Opinions on Doctor Who: The Day Of The Doctor

Posted by Ewan Cassidy

(Bear in mind, this is opinions, you may not like it, but I stand by it!)

Well world, the episode has finally aired. The Day Of The Doctor was aired at the same time in 74 countries around the world! But what are the opinions of the Whovians? Here's my opinions on the episode the world has been waiting for.

First of all, I'm gonna start with the flaws. I'm not gonna lie, I was expecting just a little more with the episode characters. Billie Piper, who used to play Rose Tyler, came back instead as the machine the Doctor used to blow up Gallifrey.

Also, I'd like to point out that only three Doctors played a massive role in the episode (Matt Smith, David Tennent and John Hurt), with Clara and Rose beside them (but only John can see Rose).

Near the end, the three Doctors fly their TARDIS's into Gallifrey (won't spoil it for those who havint seen it yet) but it isn't just the three. All TWELVE (yes, twelve, including Mr Capaldi) fly their TARDISes into Gallifrey and save the day. 

Also, major flaw number two, aliens in the episode. The Daleks did make an apperence, just ... not as big as you think. 
Right at the start, you see the Daleks on Gallifrey, destroying the planet, and that's pretty much all they do. The most seen alien was the Zygons, shapeshifting aliens who take over the present day and Elizabeth I's time. Why should they play a bigger role the Daleks? The Daleks are the most feared beings in the universe!

Flaws aside, there were so many references in the episode, the first obvious one being the opening sequence, where they played the William Hartnell opening sequence. Straight after being a sign saying 76 Totters Lane, the place where Susan and the Doctor lived while Susan attended school. Cybermen heads were to be seen in the UNIT base in the Tower of London and so much more (I may need to watch again to see any more).

So in conclusion, would I say this is worth watching? My answer, yes, every Whovian must see this episode. This episode has its flaws, but this is the episode where it's starts to make sense of the doctors past, it will leave you surprised, but you will learn to love the show more, and the doctor himself.

On behalf of TARDIS Magazine, I would like to say, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOCTOR WHO! And here's to another 50 years.

And now, Whovians, lets raise out glasses of wine, dine on fish fingers and custard, and throw our fezzes (or Who hat?) in the air!

Allonz-Y!

How to Dress Like Clara Oswald

Hello! So, I know a while back I had to leave, but I am back, and feeling more fashionable than ever!

This is a set about our dear Clara Oswin Oswald, the newest companion. Well, in the episode Asylum of the Daleks- episode one, series seven-she was wearing a simply fantastic red dress.

These are some of the ones I found on Polyvore:

David Tennant's .... Ponytail?

I know that this again has nothing to do with art, but I just have to post this! :P

In honor of the fact that David Tennant currently has a ponytail, I decided to have a little fun and make a clip-on ponytail for my friend's 10th Doctor doll:

 Like it? :)

The pony-tail by itself.  :P

Lost Episodes?!

Posted by Ewan Cassidy

That's right!  Last week, nine missing Doctor Who episodes were found in Nigeria. The episodes apparently contain Patrick Troughton adventures. No word yet on whether these episodes will be aired on TV, but my guess is they will probably show them.

Who knows?  Maybe these episode will explain complicated Doctor Who storylines... Will they explain how the Chameleon Circuit got broke in the first place?

Emily's Lists: Four Reactions To Peter Capaldi Being The Next Doctor

Posted by Emily Sizemore

So by now, we all know the next doctor is Peter Capaldi. Even if you didn't watch the live reveal, the
Internet practically exploded and if you ask someone to name all the actors that have played the Doctor Peter Capaldi is now on the list. Everyone reacted differently to the news though. And so I bring you....

Four Reactions To Peter Capaldi Being The Next Doctor

1. The Classic Whovian
A classic whovian is essentially a whovian who has been watching Doctor Who since, well forever. Most of these whovians rejoiced over the fact that the Doctor wasn't changing genders and that he had an air of Jon Pertwee about him. Anything Jon Pertwee is good. Anything.

2. The New Whovian
The new whovian has only been watching since the show was rebooted in 2005. Reactions were more cautious, since Peter Capaldi is older than all the Doctors in the restarted show. But they all decided he would be a good change of pace and would weed out those in our next category.

3. The Annoying Fangirl
You know them. The teenage girls only watching because of David Tennant, pay no attention to the storyline, and think Matt Smith is the third Doctor. These girls pretty much freaked out that Peter Capaldi isn't David Tennant, packed their bags, and left the fandom.

4. The Non-Whovian
The title is pretty much self-explanatory. Someone who doesn't watch Doctor Who. They pretty much sat there and wondered why the Internet crashed and burned and who the heck was Peter Capaldi. Poor lost souls...
So there y'all go. If you had any other reactions, or a funny reaction story, tell me in the comments.

Story Submission: A Dream within a Dream

My friend Lily and I co-wrote this fanfiction early on in our Whovianism.  We finally got the finished draft out this afternoon, and she suggested that we feature it here.  And so we are!
