #84 – The Brain of Moffatius
With the villainy of Eurovision erasing Doctor Who from England’s screens for the week, all we were left with was a corking trailer for the second half of Season Four and the wonderful news that Steven Moffat, ace writer and life partner of the… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #84 – The Brain of Moffatius”
Radio Free Skaro #83 – The Unicorn and the Meh
Another week of lackluster Who, this time set in 1920’s England, starring Agatha Christie…and resulting in a bit of inconsequential fluff that added up to an at best average viewing experience. The RFS crew, always ready to make lemonade out of crap, soldiered bravely… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #83 – The Unicorn and the Meh”

Radio Free Skaro #92 – Mr. Sin’s Lament the First

The three jaunty fellows were pleased as punch to commentate on one of the high points of Tom Baker’s career, “The Talons of Weng Chiang,” a fantastic set of episodes by the late, great Robert Holmes (though unfortunately marred by the casual racism of… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #92 – Mr. Sin’s Lament the First”
