Classic Rewatch: The Two Doctors
When you have genetically enhanced predators troubling two generations of a Time Lord simultaneously in a Spanish hacienda, why not add…Sontarans?
A long-running Doctor Who fandom podcast aimed at open and positive discussion.
When you have genetically enhanced predators troubling two generations of a Time Lord simultaneously in a Spanish hacienda, why not add…Sontarans?
When two villains once thwarted by Sarah Jane and the kids team up to take revenge, you know who to call for backup: The Brigadier.
Maria and her dad are leaving, but not before dealing with one last alien invasion, just for old times’ sake.
Sucked out of quiet contemplation about the Flux conflict, we’re bounced around the collective timestreams and memories of Dan, Yaz, Vinder, and the Doctor herself…but what can we trust of what we see?
The mysterious Flux has scattered our trio just at the moment when Sontarans seem to have reappeared in Earth’s past and present timelines. The time for potato humor…is over.
With more pieces in play than a D&D tournament arena, Series 13 crashes in with a frenetic first episode that brings new adversaries, new friends, new conflicts, and new locations.
Pitting our heroes against not one but two formidable adversaries, we look at the six-part coup d’êtat story that ends not only the 15th classic season, but a very important relationship as well. We discuss the unexpected nature of this “Agnew”-penned season closer, the ever-changing nature of the conflict that helps maintain interest through a six-part story, and the unusual performances of Baker and Jameson, given the timing of the production.
If broadcasts of Earth films ever get picked up by Sontaran fleets, this may be their reviews of what we consider “classics”. We really don’t expect them to be appreciated. We do, however, have a pretty entertaining time trying to figure out exactly what movie our noble knobby-headed warrior is ranting about.
This week, Taylor from The PODcastica joins us for a surprisingly brief rewatch of Season 12’s two-part story, ‘The Sontaran Experiment’.
With barely contained enthusiasm, we charge the proverbial castle walls in our rewatch of the opener for Doctor Who’s Season 11, “The Time Warrior”, joined by Deb Stanish of the Verity! Podcast.
