We watch “The Reality War” (Series 15, Episode 8) where the Earth doesn’t get destroyed but resets to begin May 23rd all over again. After the reboot occurs, the Doctor gets rescued by erstwhile companion Anita, UNIT, and its assorted minions get restored to their pre-wish glory, the Rani and Mrs. Flood bring back Omega, Omega eats the Rani, Mrs. Flood f’s off, and the Doctor easily defeats Omega and saves the day. But wait... there’s more! Whilst all this was going down, re-writes made Poppy Be...

We watch “Wish World” (Series 15, Episode 7) where the Doctor and current companion Miss Belinda Chandra become... married-couple-with-a-child Mr. and Mrs. John Smith?!? Whilst we try to figure just WTF is actually going TF on, recently past companion Ruby shows up on the 'Smith's' doorstep casting doubt on their progeny, distantly past companion Mel shows up to cast doubt on broken coffee mugs, and UNIT shows up to cast doubt on hetero-normality. All this and our lead is about to die on this se...

We watch “The Interstellar Song Contest” (Series 15, Episode 6) where the Doctor takes increasingly-less-reluctant-companion Miss Belinda Chandra to see definitely-not-Eurovision™-in-space. Whilst they await the inevitable camp performances (that’s gay theatricality for those uniformed listeners... scoff... eye-roll), the Doctor Princess Leia’s his way through space, Belinda R2D2’s her way to the control center, and Mrs. Flood Emperor Palpatine’s her way back from near death. All this plus Susan...

We watch “The Story and the Engine” (Series 15, Episode 5) where the Bel and the Doc travel to Nigeria so he can get a haircut. Whilst the Doc goes out of his way to save a couple bucks (I mean back in the day I used to drive nearly an hour to get cheap gas and smokes in the next county so I get it), the Bel wreaks havoc in the local bazar and the Bar(ber) extracts payment for service in the form of spider chow. Plus we get multiple cameos including a Playwright, a Fugitive Doctor, and a Space B...

We watch “Lucky Day” (Series 15, Episode 4) where Belinda mostly sits this one out and the Doctor shows up just enough to justify his paycheck. Whilst our leads get several (lucky them) days off, we meet Conrad. Conrad’s a podcaster (so far I like him...) who has an interest in the Doctor (so relatable...) and dates former companion Ruby (I mean what non-problematic heterosexual CIS male wouldn’t want to... right?...) until it turns out he was using her (wait... WHAT?!?) to get intel with the pu...

We watch “The Well” (Series 15, Episode 3) where the Doctor and Belinda travel to the distant future where they encounter totally non-Earthling humans who deny knowledge about totally Earthling humans. After the Who Two take an unexpected space dive with their new ‘friends’, the Doctor recalls a prior visit to planet-formerly-known-as-Midnight in glorious standard definition whilst Belinda has a ‘shot’ with Captain Shaya. Unfortunately old frenemy Midnight Entity will not be ignored and proves t...

We watch “Lux” (Series 15, Episode 2) where the Doctor and Belinda travel to ‘racist’ Florida (or let’s just call it what it is: ‘Florida’) circa 1952 in order to ultimately travel to a marginally less racist 2025. Whilst said subjectively tortured travel-prep is occurring, the Doctor Scooby-Doos encounter Lux, the God of Light, Belinda Scooby-Doesn’t believe that Lux is anything other than a pesky hologram, and we Scooby-Doubt that Lux is neither all that big nor all that bad. Also Mr Ring-A-Di...

We re-watch the Series 2 penultimate and ultimate episodes. Starting with “Army of Ghosts” where the Doctor and Rose arrive back in London to do some laundry. Oh yeah! And visit with Jackie... and said ‘ghosts’... but mostly do laundry. Followed by “Doomsday” where the Who crew save the day but the Doctor loses his bestie. Whilst all this is going down, pre-Martha gets upgraded, Jackie and Pete get reunited but it feels so ewww, and Rose lives but dies inside because she will never ever get to s...

We've re-watched the best of series 2 and now we re-watch the worst of said series. Sigh... First up “The Idiot’s Lantern” has a victim of familial abuse return to their abuser on the advice of the Who Crew. Next “Love And Monsters” is a Doctor-and-companion-lite episode which uncomfortably ends on a fellatio joke (?). We unfortunately end with “Fear Her” wherest we again revisit family abuse. Fortunately Denise showed up to give us a big virtual hug the only way she can: with her trademark snar...

We continue our re-watch of the 2nd season with the two part introduction of the spaghetti-faced Ood. First up is “The Impossible Planet” where the Whosome Twosome land on the very possible space station with the aforementioned Ood giving off satanic possession vibes. Then we spelunk down to “The Satan Pit” confirming that the Devil made the Ood do it (Oodit?). Whilst all this is going down, the Doctor likely meets up with the artist-formerly-know-as-Satan, Rose impossibly has Satan as her co-pi...

Continuing our rewatch of Series 2 brings us the long awaited two-part return of... Pete Tyler! Also I guess the Cybermen... whatever Boomer (scoffs)... Whilst “Rise of the Cybermen” lands us in an alt-universe London where their Rose is a dog, Mickey is gay, and our Doctor reunites with his Potterverse father. “The Age of Steel” kills off alt-Jackie, Rickey (alt-Mickey), and the rising alt-Cybermen. You just know this Doctor is not unhappy about some of these developments.

Next up on our NewWho re-watch are arguably the two best episodes of series two. First is “School Reunion” where current companion Rose gets a ‘chip’ on her shoulder when she and the Doctor bump into past companion Sarah Jane. Awkward... Then we travel to the 51st century where a bickering Rose and Mickey nearly get harvested for spare parts whilst the Doctor transports back to the 18th century to get his groove back with a French courtesan. This podcast episode is definitely brought to you by c...

After concluding our Eccleston re-watch, we now begin our David Tennant reexamination. First up is “The Christmas Invasion” where a practically comatose Doctor saves the planet from said invasion... all whilst it’s just another day for the majority of the planet. Followed by "New Earth" where the Doctor and Rose visit New Earth (oh... clever...) 23 years after Earth original flavor blowed up real good. Finally ending on "Tooth and Claw" by traveling back to 19th century Scotland where they meet ...

We watch the First Doctor’s second serial featuring their first encounter with the Daleks titled “The Daleks”. But we’re watching the 60th anniversary version which chews up seven black and white 25 minute episodes and then regurgitates out one 75 minute coulorized version that still feels like it contains lots of filler. Whilst said story is being vomited onto our eyes, the Doctor lies to his companions to get his way and the Daleks lie to everybody to get their way. I guess some things just do...

We watch “Joy To The World” (Series 15, Episode 0) where the Doctor exposes their always simmering underlying dickishness to this episode’s titular companion Joy in order to save the world from certain death in the form of an immature Star Seed (takes a deep breath...). Whilst said self-discovery is occurring, the Doctor has a ‘gap year’ with shoulda-been-companion Anita, Joy is treated poorly shortly before sacrificing herself while several other people also die, and we’re supposed to feel ‘joy...

We conclude our Series One re-watch with the Satellite 5 three episode saga... whist also not-coincidentally concluding the ninth Doctor’s saga. First up is “The Long Game” where the Doctor and Rose try to impress new companion (nope) Adam by taking him to the year 200,000 yet need to rescue them all from certain death in the form of Albino Simon Pegg. Next we jump to “Bad Wolf” where the Doctor and Rose return to Satellite 5 where she finally succumbs to certain death as “The Weakest Link”... u...

Rejoin us on our re-watch of nearly 20 year old Nu-Who! So on this podcast episode we watch two episodes which happen to be one singular story. First is "The Empty Child" where the Doctor tries to impress Rose by taking her to London during the Blitz whilst rescuing her from certain death in the form of the creepiest preschooler ever. Next is "The Doctor Dances" where the Doctor and Rose rescue a hospital ward from certain death in the form of overly literal nanobots. Did I mention Jack Harkness...

So rejoin us yet again as we re-discuss “Dalek” where the Doctor tries to impress Rose by taking Rose to a museum and rescues Rose from certain death in the form of the Doctor’s oldest enemy. Then we regather together to yammer on about "Father's Day" where the Doctor rescues Rose from certain death in the form of her wrongly living father. Did Rose cause both episodes’ stories to oc...

We watch the last half of “The Five Doctors”, the 20th anniversary special that posits the eternal query: “If Tom Baker can’t be bothered to show up, is it really all that special?” As we ponder that question, the Doctor encounters (yet doesn’t recognize) his childhood bestie, the Doctor encounters phantom companions he shouldn’t know that they shouldn’t recognize him, the Doctor encounters a clumsily-plot-necessary Sarah Jane Smith, the Doctor encounters unused filmed footage, all whilst the th...

Whilst said ‘special time’ is occurring (it’s natural... we all do it...), friend-of-the-show-Tim asks us which random Doctor/Companion pairing would ‘do it’ (ship much Tim?), we recycle past Drunktor Who talking points (which ones you hear depend on what Steve deems broadcast worthy), and John presents Steve with another bracket... this time involvin...

So whilst Sutekh is ‘Thanosing’™ the universe, Mel travels down memory lane, the Doctor goes spooning with a ‘kind’ woman (oh did we already get over Rogue? too soon Doctor... too soon...), and Ruby gets the lamest origin story. Even Hawkeye is like ‘Wow... that (John-E filter engaged) shit is weak’. Get it? Cuz Hawkeye is so lame as to n...

So the same woman who keeps showing up on various planets and in various time-lines is the frakkin’ B plot?!? OK then (deep breath). Whilst said misdirection is occurring, we are also treated to the blatant disregard to what is an actual anagram: ‘Sutekh’ is not even close to being an anagram of ‘S Triad Technology’. ‘Dr...

Whilst the Whosome Twosome dance to anachronistic chamber music, evil shape shifting bird people wreak havoc for (Nan-E filter engaged) poops and giggles (Shonda Rhimes wishes she thought of that). All that plus the Doctor flirts with a bounty hunter (surprisingly not Boba Fett... I mean would smash either), there’s another oh-no-Ruby’s-dead fake out, and a Kylie Minogue song helps this epis...

Whilst all this was going down, the Doctor and Ruby are shocked (SHOCKED! I tell you) to discover that Lindy and her wealthy, white, blonde haired, Aryan buddies are al...
