    This 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!

    Once 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 67 - The First Ladies of Doctor Who

    Ok, it's finally time to talk about "proper" companions (whatever that means). Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we talk about the companions that started (and re-started) it all. We're focusing on Susan, Grace, and Rose--the ladies who ushered in each "era" of Doctor Who. We find more parallels than you might expect (certainly more than some of us expected!).

    What do you think of these "first" companions? Let us know in the comments!

    Ok, it's finally time to talk about "proper" companions (whatever that means). Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we talk about the companions that started (and re-started) it all. We're focusing on Susan, Grace, and Rose--the ladies who ushered in each "era" of Doctor Who. We find more parallels than you might expect (certainly more than some of us expected!).

    What do you think of these "first" companions? Let us know in the comments!

    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 16 minutes and 10 seconds

    Our 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.")

    Happy holidays one and all! This week it's an oversized celebration, as we have all six Verities onboard for this ep! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, Liz, Lynne, and Tansy as we celebrate the season by talking about the last new Doctor Who episode we'll have for a while. It's mostly Christmas cheer all up in here, so if you're looking for a good rant, you're (mostly) in the wrong place. We talk Capaldi, Clara, Danny, Santa, and more!

    What did you think of this year's Christmas outing? Was it Santastic? Or ho-ho-horrible? Let us know in the comments!

    It's been a great year here at Verity! Thanks to everyone for listening, supporting, and taking part in the conversation!

    • Kat got some sweet Doctor Who Christmas gifts including a TARDIS blanket, a TARDIS mug, and a plush Dalek!
    • Lynne also got sweet DW stuff--most importantly, TARDIS pajama pants!
    • Tansy's family, too, got DW swag, including Dalek hats and Dalek Risk!
    • Liz got tickets to the Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular in May!
    • Erika got to reminisce about Calgary Expo 2013 because Steven's interviews w/Sylvester McCoy and the Torchwood cast are now online!
    • Deb got herself the current, awesome, (Big Finish) Humble Doctor Who Audiobook Bundle (dozens of titles, pay what you want, and help a good charity)!

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.

    The 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

    Now that it's all over, we look back at Series 8 as a whole. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, Liz, and Tansy as we discuss the characters and themes that made series 8 what it was. We didn't love everything, and (of course) we didn't all love the same things. But we (again, of course) find plenty to chew over after this, one of the most challenging series of Doctor Who to date.

    What did you think of S8? Did it hang together well? Was it inconsistent? Was it consistently disappointing? Always awesome? Or somewhere in between? And perhaps most importantly, how much did you love Capaldi (and his hair)?

    And with that, it's over--for another six weeks, anyway. Series 8 has come to a close, and its final episode has rather a lot to chew over. Join Deb, Erika, and Katrina as we delve into some of those elements: Missy/The Master, Clara as the Doctor, the evolution of lying, the self-realization of the Doctor... There are so many elements, however, that some of them will be left for next week, when we have many Verities to talk about the whole shebang--it's our Series 8 wrap-up!

    What did you think of the series finale? Was it a perfect culmination of a fantastic series? A fitting culmination for a lousy series? Or something in between? Let us know in the comments!

    The season finale has finally arrived! Or part one of it has, anyway. It's safe to say that most of the Verities are preeeeety excited about it. Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we  enthusiastically flail and squee and jabber about all there is to love and speculate about "Dark Water". There's a lot to chew on here. There's also a bit of a Skype lag, which causes some simultaneous talking, but that doesn't stop us from gleefully recounting our favorite bits and examining what (we think) is going on.

    What did you think about "Dark Water"? We know the response wasn't entirely positive, and as always, we're interested in all your opinions! (As long as they're phrased kindly and don't insult those who disagree, anyway. Of course, you guys are awesome and pretty much always stick to that!)  So please leave a comment and let us know what you thought of these revelations and why.

    Can it be Saturday already please?

    Also covered:

    • Tansy's already happy Halloween was much improved by seeing Sean Pertwee dressed as his dad, the 3rd Doctor!
    • Liz is the proud(?) new owner of a Destroyed Casssandra action figure!
    • Erika tests her mettle at Doctor Who Sporcle quizzes courtesy of Luke from TMDWP!
    • Deb looks forward to much panneling at the now-sold out LI Who! (In particular, an "In Defense Of..." panel! Leave your suggestions in the comments or tweet us with #indefenseof.)
