'Doctor Who' recap: 'Dark Water'
"You know who I am..."
Read Article >Kwame: Looks like I get to start this week. I'm excited! In any case, this episode started off feeling fairly weak but wound up getting much stronger albeit much weirder by the end of the hour. This is Who going off the deep end with regard to its exploring darker themes by pretty much taking us straight to Hell. (Or so it seems.)

Last night on 'Doctor Who:' journey to the center of a Dalek
For this season of The Doctor, Ross and Kwame Opam will be sounding off on each episode in a series of emails we'll be publishing on the site. Warning: spoilers ahead.
Read Article >After a season premiere all about Peter Capaldi finding himself as the new Doctor, "Into the Dalek" is his first true post-regeneration adventure. Or rather, it's more of a parable: an outrageously weird story that serves to highlight a darker truth of the Doctor's own soul. "The Doctor goes literally into his worst enemy to try and understand good and evil... and comes out learning about the good and evil in himself." It's a great pitch for an episode that mostly pulls it off. Mostly.

The 4 most important moments from the 'Doctor Who' premiere
"Clara, be my pal. Tell me, am I a good man?"
Read Article >It's the line BBC has been using to tease the new Doctor Who, which premiered over the weekend with new lead Peter Capaldi. It's a sentiment echoed somewhat in the first episode — and presumably will be a larger theme over the course of the season. Peter Capaldi, taking over for Matt Smith, gives a strong debut performance in an otherwise by-the-books episode. But with every new actor, we get a new interpretation of the Doctor — a new personality with a new outlook on his past, present, and future.
