A long-running Doctor Who fandom podcast aimed at open and positive discussion.
We all know the sound, the shape, the color. When we spend so much time following the wild adventures of a madman in a blue box, it’s only fitting that the box itself becomes as near and dear to our paired Gallifreyan hearts. The TARDIS is one of the most recognizable and desirable “items” in the Whoniverse. There isn’t anything about her that you can’t help but love. But is it even acceptable to categorize the TT Capsule, Type 40, […]
We’ve all got that one weird uncle that no one really understands, but you can’t help but love. The Doctor has an unabashed love for all humankind, but there are a select few that can claim a closer relationship with him. We examine the kinship the Doctor shares with these special companions and friends that have found a place in his hearts. Agree or disagree? Did we overlook a key figure from the Whoniverse? Comment below, we want to know! […]
Have you ever had the experience of having someone you admire and respect unexpectedly refer to you as a friend? That moment of elation and humility, finding that you are someone they feel close to, and can rely on? Now imagine getting that accolade — from the Doctor. This week we look at those individuals lucky enough to have the rebel Time Lord name them as friend. Sure, he’s had numerous companions and countless acquaintances, but in this segment, we’re […]
We’ve all had that one crazy teacher who was so in love with their subject, you would show up to class just to see how overboard they might go. Imagine if they could back that enthusiasm up with personal experience related to that subject. Beyond that, consider the impact if they take you with them on regular field trips, to witness for yourself why they love it so much. This week we look at all the times the Doctor has […]
Steven Moffat is an evil genius. No one can truly deny that. From the stolidly creepy Empty Child, to the genuinely terrifying Weeping Angels, to the all too forgettable Silents (get it?), he has a hotline to our childhood fears and he makes regular calls. He is also adept at bringing forth the tears, a la “Angels Take Manhattan”, or killing Rory, again and again. The man in unquestionable a brilliant writer. But how does he stack up as a […]
A theme park filled with dinosaurs, a virus that can reanimate dead tissue, the ability to stream “Honey Boo Boo” to your cell phone. There are plenty of times to ask, “Has technology gone too far?” We often have a similar dilemma in the Doctor Who fandom. We have to ask, “How can technology go this far?” The Doctor is truly brilliant, and it makes sense that his tools would be equally brilliant. But how much brilliance are we willing […]
Have you watched kids television lately? I mean, really sat down, and paid attention to the shows kids enjoy watching? The vast majority of them are horrible beyond description. So you would think that introducing them to something as awesome as Doctor Who would be a slam dunk, right? Right? So many kids can be seriously resistant to anything that’s not animated, and other programming may have some questionable (at best) content, so this time around, we we offer some […]
It has been a long, sometimes painful journey. But this week we wrap up our silver linings arc with the introduction of the Sixth Doctor in “The Twin Dilemma” and the brain draining, face sucking fun of “The Idiot’s Lantern.” Make sure to head over to Geekation2014.com and register if you’re planning on coming. We’ll be recording a live episode of GPR from Las Vegas. You won’t want to miss it. Link Dump: Titan Comics and BBC to create a […]
You knew it was coming. No look at ‘bad’ episodes would be complete without “Timelash.” The infamous 6th Doctor story has topped everyone’s bad story list, and for good reason. But this is still Doctor Who, gorramit! Even the bad episodes have hidden gems waiting to be dug out. We also take a look at the Doctor, Amy, and Rory playing a bit of pirate, and facing off against a homicidal green mermaid in an evening dress in “Curse of […]
No one loves to pull episodes of Doctor Who apart more than Whovians. We are the first to point out every flaw in plot, acting, or science. But yet, we continue to come back every week, and dive in once again, like schoolkids at the beach. This week, we decided to undertake the challenge of finding what compels us to love this program, despite the criticism from our own ranks. We’re taking the worst episodes we can identify, and finding […]
