Doctor Who - Farewell Matt: The Angels Take Manhattan




Doctor Who: 
The Angels Take Manhattan 
By Steven Moffat

“Raggedy man, goodbye!”

Well here we are the big farewell to Rory and Amy Pond and the story filmed in New York City that was the most anticipated story of 2012.  In a mini season of five stories with one pretty good, one average and a couple that were less than stellar.  Well I had been looking forward to this story and had some high hopes that Steven Moffat would spin a gem and give Amy and Rory a proper send off. 


Just like the expression “saving the best one for last” that is exactly what has happened here during the first five stories of the split Series 7.   I just liked they whole concept of the story.  From the book to River and how Rory and Amy’s exit it just seemed to fit and work nicely.  Plus how scary was this story.  It seemed like the Weeping Angels were around every corner.

The Best and Worst of Geekdom 2012



2012 was a treasure trove for geeks as there was lots of stuff that came out this year to make all of us happy.  There was something for everyone and that was definitely true with the movies that came out.  2012 was definitely the year of the movies for us geeks.  It rivaled 1982 as one of the best all time for movies which was fitting since it was the 30th anniversary of the movies of 1982.  2012 had a lot of cool stuff happening during it and well it also had some pretty lousy stuff also.  So I have compiled my list of what I thought was the best and worst of 2012 and I’m sure a lot of these selections are on your lists.

"You are creating a fixed time. I will never be able to see you again."


Well here we are.  The big farewell to Rory and Amy Pond and the story filmed in New York City.   In a mini season of five stories with one pretty good, one average and a couple that were less than stellar.  Well I had been looking forward to this story and had some high hopes that Steven Moffat would spin a gem.  So was I disappointed like I have so far this series or did this one save face with me and truly was the gem of the five?

Melody Malone Novel Being Released By BBC Books


The book that will be taking center stage in The Angels Take Manhattan will be released October 4 as an E-Book.  The Angels Kiss: A Melody Malone Mystery will surely be a integral plot point in this Saturdays episode.  Here is the synopsis and cover of the book.


On some days, New York is one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
This was one of the other days…
Melody Malone, owner and sole employee of the Angel Detective Agency, has an unexpected caller. It’s movie star Rock Railton, and he thinks someone is out to kill him. When he mentions the ‘kiss of the Angel’, she takes the case. Angels are Melody’s business…
At the press party for Railton’s latest movie, studio owner Max Kliener invites Melody to the film set of their next blockbuster. He’s obviously spotted her potential, and Melody is flattered when Kliener asks her to become a star. But the cost of fame, she’ll soon discover, is greater than anyone could possibly imagine.
Will Melody be able to escape Kliener’s dastardly plan – before the Angels take Manhattan?
