The Dominators 1
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 22 minutes and 21 secondsTT (1)
Steven and Erika embark on season six of classic Doctor Who! How will Erika’s opinion stack up against the fairly abysmal opinion of received fan wisdom? So far “RFW” has it wrong. Again. (But that could very well change as we go along. This story seems to have plenty of room to slide swiftly downhill.)

Steven and Erika power through a recon and a moving episode. They’re mostly entranced, with one notable exception on Erika’s part. Then they somehow end up in Newfoundland. You never know what you’ll get on Lazy Doctor Who…

Erika and Steven continue to work their way through “The Web of Fear”. The Doctor is missing; Anne Travers continues to be awesome; a Welshman is stereotypical; and Steven nearly chokes on popcorn—or on a bad Canadian joke.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 20 minutes and 32 secondsPP (1)
Steven and Erika get back to Doctor Who with a story they’ve both seen several times (including quite recently). This doesn’t faze them a bit, as they both still very much enjoy it.
Erika just wishes she had remembered to mention the groovy wallpaper in Astrid’s bungalow.

FOUR-FIVE
Steven and Erika keep trucking along though the ice. To her delight, Erika finds the voices are much much better when there are moving creatures to pair them with. Steven talks about Pink Floyd — and even manages to make it relevant.

The Ice Warriors 2-3
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 19 minutes and 51 secondsOO (2-3)
…ahem… TWO - THREE
Erika and Steven continue the Canada Day festivities with more Doctor Who. However, Erika isn’t feeling very festive, due to the vocal performances of some of the actors in this story. Why does it have to be a SIX-parter?

-
The Ice Warriors 1
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 23 minutes and 4 secondsOO (1)
…or should we say “THE ICE WARRIORS ONE” to match the opening credits?
We should definitely say Happy Canada Day! As per tradition, Steven and Erika spend part of their national holiday watching this show (created by a Canadian!) and podcasting about it.
There’s an awful lot to say about this episode! From incidental music to Victoria headcanon to a surprising amount of talk about Mark Gatiss’ stories, but there’s still time to squeeze in the official Canada Day-Doctor Who theme song!

The Abominable Snowmen 2
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 24 minutes and 8 secondsNN (2)
Steven and Erika get back to the mountains (and argue about which mountains are better) for some more sweet Yeti action. There’s also some yammering about missing episodes, Twitch, royals, a local art installation, and a bunch of vagueness about forthcoming podcast projects.
