Classic Rewatch: Underworld
With a slow and steady float down a tunnel of diminishing quality, we reach the core of the penultimate Season 15 story, “Underworld”.
Planning the Series 11 Drinking Game
This week, we workshop the rules, rewards, and risks with developing a watch-along drinking game for any S11 episode. (This is what happens when we’re left without new content for too long.)
Torchwood Rewatch: Ghost Machine (S1E3)
The third episode of the first Torchwood season appears to be a bit of “viewer’s ret-con” for most of us, as we can’t really recall any details having seen the story in years past…though we know we did.
Classic Rewatch: The Sun Makers
We all conclude that this Season 15 satire by story editor Robert Holmes is one of the gems of the Fourth Doctor era, as humorous as it is scathing.
Family Who-ed, 2019 Edition
We return to one of our favorite past Whovian games, with the gracious responses by 100 of you to a series of questions about our favorite program. Some were trivia, some were opinion, all were worthwhile, and none were properly prepared for by our contestants, Haley and Jay.
Torchwood Rewatch: Day One (S1E2)
Chris Chibnall gives us a rather — interesting — sci-fi premise for the second outing of our Torchwood team. There’s a lot to enjoy, a lot to question, and even a bit of foreshadowing to seasons to come in this next episode installment.
Classic Rewatch: Image of the Fendahl
With all the best intentions (and the glowing skull of Eustace) we set out to fully enjoy this horror story from Series 15…but there are a few bumps along the way. Performances are enjoyable from both Baker and Jameson, and the supporting cast does a great job of punching up their roles to suit the story’s brooding horror. The script from Chris Boucher gives us a buffet-table of entertainment options to pick at. But is the meal satisfying once the dishes are cleared?
Just Put a TARDIS On It
On a quiet Whovian news week, we test our memory of dialogue, trying to remember which character uttered a particular statement from the modern episodes. From phrases that could easily be a number of Doctor’s regenerations, to companions that seem to make very similar observations, Keir puts on his ill-fitting gamekeeper’s hat, and puts Jay and Haley to the test.
SURVEY: Family Who-ed 2019!
We’ll poll 100 Whovians to get our survey results, and play the game in the next few weeks. Take your time choosing your answers, there is no “right” or “wrong” response. Be sure to SHARE this link with other Whovians, to help speed up the data collection process! https://tinyurl.com/gpr-family-whoed
Torchwood Rewatch: Everything Changes (S1E1)
Sink with us into the pavement in Cardiff Bay as we begin a full rewatch of the Torchwood spin-off series from 2006.
