"If you could decide who lives and who dies, that would make you a monster."—Mr. CooperHail and well met all! New episodes of Torchwood, new (old) episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures and now new episodes of Doctor Who: all is well with the world now! I'm extremely happy us poor blokes in North America do not have to wait months and months to continue our travels with the Doctor, so let's get to it, shall we?Some quick notes:—The blog will be organized with a straight forward recap/synopsis followed by my actually commentary, nitpicks and quotes.
