Doctor Who Series 7 Roundtable: “The Angels Take Manhattan”
Every week, my buddies and I will discuss the new episode of Doctor Who. We call this the Doctor Who roundtable. Creative, huh? Cory: It’s been a few days since the Doctor Who fall finale, “The Angels Take Manhattan.” And I don’t know about you three, but I’m still pretty sad. While we were ready for Amy and Rory to […]

Doctor Who Series 7 Roundtable: “The Power of Three”
Every week, my buddies and I will discuss the new episode of Doctor Who. We call this the Doctor Who roundtable. Creative, huh? Cory: Last week – and some might say, throughout all these roundtable discussions – we’ve been critical of Doctor Who‘s work in series seven.

Every week, my buddies and I will discuss the new episode of Doctor Who. We call this the Doctor Who roundtable. Creative, huh? Cory: Well, there we go. For the last two weeks, we’ve been discussing how this season of Doctor Who and its title character have felt “off” in some way. The show has been willing to turn […]

Every week, my buddies and I will discuss the new episode of Doctor Who. We call this the Doctor Who roundtable. Creative, huh? Cory: Another week, another standalone adventure for Doctor Who.

Doctor Who Series 7 Roundtable: “Asylum of the Daleks”
Throughout this series/season (whatever your preferred designation is) of Doctor Who, three buddies (Myc Wiatrowski, Tony Nagel and Travis Limbert) and I will chat about each new episode. These conversations are light and fun, but do feature a few Who super-fans, so don’t expect criticism-devoid entries either. Here’s the first one on last week’s “Asylum of the Daleks.” Cory: […]

TV Surveillance Podcast Episode 11 — Steven Moffat, You Ignorant Slut
In this episode of the podcast, I’m joined by fellow BGSU Pop Culture MA student Myc Wiatrowski for a much delayed, but still very worthy discussion of all things Doctor Who, including the convoluted sixth season, the finale and why I prefer standalone episodes to whatever the hell Steven Moffat is trying to pull off […]

Investigating Community’s alternate timeline possibilites
Last night’s episode of Community, “Remedial Chaos Theory” was an all-timer. The reviews for the complex, complicated alternate timeline-centric episode are all super positive (including my own) and most of those folks who were worried about the series’ quality have reaffirmed their commitment. The episode was awesome, I’m glad that the fans are calming down […]

TV Surveillance’s Best of 2010: The Best (and Worst) of the Rest
