Sherlock and the Case of the Diversity Problem (and why representation matters)

The creator of the BBC Sherlock reboot is none other than Steve Moffat, who also is currently helming another popular BBC show – Doctor Who.  One of the things that has always impressed me about Doctor Who as I began watching it was the diversity of the show.  When we first meet the reboot Doctor, […]

Sunday Reflections: The Curious Case of Doctor Who Kissing without Consent, and why it matters

More about consent from The Feminist Anthropologist She was 2 years old.  I had just strapped her into her car seat which held her in pretty tightly.  We were getting ready to pull out of her grandma’s driveway, but we weren’t going far – just to run some errands and such.  “Can Grandma have a […]

TPiB: On a Stick

December 11, 2013 by Karen Jensen, MLS

This is how some program ideas come to me: I am flipping through a new book that comes into our library and it sparks some inspiration.  It’s a win/win: patrons get cool books and I get great program ideas. I like the idea of food on a stick.  There are some glorious recipes in here: […]

Doctor Who Week: Christie’s Favorite Companion

November 23, 2013 by Karen Jensen, MLS

When people ask me who my favorite companion is for Doctor Who, I always have to qualify my answer because I liked them all differently. I liked Rose because she helped 9 learn to love again, and 10 find his heart. I liked Martha because she was brilliant, and ended up leading squadrons of UNIT […]
