Editor’s Note
I don’t think there’s ever been a time where we’re
not all dashing about making sure that we have everything ready for the launch
of another Issue. We’re always writing
something, be it fictional or factual and every episode holds more than just a
breakdown. Quite often there might be a passage from a book, a poem, a phrase,
something that requires a little bit of research. Take this month for example, not only do we
have an episode about the wonderful Toshiko Sato, who in her words is ‘shagging
a woman in an alien’ but also we have the poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and
the research of the Greek archer Philoctetes, both interesting in their own
way.
This month has been fantastic. Who can forget
November 23rd a night to remember for all Whovians and newcomers to
the Whoniverse. What a spectacular build
up, and many of us, including myself are still coming down from it. It was like Christmas come early, with so
many treats it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed by it all. There was absolutely no part of the
celebration, the lead up to it with ‘An Adventure in Space and Time’ by Mark
Gatiss, the minisode ‘Night of the Doctor’ or the Anniversary Special ‘Day of
the Doctor’ that I could fault, we had the homage paid to Torchwood, we saw all
the Doctors including Peter Capaldi’s version in the war room of the Time Lords
and saw the best use of CGI and Special FX in ever such a long time.
We were also treated to a special 30 minute docu
spoof called The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot and were treated to something brilliant
and from the pen of Peter Davison. What
I also liked about this, was that we discovered in what capacity John Barrowman
was appearing in the 50th Celebrations. He always said he was doing something and I’m
so glad there were no spoilers and he maintained a tight lip.
Absolutely fantastic!
We have another new Who writer onboard, which means we now have
three writers from The Cult Den writing for us, and I call that an
honour. These three guys are absolutely fantastic as is their website,
please give them a follow on Twitter and Facebook.
Jeffrey covers our reviews of Who episodes, from the Specials, the
Minisodes and the Episodes of the new series in 2014. Check out his
reviews on The Mothership Page.
