by Luv Mehta  And here we finally are, with the last episode of Tennant’s tenure, as well as of Russell T. Davies as showrunner. If you haven’t read recaps for the previous seasons, you can do so here (for the first series), here (for the second) and here (for the third). So, how does this season compare to the rest? Let's find out!

by Luv Mehta  When HBO started the TV show adaptation of Game Of Thrones, they did so with the expectation that George R. R. Martin would, in all probability, finish his books in the time it took for them to catch up. Which is hilarious, since if there's anything GRRM is infamous for (other than his food descriptions, gratuitous violence and relentless subversive tactics) it's his indifference towards deadlines. So we've had five seasons of high quality television come and go, and David Benioff and D. B. Weiss have been left on their own to make further seasons, with a few inputs from GRRM on the major plot points. So, what do we say when the first original season in Game Of Thrones turned out to be of such mixed quality? by Luv Mehta  We’ve reached the third season of the new series of Doctor Who, under the able hand of Russell T. Davies, and with Rose’s departure, we’ll be seeing a new companion as well. Let’s quickly jump into this series and see how it fares. (If you haven’t read the impressions on the first series, you can by Luv Mehta, Radhikaa Sharma, Srijon Mukherjee, Devanjali Banerjee, Amrit Paul and a Guest Writer. It's that time of year again. Game Of Thrones is returning, with more murder, more intrigue, and more magic. What sets this year apart from the rest, though, is that for the first time, the book readers are just as much in the dark as the TV series faithfuls - because from this season onward, the show-story is deviating from the book-story.  Wha.. With the first episode of the sixth season right around the corner, six of us speculate about what's to come next, with six questions. by Luv Mehta  Last time, I went through Series 1 of Doctor Who, having no idea about what it would be like, and actually did quite like it. This time, we’re going to look at Series Two, David Tennant’s first series (and the one everyone tells me is the first real good NuWho season). Let’s have a look. by Devanjali Banerjee  The show starts off with a beautiful, uninterrupted long-shot of Mark Latimer, father to an 11 year old son named Danny, hailing and greeting almost every resident of the village community on a sunny, idyllic day, on his way to work. This not only does a mammoth job of establishing the panorama of characters, but brings us to a chilling realization that this community will be blown out of their bucolic bliss because of the revelations and findings of the ensuing investigation. Because the Latimers are about to discover that their little boy has been murdered. by Luv Mehta  One fine day, my sister decided to force me to watch Doctor Who. I had the show for a long while, but the episode count had turned me off beforehand, but she was bored and decided to give an episode a try - which became five episodes, then a season, then the series itself. And, of course, she had to see whether I’d like it as well. Spoiler alert: I did. It’s quite fun looking at Doctor Who with absolutely no preconceptions or knowledge of the most iconic elements or moments, so I’m going to write a series of articles on the new 2005 series and focus on one season per article. Do I like your favourite episode, or do we end up at a completely different conclusion for the same story arc? Let’s look at each episode and find out. |
