Around the Web: The Doctor Games


When The Master makes all 14(!) faces of The Doctor fight in a battle royale, who will win?

*Warning: If you are waiting until the Christmas episode of Doctor Who to find out who the 12th Doctor is, do not watch this video. While he is not named explicitly, there is a reference to him within.*

In addition to the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who, this weekend marks the release of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the follow-up to last year's YA hit, The Hunger Games. Now, the two have been merged into an amazing homage to 50 years of Doctor Who. There are elements from The Hunger Games and Catching Fire within the parody, but it definitely has more of a focus on Doctor Who. And that's fine, it hits the cultural notes of THG while focusing on the minutia of Doctor Who.




The costuming was absolutely fantastic and I love how they incorporated elements of the Doctor's outfits to be weapons within the games. There's a special appearance by Travis Richey, who is also known for his role as Inspector Spacetime. Quite a paradox, if I do say so myself. Oh, and I loved the subtle nod to John Hurt's War Doctor.
