Interplanetary Alignment
Using the classic role-playing-game grid of good-to-evil, lawful-to-chaotic, we see how Doctor Who characters past and present align themselves…or fail to be so defined.
Classic Rewatch: Castrovalva
With the unraveling of a scarf and the donning of a smart cricket jumper, the Fifth Doctor’s era begins in earnest in the opening story of Season 19.
Torchwood Rewatch: Adrift (S2E11)
Gwen learns of another disturbing aspect of dealing with the Rift, and we all take a blow from Chris Chibnall’s ability to write emotionally charged scenes.
Whovian Mixology – The Villains
No one stopped us the last time, so we’re at it again; mixing drinks to pay tribute to our favorite adversaries of the Doctor.

At long last, our enjoyment of the Fourth Doctor era in our rewatch of “classic” Doctor Who stories comes to a close with the final story of the 18th season.

We spin up some oldey-timey footage of circus sideshows and try and determine exactly who the ‘Night Travellers’ were, why they were doing whatever nefarious things they did in a century ago, and how they were captured in celluloid in the first place.

Classic Rewatch: The Keeper of Traken
With more affection for Anthony Ainley than we can reasonably ‘master’, we collectively praise a well-told and well-executed long-game villain payoff.
Torchwood Rewatch: Something Borrowed (S2E9)
Phil Ford is back in the writing credits for one of the strongest humor-horror-high-anxiety stories of the second Torchwood season, but we have a difficult time discerning which categorization best fits.
This Old TARDIS
With a virtually limitless interior space, you’d think we’d see a lot more of the extraneous TARDIS rooms on the program by now. So what might we find?
