Episode 39 - Genesis of the Daleks
13 June 2011
"Genesis of the Daleks" is possibly one of the all-time best episodes of Doctor Who, or so I'm often told. But did I agree? Was this story's themes enough to satisfy my 21st-century thirst for action?

Episode 38 - A Good Man Goes to War
07 June 2011
There were huge expectations going into this supposed "mid-series finale", if such an oxymoron may even be allowed to be brought into existence. But was I pleased with "A Good Man Goes to War?"
