The Overabundance of the Doctor

We just flat out refuse to give up on the 50th anniversary. This week, we take a look at both the emotionally driven docu-drama “An Adventure in Space and Time”, and the hilarious ‘insider’ mock-umentary by Peter Davison, “The Five(ish) Doctors”. Yes, we’re slightly bipolar this week…you’ll just have to deal with it.   The first production allows us to delve deeper into the first Doctor’s history than we ever have, question how much is historically accurate, and furthermore, determine […]

The Day of the Doctor

For months we have waited and the day has finally arrived. We review the mind blowing experience of watching the 50th anniversary special, both at home and in the theater. SteeMo lived up to his promise of changing things forever and we begin to break down everything that could mean for the future. We also share some listener voicemails, and just genereally geek out over the spectacle that is The Day of the Doctor. Link Dump: 2.4m viewers for simulcast on […]

The Name of the Doctor Commentary

The Doctor has a secret that he will take to his grave. The secret is out, and we are joined by Jeannie from “Tyrion’s Landing” as we complete our commentary rewatch of Series 7B, and discuss “The Name of the Doctor”. (Oh, and were you aware that they were doing this “Anniversary” thing tomorrow? It might be…you know…interesting.) Link Dump: The newest webisode: The Last Day Gorgeous visualization of the Doctor’s travels Day of the Doctor DVD extras Every DW […]

Nightmare in Silver Commentary

We delve into Neil Gaiman’s sophomore attempt at penning for the Doctor and, well, don’t really feel like it’s an upgrade. In this episode, we’re talking “Nightmare in Silver”, and explore the newest cyberman upgrade (complete with one-time-only super speed), a stellar cast, and characters that we want to know more about and are left wanting. Oh yeah…and the obnoxious girl, too. (God, we hate that kid.) Note, too, that there’s a special “addendum” at the end of this episode […]

The Crimson Horror Commentary

Have you ever dipped your finger in melted wax and admired the coating it gives you? Have you ever tried it with your whole body, while under the influence of a prehistoric red slug with giant black gumdrop eyes? This week we are joined once again by listener and fellow Whovian Wil, while we watch “The Crimson Horror” and relive the — well, horror — of Mark Gatiss’ second offering to Series 7B. Listen while Keir tries to draw some good […]

Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS Commentary

We travel deep into the heart of the TARDIS in this week’s commentary. We are joined by Julie as we watch “more of the TARDIS than we’ve ever sen.” So, about 25 minutes of corridors with some CGI backdrops occasionally creeping in.   Link Dump: Cinema screenings of Day of the Doctor in the US BBC 2 doing The Science of Doctor Who November 14 An Adventure in Space and Time interviews released Adventure in Time in Space posters released […]

Hide Commentary

We reach the halfway point in our commentary series, as we are joined by friend and listener Wil to bring you “Hide”. We discuss the spectacular new teaser for the 50th Anniversary, and all the juicy bits contained within. We also talk about Doctors writing their own fanfic. Link Dump: Welcome back from under that rock you were living under! The 50th Trailer is out. Geeks with free time analyze the trailer’s contents Smith and Tennant devised a way to […]

Cold War Commentary

This week we travel back to 1983 and come face to helmet with one of the Doctor’s most familiar classic villains, the Ice Wariors. We enjoy and poke fun at the show, but quickly shut up any time David Warner is on the screen. Link Dump: News 9 Troughton episodes discovered (from across two stories) Doctor Who Magazine gets its own website The Paternoster Gang returns in series 8! 6 New Day of the Doctor Photos SteeMo talks about Capaldi’s […]

Rings of Akhaten Commentary

We begin our commentary series (again) with Rings of Akhaten with special guest host Shooter, brought in specifically to defend his favorite episode while we all complain and belly ache, right up until Matt Smith starts his speech. Link Dump: Big Finish announces 3 new series of 8th Doctor series Dark Eyes Matt Smith is really just a psycho…from America. Who sings. BBC CONFIRMS MISSING EPISODES FOUND!!! Will the cybermen be the ones to kill 11? BBC America spilling the […]

Children of Earth: Day Five

It has been a long journey, and at times we all felt like giving up, but we are finally on day five of Torchwood: Children of Earth. Unfortunately, it was one of the hardest hits we’ve taken yet. We discuss the horror of the process laid out by the government, the insidious nature of the 456, and Jack’s “finest” hour. Link Dump: David Tennant interview in GQ A brilliant fan-made new intro turns everyone’s head The Ninth Doctor’s anniversary e-book […]
