    Review of S13E05 — Survivors of the Flux

    Show Notes & Links

    Eleven delivered some great speeches We still have unresolved feelings about the Timeless Child  Luke was told to search his feelings over 40 years ago Yaz, Dan & Eustacious Jericho were, in fact, travelling for *three* years Providing another great opening for Big Finish  At the time of recording, 13 & Yazz only have three specials remaining: Eve of the Daleks, Legend of the Sea Devils & the unnamed special for the centenary of the BBC  The YW loves modern day UNIT...  And [spoiler] was completely correct about the resolution of the cliffhanger

    Review of S13E04 — Village of the Angels

    Show Notes & Links

    The cliffhangers continue to not disappoint The Angels appeared in Blink, The Time of the Angels/Flesh and Stone  and The Angels Take Manhattan as well as in various other cameos Maxine Alderton also wrote The Haunting of Villa DiodatiReverse the polarity’ was said first in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sea_Devils and for the second time in The Five Doctors How fast is a Weeping Angel?  This was not the first mid-credit sequence which came in Death in Heaven  Our memories of Utopia are a little vague Claire Brown is a percipient The OM is confused about Weeping Angel biology

    Show Notes & Links:

    Azhur Saleem debuts as DW director Alain Resnais made Last Year at Marienbad  Satsumas are rare in Oz We do love Ruth Doctor (fugitive) & Jo Martin  Though this is not really an example of Ebert's law The Weeping Angels were introduced in Blink...  In which we learn the Angels have the phone box We don’t know much about the Mouri  Bell does not have a tamagotchi  Hopefully, one day, people will need COVID explained  The YW was *almost* on board with The Timeless Child

  • 56 - Ep. 55 – Several Exclamation Points

    Show Notes & Links:

    Director Jamie Magnus Stone has good ideas We don’t know much about the Crimean War but did know about Florence Nightingale & *should* have known about Mary Seacol  Sydney Newman wanted the show to have a ‘strong informational core based on fact’ Not like Back to the Future  Mary Seacoll was played by Sara Powell Oscar Isaac doesn’t write scripts

  • 55 - Ep. 54 – So Different, So Good

    Show Notes & Links:

    Some are quite invested in the Thasmin ship  As many were with Rose  We are still processing our feelings about the Timeless Child  & Division  Time Lords first appeared in The War Games  The COVID-19 impact on Doctor Who is a story still untold  Doctor Who has a long history on the ABC in Australia  A Thanos version of the Red Skull in an episode with a colour palette reminiscent of Guardians of the Galaxy Segun Akinola continues to deliver Dan Starkey looked truly disgusting The Doctor was once Lord President of the Time Lords  The Sontarans first appears in The Time Warrior  Paternoster Gang! Paternoster Gang!  Russell T. Davies foreshadowed his return as show runner with this Instagram Post The Cloister Bell tolls in the most serious of emergencies  The Mad Mole was a posthumous nickname for Joseph Williamson  Vortex Energy had less impact here than in Bad Wolf
