Torchwood Rewatch: Combat (S1E11)
We step into the ring with guest Julie this week, returning at long last to our Torchwood progress to discuss Noel Clarke’s contribution to the first season. (Yes, THAT Noel Clarke.)
Classic Rewatch: The Armageddon Factor
Our good friend Drew from “Who and Company” joins us to finish assembly of the Key to Time, and wrap up the sixteenth season of Doctor Who.
Torchwood Rewatch: Out of Time (S1E10)
They say you can’t go back again…assuming you want to at all. Gwen, Jack, and Owen each take charge of caretaking an unexpected time traveler, coming to three very different ends.
Worthwhile: The Curse of the Black Spot
Applying our typical “silver linings” perspective as we do to nearly all Doctor Who content, we begin a positive look at maligned post-2005 episodes with a hapless crew becalmed at sea.
Classic Rewatch: The Power of Kroll
Skewering the fifth segment of the Key to Time on a lance like seafood on a kebab, the Doctor and Romana find some very familiar struggles for power on a swamp moon.
Torchwood Rewatch: Random Shoes (S1E9)
Gwen embroils herself in a ghost story where the spirit is the one haunted by the living, and the rest of the team effectively takes a week off.
Classic Rewatch: The Androids of Tara
Pointing a few hands’ worth of fingers at various impostors (both organic and cybernetic), the Doctor and Romana get waylaid by a problematic regency dispute while making off with the fourth piece of the Key to Time.
Torchwood Rewatch: They Keep Killing Suzie (S1E8)
Sporting a “risen mitten” and a “life knife”, the Torchwood team revives a traitor from their past to do…well, exactly what you’d expect a traitor to do: betray.
Classic Rewatch: The Stones of Blood
The Fourth Doctor and Romana get far more than they bargained for in the pursuit of the third segment of the Key to Time: namely, a court-ordered execution.
Torchwood Rewatch: Greeks Bearing Gifts (S1E7)
When writer Toby Whithouse gives us a story that finally centers around Tosh, we should know better than to expect a ‘very special episode’ where things turn out lovely.
