Extra! - A Titan of Comics
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 9 minutes and 46 secondsFor this week's Extra, we haven't watched anything. Instead, we've been reading! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we talk about the new(ish) line of Doctor Who comics from Titan Comics. We've all read the first five issues of the 10th and 11th Doctors' series, and some of us have read even farther. We discuss what it's like to see the Doctor in 2D form and, even more excitingly, we cover the new companions he meets in the pages of these delightful books!
Have you read the Titan comics yet? If so, let us know what you think in the comments! And whether you've read them or not, you're welcome to enter our giveaway--just leave a comment on our giveaway post!

Ep 70 - Intellectual Squee-quals
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 27 minutes and 24 secondsThat's right. We're pretty excited about this week's companion topic. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we talk about the most educated companions--the academics, the doctors, the scientists, and more. What is it about them that makes them appealing? Is there anything that can be off-putting to audiences? Does Romana count? The answer to that last one is debated hotly (but laughingly)!
What do you think of the brainier companions? Do you see yourself in them? Or do you seem them being too full of their own capabilities? Let us know in the comments!

Extra! - Regeneration Critics
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes and 12 secondsIt's Extra!-time again. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we get a little silly (and tangential...surprise, surprise) while talking about regenerations. What makes a "worthy" regeneration for the Doctor? Which ones make us uncomfortable? What would we like to see in the future? (Besides a better Skype connection...grr.) What would we like to see from the past? All this plus lots of giggles!
What are your thoughts on regeneration? Let us know in the comments!

Ep 69 - Ace is Ace!
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 8 minutes and 11 secondsThis week we focus on one companion--the winner of our Verity! companions poll! Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne, as we talk about Ace! Our personal feelings about Ace as a companion are mixed, but we all agree (mostly) on her importance as a companion. It's pretty easy to draw a line between Ace and Rose, and we do just that! We also chat a lot about Ace: as compared to other women on screen at the time, as a character to identify with (or not), and as a tuxedo-wearer.
What are your feelings about Ace? Do you love her attitude? Or does she put you off as a viewer? Or something in between? Let us know in the comments!

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 47 minutes and 33 secondsOnce again, we bring you a Gallifrey One-based Verity! that we recorded while in the same room! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we giggle over convention fun and revel in the rare experience of recording face-to-face. This year's Gally saw many of the Verities on stage (interviewing!), on panels (being erudite and awesome!), and wandering the lobby and halls of the LAX Marriott (having a lovely time!).
In addition, Deb has a great interview with director Rachel Talalay, who was a bit of a rockstar at this year's convention.

Ep 66 - Companions Who Never Were
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 16 minutes and 10 secondsOur year of companions kicks off in delightful style! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we discuss those Doctor Who characters who were almost companions--those who were slated to become TARDIS travelers but never did, as well as those who we wish had stuck around. Deb accidentally invents a new word*. Kat is thoroughly predictable. Erika unabashedly cheats. And Tansy has a list!
Which guest stars do you wish had become full-time companions? Let us know in the comments!
*comfanion, noun; a Doctor Who character not generally considered a companion of the Doctor, but whom a viewer loves so much, they think should have been. The viewer may even argue against popular opinion, claiming their favorite *is* a companion. (Examples: "Bret Vyon is my favorite companion." "He was only in one story! He's a comfanion, at best." -- "Sally Sparrow is my favorite comfanion. I wish the Doctor would've invited her onto the TARDIS.")

Verity! Episode 64 - Dark, Dangerous Doctor
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 17 minutes and 6 secondsThis week sees the last entry in our year of villains. Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we chat about one of the most interesting villains of them all. Who could it be? Why, it's the Doctor himself! There are more than a few times our beloved "hero" does things that are far less-than-heroic. We talk about a number of examples, why they are (or aren't) really villainous, and even slide into a conversation about the nature of evil! Deep stuff. Sorta.

Verity! Episode 63 - Tetchy Antagonistic Rascally Devious Intractable Spaceship
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 7 minutes and 13 secondsThe year is almost over, but there's still time to finish out our year of villains in style! Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we talk about the times when the TARDIS has crossed over to the dark side--or seemed to. Or at least acted a little tetchy. Okay, so we realize "villain" is a bit of a strong word, but there were certainly times the TARDIS was antagonistic. And we cover a lot of examples! Here's a list of (I think) all the stories we talk about in this ep:
- The Edge of Destruction
- The Daleks' Master Plan
- The Mind Robber
- Logopolis
- Castrovalva
- Frontios
- The TV Movie
- Boom Town
- The Lodger
- The Doctor's Wife
- Let's Kill Hitler
- Hide
- Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS
- Big Finish:
- The Settling
- Zagreus
What other examples can you think of? Let us know in the comments. And let us know what you think of the TARDIS as a "baddie"!
