OK we’re a little behind on Doctor Who Season 7, but thanks to iTunes we’ve just caught up on a few episode. With episode 3 – A Town Called Mercy – we knew from the trailer that we’d see ‘The Gunslinger’ a futuristic cyborg killer. We knew it would be a Western Theme too.
All Good.
As always an awesome Doctor Who Matt Smith twist too – with the monster — not really being a monster.
the only thing we didn’t care for was the lack of screen time for the Ponds. Both Amy and Rory really got short changed..but we know that in coming episode this season..the Ponds will get more than their fair share.

Doctor Who: Season Six, Part 1
The good ppl at the BBC are already teasing us with the second half of the Season 6 and as has been the case in the last few seasons, the end will (hopefully) tie right back to the first episode…you know..
THE ONE WHERE THE DOCTOR GET SHOT BY AN ASTRONAUT AND DIES.
yeaah that one..
Before he gets around that…looks like he’s got a few more monsters to deal with first.

The BBC has releases a set of really funny and interesting out-takes from Matt Smith’s first season as Doctor Who –with the lovely Amy Pond in tow of course.
An interesting discussion on why the Tardis is a police box..and does the Doctor have to change the light on the top? And does he feel stupid about traveling in a wooden box?
Then there is an un-released scene from the Vampire of Venice episode – with Amy hitting on the Doctor — funny stuff for sure, but we can see why it got cut from the episode that aired. Then again, Amy (as always) does make a good point about the simple fact that all of the Doctor’s companions have been women…

yeaah we know, we’re not as fast as those in the UK when it comes to watching Doctor Who — and sure we’re even behind BBC America too…We’re getting out Doctor Who fix by buying episodes from Amazon now and we’re up to — Vincent and the Doctor
What a great episode that works on so many different levels. Sure it’s always great to see the Doctor visit historical figures but the twist with the blind ‘monster alien’ was neat on so many levels.
The fact that Vincent van Gough could also detect Amy’s pain (at the loss of Rory even though she didn’t know it..) was also a neat twist. We didn’t see a crack in the wall in this episode (or did we?), but hey a fine entertaining episode…
and we don’t recall seeing that device (mirror and printer) that could identify objects, though it sure seemed like a throwback to something the Doctor might have used in the 1960’s…

The end of time – which was out on Xmas day and New Years – was one fine special – and on Feb 2 it’ll be available on DVD too (amazon has a good price on the pre-order).
The end of time is the end for David Tennant – and it was one awesome special. It saw the return of the master and the return of Galifrey (home of the time lords) itself!
And oh yeah Timothy Dalton (James Bond) is an awesome Lord President of Galifrey too.
Yeaah it’s saaad to see tennant go, but the end of the end of time special is soo cheesy that it’s clear his time was up.
The DVD set also include the other specials – water of mars and the next doctor and some new footage from behind the scenes too.

We’re still a few months away from the first real TV appearance of the new Doctor Who – with the new Doctor – Matt Smith –
Smith began his first filming as the new Doctor this week – and the BBC has let loose a few images – but not much…
Check out this clip below for some great British speculation on Matt Smith and the new Doctor Who.
Torchwood Gets Torched by BBC with Only 5 new episodes for 2009 June 3, 2008

We’re not big Torchwood fans here at ShowMeSciFi.com but it is a show that can grow on you…that is if it were allowed to grow.
The braniacs that run BBC have somehow decided that for season 3 of Torchwood there will only be five episodes.
What’s the POINT?! And how do these people get jobs working with SciFi? They obviously just want to taunt fans and drive audience interest down.

While Torchwood’s actors are really solid and the plots are great..once again the low budget BBC special effects make this show a joke.
The ‘fish’ alien in the beginning of the episode was such a poor mask and totally unbelievable. And what was with all the same 1977 era Star Wars holoprojections? come on…it’s 30 yrs later get with the times.
But hey if you can look beyond the low budget special effects there is a show to watch. Jack and John – neat. Gwen taking full control also great.
The actors make this show work – always have – and hopefully they will for a long time to come too.
Torchwood Season Two starts on Jan 16 January 4, 2008

There are aliens in Cardiff?!
Apparently so. Though it took a few episodes till we got into Torchwood it has turned out to be a really neat little show. At first I thought it would be a lame Dr Who spinoff, but Torchwood is anything but. Episode after episode show well plotted and thought out shows that are matched with a fine cast.
Thankfully BBC realizes they’ve got a winner and are set to do the Second season premiere exclusively on BBC Two on 16 January 2008.On BBC America, Series 2 will premiere on January 26, 2008.
I suspect that really keen fans in the US won’t wait the extra two weeks and will find other means to get at the shows. The BBC has gone to extraodinary measures to try and withold information from Americans about Torchwood – in fact the main BBC Torchwood site restricts access and does not show any content if it detects you have an American IP address.
Thankfully YouTube knows no such boundaries..check out the trailer for yourself
**UPDATE**! Thanks to John Campbell Rees for noticing that our original YouTube link had been pulled (guess the BBC is serious about not letting stuff out)..but thanks to John here’s an even better promo from BBC America.
This is the original BBC UK one..
