They Deserve More Time
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 34 minutes and 28 secondsWe task ourselves this week with identifying just a few of the briefly-met characters who we wish had another opportunity, large or small, to return to the program. It could be a passing cameo, a where-are-they-now glimpse into their lives after having met and interacted with the Doctor, or even a full episode adventure with them past, present, or future.

Classic Rewatch: The Talons of Weng-Chiang
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 35 minutes and 32 secondsWith an attempt to acknowledge the quality of the storyline while remaining keenly aware of the careless, and inarguably racist execution, we delve into the six-part conclusion to Season 14 and all the issues it brings to light.
-
Rotten Potatoes
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 42 minutes and 23 secondsIf broadcasts of Earth films ever get picked up by Sontaran fleets, this may be their reviews of what we consider "classics". We really don't expect them to be appreciated. We do, however, have a pretty entertaining time trying to figure out exactly what movie our noble knobby-headed warrior is ranting about.
-
Classic Rewatch: The Robots of Death
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 41 minutes and 24 secondsWith a fistful of sticky bike reflectors, we head into the Fourth Doctor and Leela's second adventure, an Agatha Christie-meets-Isaac Asimov murder mystery with Leninist overtones. (Oh, and sand!).
-
The Blank of Rassilon
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 43 minutes and 50 secondsWith a random noun generator at our fingertips, and just the right amount of competitive motivation to spur the creative mind, we attempt a game that takes seemingly innocuous objects, and bestows them with supreme Time Lord powers...of some sort. The usefulness of that power is entirely subjective.
-
Classic Rewatch: The Face of Evil
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 50 minutes and 36 secondsPoisoned thorn gripped tightly in hand, and memory failing us ever so slightly, we lunge toward Xoanan in search of missing female character representation.
-
Live from Gallifrey One: 30 Years in the TARDIS
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 19 minutes and 32 secondsAfter three (plus) days of panels, games, music, laughs, drinks, and reconnections with a massive Whovian family, we look at everything that the 30th anniversary of Gallifrey One has given us.
-
Packing for Gallifrey One 30
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 35 minutes and 17 secondsShort and sweet this week, we run down the things we're looking forward to (and getting involved in) at the upcoming GallifreyOne convention in Los Angeles.
-
Classic Rewatch: The Deadly Assassin
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 42 minutes and 38 secondsBack to Gallifrey without a companion, we watch the Fourth Doctor deal with his Time Lord kin in ways he couldn't have anticipated...even if he *is* Prydonian. We all lament the complete lack of a single female actor in the story, but resoundingly appreciate the invaluable additions to a fuller understanding of Time Lord culture. (Or at least bureaucracy.)
-
Whoperlatives
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 40 minutes and 37 secondsTrying out a new little game-activity, we go the old school yearbook route, and pick the "the best at", "the worst of", "the most likely to do (such-and-such)". Is it juvenile and ridiculous? Of course it is. Do you expect anything better from us? Yikes, we should hope not.
-
Classic Rewatch: The Hand of Fear
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 58 minutes and 25 secondsWith a wistful goodbye to a beloved companion, but a resounding approval for the story itself, we bask in the radiation to reconstitute a crystalline gem of a Fourth Doctor story.
-
Time Lord Down Time

Classic Rewatch: Masque of Mandragora
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 46 minutes and 57 secondsGazing into Season 14 like so many 15th century telescopes, we step back to a Baker and Sladen historical piece with a talented, if singularly gendered, supporting cast.
-
Resolution
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 5 minutes and 16 secondsThis week, we enjoy a boisterous, loud, daresay explosive hour-long adventure as our first and last piece of new televised Doctor Who content of the year. An all-too-familiar opponent makes a new appearance from a rather old point of origin, which leads to one of the Thirteenth Doctor's best verbal exchanges of the season.
-

The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 49 minutes and 0 seconds"I know that voice..." This week, Series 11 -- and the year 2018 -- closes with a bit of an off-planet chess match in "The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos".

-
The Tsuranga Conundrum
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 57 minutes and 55 secondsThis week, we tie on our bibs and tuck in to a heaping coil of antimatter with "The Tsuranga Conundrum", marking the midpoint in Series 11. We're all in agreement that this is stock-in-trade, dare we say "classic" Doctor Who, involving a complex set of interwoven challenges, limited time, interesting but not distracting supporting characters, and a blend of scientific wonder and oddball humor from our Doctor. Continue reading -

Classic Rewatch: The Android Invasion
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 43 minutes and 3 secondsThis week, Jay is out of the studio (or IS he?) as the rest of us learn to trust no one in 'The Android Invasion'. We're 90% certain we're watching Doctor Who and not Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but this is a Terry Nation script, so who can be certain? Continue reading -
