Doctor Who: Verity!

Latest Episodes:

Gallifrey Once Again Feb 17, 2016

Show notes

Once again, we bring you a slightly sleep-deprived, recorded-in-person-live-at-Gally extra! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we blearily chat about what made this year's Gallifrey One convention so spectacular for each of us.

We mention all kinds of awesome stuff during this episode, but post-Gally travel and fatigue have prevented cataloging everything. Google is your friend and mine. If you'd like more info or a link to something you can't find, let us know in the comments, and we'll see what we can do.

Along the same lines, if we mentioned you or your awesome doings, please feel free to put links to yourself or your stuff in the comments. Share your fabness!

Instead of links, please enjoy some pictures from our Verity! meetup [on our site], courtesy of our pal Chip, the Two-minute Time Lord.

In Defense Of (and) Gally! Feb 10, 2016

Show notes

Gallifrey One is right around the corner, and we can't wait for our "In Defense Of" panel! Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we get our In Defense Of fix before the con so Lynne and Tansy can participate (since they [sadly] won't be at Gally). Deb comes up with a doozy for defense. Lynne breaks Deb. And there are many, many laughs.

And Deb and Erika talk a bit about what they're looking forward to at Gally!

102 - Unearthly Cavemen Bits Feb 03, 2016

Show notes

As promised, for our year of firsts, we're taking you back to the very beginning! Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we dive into the very very first Doctor Who story, "An Unearthly Child". We've all seen the first episode more times than the latter three, but we have a surprising(?) amount of positivity about the rest of the story. Those cavemen aren't half bad!

What do you think of the Doctor's first onscreen outing? Let us know in the comments!

Emergency Extra! - Moffat Says Goodbye, Chibnall Says Hello Jan 27, 2016

Show notes

Schedule be damned! When there's Doctor Who news this big, we throw gently set the spreadsheet aside. Join Deb, Erika, and Tansy as we talk about our feelings upon hearing Steven Moffat will be stepping down after season 10. And just as importantly, we discuss our hopes and fears for the Chris Chibnall era to come. Of course, the news that we won't have any new Doctor Who until the Christmas special is quite something as well. We've got sadness and joy, hope and fear, excitement and meh.

What about you? What was your reaction to all the news? Let us know in the comments!

Extra! - Continuity Errors Jan 20, 2016

Show notes

Welcome to our first "first" Extra! Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we dip back in time to look at Steven Moffat's first official contribution to the world of Doctor Who. It's a short story called "Continuity Errors", originally published in the Decalog 3: Consequences collection. We find lots of very familiar ideas and spend some delightful time comparing these elements to elements of his televised stories.

Have you read "Continuity Errors"? If so, what did you think? Did you recognize many of the same tropes you've seen on TV? Or did you read it first and recognize his televised stories as similar to this? Let us know in the comments!

101 - A Rosey Outlook Jan 13, 2016

Show notes

It's the first official episode of our fourth year! Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we start off our year-of-firsts with "rose", the first episode of Doctor Who's 2005 re-launch! We discuss our thoughts (if any) at the announcement of the show's return, our reactions to the episode as it aired, and our feelings about it now.

There's also some fascinating LiveJournal archaeology and at one point, Erika has a "Liz" moment. It's loads of fun to kick off a new year!

What do you think of "Rose"? And were you excited about the show's return? Were you nervous? Or did you not even know about it at the time? Let us know in the comments!

Extra! - The First (Companion) Shall Be Last Dec 23, 2015

Show notes

We bring our year of companions to a close by returning to the very first one, Susan. (Though apparently that distinction is up for debate, as is anything and everything in Doctor Who!) Join Deb, Erika, and Liz as we talk about Susan's tenure on the show and her place in the pantheon of companions. Does she reverberate throughout the history of the show? Or is she an outlier? It's a fun discussion!

Then Deb interviews Carole Ann Ford herself at LI Who. Listen in as they chat about Susan from the perspective of the woman who brought her to life!

What do you think of Susan? And how do you think she fits into the history of the show? Let us know in the comments!

Ep 99 - Party Like it's Series #9 Dec 16, 2015

Show notes

It's always a party when we have all six Verities in the house! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, Liz, Lynne, and Tansy as we squee and muse and generally chat about series 9. It's tons of fun and less chaotic than you might expect. And as always, we veer into thinky territory as we discuss whether this season really is the most feminist of new Who (or whether it's really feminist at all). There's lots to cover, and we enjoy the heck out of covering it.

What did you think of series 9? Where do you weigh in on the question of this series' feminism? What do you think of Clara's arc? The hybrid (or lack thereof)? Let us know in the comments!
