Steven Moffat gave us a gem in the fourth episode of series 8 of Doctor Who. We didn't expect this one. Think I'm being a little overboard? Perhaps. But in Listen, we visit the Doctor as a child, Clara accidentally visits Gallifrey, and this is the Seinfeld version of Doctor Who in pace, dialogue, and being a show about NOTHING. You may think this episode was about nothing, as far as a creature goes, but I definitely believe this episode means everything to me. Peter Capaldi became my Doctor 1B ...

Straight Outta Gallifrey made sure to go back, or forward, or sideways...I lose track sometimes, to revisit the Susan Foreman stories. Is she a Time Lady? Ashford is unsure. Siskoid is convinced that she is. No matter. Covering these stories featuring the lovely Carole Ann Ford has been such a delight. Listen as Ashford, Siskoid, and Joe Dredd discuss the Dalek Invasion of Earth!

Demons run when a good man goes to war. Ashford loves that line so much. Yes, Straight Outta Gallifrey is covering the Steven Moffat mid series 6 finale, A Good Man Goes to War. Plots are unraveled and tightened at the same time. Matt Smith is at his best in this episode, the pictures are pretty, and we get a feature by the wonderful Alex Kingston. What's not to like? Well, Ashford has some concerns, but he still believes this is one of the era's best episodes. Siskoid from Siskoid's Blog of Gee...

Siskoid and Ashford discuss Steven Moffat's The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon, the two part opener for series 6. There are so many beautifully directed episodes in this series, and this two part opener is no exception. Moffat takes the timey wimey and ups it up to...11. Sorry.

Siskoid and Ashford discuss The Aztecs by John Lucarotti, a true historical where the Doctor admonishes Barbara Wright about "messing" with time. This first, on air, T.A.R.D.I.S. team are separated quite a bit, covering more ground of this landscape where the Aztecs resided. Was Barbara right for trying to change this culture with her relatively modern, English ways? Perhaps stepping back and allowing History to take its course is not the right thing to do?
