Science Fiction Zone has Spending Time With Writer Paul J. Salamoff, Bluewater Comics’ “Doctor Who” Bio Comic Writer. How do you write a biography about a 900 year old Time Lord?

Salamoff is going to give it a shot with my old buddies at Bluewater Comics with his upcoming bio-comic on the “Doctor Who” phenomenon....

Thanks to BBC America, even the Americans know what Doctor Who is now! Just move on and read the script, okay? Okay. Thanks....

Bigger on the Inside has Episode 76. As the guys speed to the end of Peter Davison's era as The Doctor, both the violence and quality of the series begins to pick up. In "Frontios," despite his reservations, The Doctor comes to the aid of an Earth colony besieged by weaponized meteorite showers. Then in "Resurrection of the Daleks," Davros is freed by his creations because they need him to cure a deadly virus, but it all leads to a Dalek civil war. And the ensuing carnage, bloodshed, and death causes Tegan to flee from her life with The Doctor.

Recorded back in late August here's the audio diary of my fifth visit to Cardiff and South Wales generally, you'll hear me visit The Newport TARDIS one of the few Police Boxes still standing on a UK street and also track down one of the filming locations used in the Doctor Who Story "The Lodger" I also manage to eat in a certain diner on Cardiff Bay with a Doctor Who connection too.

Review's Roundup...
Shadowlocked has Doctor Who complete reviews: The Time of Angels. A common comparison with Blink and its sequel is that of the first two Alien films. Whereas Alien was a brooding, psychological masterpiece of suggestive claustrophobia, Aliens is more of an out-and-out action adventure, full of flashy heroics and battles. Which is true to a point when you reassess the two Weeping Angels stories. Angels Stone is more action-packed than its predecessor, but there's still plenty of creepy moments to send the kids behind the sofa. Which is a blessed relief this season, given that we're miles away from the ghost train...
Tea with Morbius has The Kingmaker, by Nev Fountain (Big Finish audio). There is a slightly new series feel to this story. It's Bill and Ted theme park view of history reflects how the new series approaches historical stories. To be honest, I was very irritated by the anachronistic modern dialogue used by the characters, though the setting has been more carefully researched and thought out than it would be in a new series story. In a hilarious nod to BBC Wales, Richard III, played by Stephen Beckett sounds remarkably like Christopher Ecclestone, so much so that I actually had to check the CD case to make sure it was not the man himself. Beckett uses all the vocal mannerisms of the 9th Doctor and even says 'fantastic!'...
Time and The—! has The Singing Sands."I don’t know what happened, but apparently the Walt Disney Company was interested in adapting Marco Polo into a feature film, and it’s fun to speculate about what a 1960s Disney Doctor Who might have been like: John Dall as Ian, Julie Andrews as Barbara (the sands would have really sung!), Angela Cartwright as Susan, and featuring John Mills as Dr. Who. Instead, we got Dr. Who and the Daleks, which isn’t bad necessarily, but it’s not God’s gift to film, either. Ah well...."
