Maria and her dad are leaving, but not before dealing with one last alien invasion, just for old times’ sake.
A long-running Doctor Who fandom podcast aimed at open and positive discussion.
Maria and her dad are leaving, but not before dealing with one last alien invasion, just for old times’ sake.
Caught sidelong by a single BBC press release on a Sunday morning, our fandom world flips on its axis with the announcement of our next Doctor’s casting.
It feels fitting that as we ready ourselves for the 60th anniversary special in 2023, we have the opportunity to enjoy this gem of a 20th anniversary story from 1983.
With a keystone, a sword, and an elephant in the console room, Thirteen and friends head to 19th century China to thwart a catastrophic plan from a classic foe.
We close the first season of the SJA with a story that deftly incorporates the preceding challenges, ups the ante, and even provides for a supercomputer showdown.
A familiar foe puts an unexpected tool to use in a plan to subvert the signing of the Magna Carta, and the Doctor, Tegan, and Turlough are quickly swept into the sword fight. Literally.
Left untended, and with inspiration from one of our favorite (and most playfully argumentative) convention panel “games”, we establish a single-elimination competition among those who are not ‘categorical’ companions of the Doctor.
With a trickster entity messing with a pivotal event in 1964, we see how horrible the world would be without our beloved Sarah Jane Smith.
With a hearty cry of “YARR!” and a blast of radiant crystal, we dash to the finish line of the Fifth Doctor-era’s “Black Guardian Trilogy”.
After four days of con activity (and as many days recovery rest), we evaluate the challenges and successes of the 32nd installment of North America’s largest Whovian convention.
