UNspoiled! Doctor Who

Doctor Who, S09E13- The Husbands Of River Song Apr 22, 2021

Thanks for listening.

Doctor Who, S08E13- Last Christmas Apr 15, 2021

Hey everyone, thanks for sticking by us on this run (if, indeed, you have stuck by us. if not, I hardly blame you).
This is the penultimate episode. Due to popular demand, our last episode will be covering The Husbands Of River Song (I think that's the name and I'm not going to look it up for fear of spoilers), which Jaime has already vetted and decided is pretty fun.
I appreciate you all.

Doctor Who, S08E11&12- Dark Water & Death In Heaven Apr 08, 2021

This is it. This is the episode where I finally admit...I just don't like Doctor Who.

Doctor Who, S08E09&10- Flatline & In The Forest Of The Night Apr 01, 2021

Greetings, lovely listeners! This week Jaime and I are bringing you a double-up because it was recommended that we just find a way to get through this season. So here we are!
In the first episode, people are being turned 2-dimensional (not such a change for this show, eh? Badum-tissss) and in the second episode, the trees are trying to save us. AS USUAL.
Thanks for listening, and we will see you next week with 2 more episodes!

Doctor Who, S08E08- Mummy On The Orient Express Mar 25, 2021

Alright, well, this episode isn't quite as bad as the last one, but it's also not super great. It suffers from the same problem so many Doctor Who episodes seem to, where there's an amazing premise with a great set piece, and somehow it's all squandered.
Also, I think you all might have broken Jaime.

Doctor Who, S08E7-Kill The Moon Mar 18, 2021

Well. That happened.

Doctor Who, S08E06- Caretaker Mar 11, 2021

Happy Thursday, campers, and welcome to the next episode of Doctor Who! In this episode, I'll be honest, Jaime and I barely talk about the plot at all. We're way too distracted with what a total dick the Doctor is being, and the fact that Clara is just...letting it happen. Also, Jaime tells me about the fan opinions that were circulating at the time of this episode's airing, and I find myself surprised that people had such strong opinions to Danny Pink.
Thanks again to you all for listening, and we will see you next week with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S08E05- Time Heist Mar 04, 2021

Hello and Happy March to all my beauties out there!
This episode is the one where a lady has cloned herself because she understands the meaning "if you want it done right you need to do it yourself" . There's also a terrible mind-reading monster who eats minds...except that maybe he's not terrible after all? And maybe he doesn't want to eat minds either?
Actually, I would like you all to weight in on that latter part.
Thank you all so much for listening, and we will see you again soon with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S08E004- Listen Feb 11, 2021

FYI- due to a scheduling screwup on my part, there will be no episode od Doctor Who next week. It's completely my fault. I'm sorry.
This episode is one in which the Doctor deals with a long-held fear that many people can likely relate to, and decides to investigate further into why it's such a ubiquitous image or dream. Also, more of Danny Pink's history is revealed, and it just gets stranger and stranger. Also, Clara isn't great at the whole tact and sensitivity thing, as it turns out.
Thanks so much for listening, and we will see you in 2 weeks with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S08E03- Robot Of Sherwood Feb 04, 2021

Please be sure to check out the War For The Tower podcast on your podcatcher or at www.warforthetower.com
Greetings, everyone, and welcome to a full episode of great content that did not get deleted, lost, muted, or otherwise fucked up. HURRAH!
In this episode, there's no escaping news about Robin Hood because he's apparently a Wall Street company now which seems very much in line with his ethos! Nothing to see here, folks! Except for a very hot Robin Hood and a somehow even hotter Clara.
Thank you all very much for listening, and we will see you next week!

Doctor Who, S08E02- Into The Dalek Jan 28, 2021

Hello, my beauties! Apologies for not having anything to post last week, but we're back and we're better than ever. I hope?
To celebrate, please support our sponsor The War For The Tower podcast at www.warforthetower.com and tell them we sent you!
This week we're dealing with Daleks again and we get to see the Doctor be even more of an asshole than usual. Thankfully, Clara isn't here for it and smacks him across the face, which you all have to know I'm about to make a GIF and use as a profile picture somewhere.
Anyway, thank you all again for your patience, and we will see you next week!

Doctor Who S07E16- The Time Of The Doctor Jan 14, 2021

PLEASE SUPPORT INDIE PODCASTS! Go check out The War For The Tower at www.warforthetower.com
This is the second Christmas episode of the season, which kind of works because it's not as Christmassy. It's a little bit of a mess but it has some very effective moments that get me real teary-eyed.
Thanks so much to you all for listening, and we will see you next week!

50th Anniversary Episode- The Day Of The Doctor Dec 24, 2020

Greetings, lovely people! I'm coming to you today with a little Christmas miracle; Jaime and I have been convinced by you all to stick it out with Doctor Who at least a little while longer, so please don't worry about the future of the show just yet!
This episode was a really interesting choice for an anniversary, and I found the concept behind it pretty fascinating. I also thought Jaime's inside info on how the 9th Doctor was supposed to be the War Doctor particularly interesting, and while I totally respect Christopher Eccleston's decision to decline, I would have loved to see that.
Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I hope you all have a beautiful holiday!

Doctor Who, S07E13- The Name Of The Doctor Dec 17, 2020

WAR FOR THE TOWER IS GOOD. GO LISTEN TO IT! www.warforthetower.com
Okay folks, this is an important episode, because this is the one where we ask you if we should keep doing this.
I will keep the shownotes brief, because this is all contained in the episode itself, but SPOILERS we are deeply unhappy with this finale and neither of us is confident going into the next season, considering how much of the show is still ahead of us.
Let us know what you think!

Doctor Who, S07E12- Nightmare In Silver Nov 26, 2020

Don't forget to check out The War For The Tower podcast at www.warforthetower.com and let them know you heard about them from us!
In this episode, I'm so exhausted and I'm so sorry you had to hear me slowly break down and stop forming coherent sentences. Between my long pauses and Jaime's patient vaping in the background, we've really got some strong atmosphere in this one. However, this was another cyberman story so I figure if we were going to kind of fall apart, this one deserved it.
Thanks for listening, and we will be seeing you in 3 weeks with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S07E11- The Crimson Horror Nov 19, 2020

Greetings, everyone! Don't forget to check out our sponsor at http://www.warforthetower.com and let them know we sent you!
In this episode, a lot of weird shit happens and Jaime and I have a long, honest talk about plot holes and unexplained/underexplained events on this show. I really want to know what you all think, because this episode might have been one of the most confusing for both of us.
Thanks so much to you all for listening! See you in 3 weeks with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S07E10- Journey To The Center Of The Tardis Nov 12, 2020

Greetings, listeners! Please be sure to check out our episode sponsor, The War For The Tower podcast at www.warforthetower.com!
This episode, we've got the tour of the TARDIS that I've been waiting for. Well, almost. I don't think we ever get to see that swimming pool, do we?
This is a really interesting episode, and like I said to Jaime it's one of the few times when the Doctor says "you don't want to know" about something, and it turns out he was actually right. I didn't want to know.
Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you all again soon with a new episode!

This episode, which was recorded two days before Halloween, arrived right on schedule for the spookiest season and I was so delighted by it. I really need more spooky manor houses in my life.
I even liked the twist, which built up enough goodwill for me that some of the weird stuff ("Help Me" written on the wall, for example) wasn't enough to irritate me the way it can at other times. The only thing I really didn't understand was the Doctor rolling out the red fucking carpet for that monstrosity at the end. WHAT THE FUCK, DOC?
Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

This episode of Doctor Who takes place on a submarine and is very interested in the concept of mutually assured destruction, which gets brought very much to a head in the final sequence. Before that, though, we're mostly dealing with a rogue monster running around killing people and claiming they attacked him first, even though we KNOW THAT ISN'T TRUE. Did the writers just forget that part?
Anyway, thanks for listening, and we will see you soon with a new episode!

This episode of Doctor Who is one of those where I feel very confident going into it, but by the end I'm really not sure how I feel about it anymore. Sometimes I get a little tangled up in my thinking, and i need to talk things out to get a handle on my own opinion, and this time around I think that by the time Jaime and I finish talking about it, I like the ending after all.
However, can we all agree that someone needs to put the Doctor on a leash for god's sake? He needs to stop running off!
Thanks so much for listening, and we will see you again soon with a new episode!

Hello lovelies! We're almost done with the section of episodes that I watched out of order, so next week things should be back to normal in terms of recording. Sorry about that!
In this episode, there's some weird spoon creatures that were made to download human beings into the cloud, for the consumption of the same creature we met in The Snowman, AKA The Great Intelligence. THIS IS STRANGE, YO.
Thanks for listening, and we will see you next week!

Doctor Who, S07E05.5- The Snowmen Oct 01, 2020

Alright, so here's my attempt to put things to rights. Forgive us last week for not having an episode, and I hope you can forgive me for taking a vacation because there won't be an episode next week either!
This one was odd because I'm already a little spoiled due to watching out of order, but not enough to have any real effect on the plot that I can tell, and also this was one of those episodes with a conclusion that doesn't really make any sense to me. If anyone listening can make sense of how people crying over Clara saved them all, I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks so much for listening, and see you in 2 weeks!

In this episode, there are weird little cubes that appear on the surface of planet Earth with no discernable rhyme or reason. They hang out, doing nothing, still with no apparent purpose, for almost a year until people practically forget about them...and then...they strike. Uh oh! It's the Chicken Dance!

This episode is one of those which has a really great setup and interesting story, but which ultimately has an unsatisfying underlying message that eroded the power of the original righteous confrontation between the Doctor and the doctor. I just don't resonate with the redemption arc here, and I'm interested to hear what you all think.

This episode is a really wild one, very silly at times but always a lot of fun. I'm very much here for Queen Nefertiti, and I wish that we were going to hang out with her for longer. And don't get me started on the dinosaurs, because you all have to know how into that I am, and I'm really impressed with how good the effects look.
Thank you all again so much for listening, and we will see you next week with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S07E01- Asylum Of The Daleks Aug 22, 2020

I want to thank you all for being so patient on the release of this episode. As many of you know, there have been several deaths in Owen's family over the past few months and we've had to travel for funerals twice in the past two weeks, resulting in the delay of recordings and a lot less time for me to do editing. I've managed to stay more on top of things than I expected, but there are still some things that I'm late on. Please continue to bear with me as I catch up. I really appreciate you all.

This was a rollicking episode full of lots of twists and turns, and I'm delighted that the Daleks continue to demand breakfast foods.

Jaime and I are talking Narnia this week, which is something very close to my heart and not at all close to hers. I'm one of those kids that consumed all seven books at a pace that made my parents worry, only to turn around and start at the beginning again, so this shit is my total jam.
Also, there's a very touching moment at the end that actually really got to me and I am full of the Christmas spirit already so LET'S GO!

I didn't mention it at the time, but the fact that this season has wrapped and we're still with the eleventh doctor is really surprising! I didn't expect him to last this long, and I honestly don't know how much longer he's on the show so perhaps he's the one for the who next season as well. I will be interested to see!
This episode was actually a lot of fun, but there were some pretty big plot holes that I didn't understand and I wonder if any of you can offer up theories on the questions I bring up in this episode.
Thanks so much for listening, and we will see you next week!

Doctor Who, S05E12- Closing Time Jul 30, 2020

Greetings, my beauties! It's time for the penultimate episode of Doctor Who Season 6, and we're hanging out with Craig again! I did not see that coming!
It's so odd what Jaime said about the fact that it's been 200 years for the Doctor since he said goodbye to Rory and Amy. When he runs into them (well, more like sees them from afar and refrains from actually contacting), it's a strange and rather sweet moment, and it would still have been no matter how long had passed, but I like knowing how long it's actually been for him.
But meanwhile, he's got some cybermen to deal with, and I thought we had all agreed that we weren't doing this anymore?

This episode was a pretty fun one in its way, because I'm all about looking at the specific things that scare us and why they do. However, it ends in a surprising way, with the Doctor deciding that Amy and Rory are in too much danger too often by being around him, and he decides to drop them off at their flat and say goodbye.
However, I'm not convinced. I think that they will be back. I guess we shall see!
Thanks for listening, and see you soon!

This episode is a strange one in that I really rather liked it but feel very conflicted about it overall. Jaime and I don't totally agree on the way that things are explained, and there's a part of me that feels the Doctor did the right thing but I'm also super mad at him about it?
Meanwhile, I really wonder if this will affect the way Rory sees him in any way. I mean, it's one thing to know in an abstract way that the Doctor can't be trusted, it's another to bid goodbye to your wife through a closed door and know that he set this up to happen. Blerg.

This episode was one of those that I think I will remember solely for the creepiness of the villains while forgetting absolutely everything about the actual plot. It's got a lot of potential, but it did sort of seem to lose its own thread as we neared the end, and things weren't wrapped up with the kind of answers that I was looking for.
Nevertheless, Jaime and I had a lot of fun discussing it, and I hope you enjoy it! See you next week!

his episode is just balls-out action from start to finish and I'm left feeling a bit of whiplash afterward. I'm delighted, though, that I could tell just who Mel was right away because I've gotten to know the characters so well.
I really have no idea what happens from here, but I would like to register my disappointment in the fact that Hitler is not, in fact, killed.

I'm not going to lie to you all; I had huge problems with this episode. There were so many details that didn't line up, there were character choices that didn't make sense, there was a big reveal at the end that was straight-up upsetting to me and made me kind of angry, and overall I am just worried at the direction things are taking. I don't know what to expect, I don't really have any predictions, but I'm concerned.

This episode takes place on the high seas, and it's definitely a bit of a romp. While this episode looks great and is generally pretty fun, it feels like one that will fall by the wayside in the end. However, I really loved the set design and costumes and it was a beautiful episode to watch.

The messages, the hash marks drawn on their skin, the weirdness of their effect on people, I really enjoy the Silence and I find them pretty freaky.

This finale was a bit of a mixed bag. In some ways I was really happy and I got more than I even expected with Amy and Rory getting right back into the blue box at the end of the episode, which was lovely. But there's a whole thing with Amy that Jaime and I discuss, and I'm not sure if it's going to get any better.

This is an episode with a really nice little twist that I was retroactively surprised I didn't see coming, even though there were some signs along the way. Also, Rory is here, but not really, and I was absolutely gutted at the scene between him and Amy. RORY DESERVES BETTER THAN ALL THIS.

This episode, the Doctor once again intends to bring our friends somewhere other than where they end up. As it happens, they are in our year, 2020, and there is some wild shit going on because of a drill that is attempting to get practically down to the core of the earth.
Amy gets pulled down to lord only knows where, and it looks like these things are just straight-up cutting human beings open, which is exactly what the Doctor does NOT want us to do to the member of the other species that the humans have already run into. Also, where's that little boy?

In this episode, Amy is finally put in a position that forces her to make a commitment to either leaving Rory for good, or deciding that he is who she wants to be with. Overall, the whole thing seems like it's a choice between the Doctor and Rory, but it's much more about Amy than it is about either of the men in her life.
There's also a mysterious baddie who has placed them in two different scenarios, and they have to figure out which one is real in order to resume their normal lives. But he's not at all what he seems to be, and neither are these scenarios.
Thanks for listening and we will see you next week!

Oh hello there! It's time for that episode of Doctor Who where I side with the villain solely because the villain is super hot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ What can I say. Sometimes I'm easy.
The Doctor inexplicably thinks it's a good idea to crash the stag party with the sole intention of letting the Stag in question know that his fiance kissed the Doctor and that it was good.
Lord.
Then he takes them on a romantic trip to Venice to try and patch things up, and weirdly...it works? Maybe? It's hard to tell.

It's time for Part 2 of our encounter with the Weeping Angels! This was a really cool episode that I really liked, with some major flaws. I'm really curious what you all thought about this as well.
We rejoin our crew, which has narrowly missed an encounter with the angels and managed to board the crashed ship. However, there's a problem and they keep having to turn off the power, which turns off the lights, which....you know.
Then there's the whole strangeness of the ending, where Amy says that nearly dying has given her some perspective and she wants to bang the doctor.
Ugh. I guess.
Thanks for listening!

In this episode of Doctor Who, the Angels are back and things are WEIRD. Omg this episode was real freaky and made me UNCOMFORTABLE. But in a good way.
Also, River is back! Yay!
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

This episode was, much to my surprise, still pretty fun even though there were Daleks that I wasn't particularly excited about. I appreciated the fakeout which made us think the Churchill was being threatened by them, only to find out that he was under the impression the Daleks were on his side. Oh, Churchill, you ninny.
Meanwhile, there's a whole thing with these other Daleks getting an extreme makeover, and they come out with a fresh fade looking fly as hell. Oh snap, and there are cookies!
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you next week with a new episode!

This episode was a rough one for me. I ended it feeling duped and angry and like I had just been asked to be complicit in something so ugly and horrifying that it made my skin crawl. To top it off, the more interesting artistic parts of this episode didn't make a lot of sense to me, although maybe some of you will be able to shed some light on it. Let me know.
Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S05E01- The Eleventh Hour Jan 30, 2020

Please support our sponsor, War For The Tower Podcast, at www.warforthetower.com!
Hello everyone! It's an exciting day, because we're starting the fifth season of Doctor Who and we're getting introduced to a whole brand new Doctor!
Turns out this Doctor has got some growing to do, because he just does not have it quite together by the time our adventure begins. It's not his fault, but when he turns around and walks right into a tree after offering to help a little girl, I have to admit I wouldn't have been too confident in him, had I been in her shoes.
Also, it turns out that he's not as good at directed the TARDIS as he thinks, either, because after promising that he'll be back in 5 minutes he winds up being gone...what was it? 12 years? And the problem with the crack in the wall...it's still a problem.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you next week with a new episode!

Doctor Who, David Tennant Specials- End Of Time 2 Jan 23, 2020

Make sure to check out our delightful sponsor at www.warforthetower.com! Download them, listen to them, review them, support them!
This episode marks the final time (that I know of, anyway) in which we see David Tennant as the Doctor, and it's a bit of a bumpy landing but I think we've been through worse. The Master finds out where the drum beat in his mind is from, and there's a confrontation between his tormentors, who also just happen to be Time Lords themselves. Rude.
Also, there's a whole thing with poor Donna being in danger of getting her memories back, and thankfully it turns out to be something that helps her escape the Master, although I can't help but wonder why the Doctor wouldn't warn her family about this. But at least she's okay, and gets the wedding she deserves. Plus, y'know, millions of dollars in lottery winnings.
Thanks so much for listening, and we will see you next week with the start of Season 5!

David Tennant Specials- End Of Time Jan 16, 2020

Make sure to check out the War For The Tower podcast at www.warforthetower.com!
This episode was equal parts baffling and hilarious. For half of it, I was bewildered, certain that I'd missed something important or skipped and episode. For the other half, I was cracking up at the sheer nonsense. Somehow the Master managed to inhabit a piece of jewelry like a horcrux...but by accident? Somehow he managed to come back looking like he had looked before he died, except for the blue skull thing? Somehow he can jump real high? And there's some rich guy we never heard of with a machine that can be hijacked so it turns everyone into the Master?
I guess?
I honestly have no idea what's even happening.
Thanks for listening!

David Tennany Specials- The Water Of Mars Jan 09, 2020

Hey everyone, please be awesome and listen to our sponsor podcast, The War For The Tower, at www.warforthetower.com! It's a fast-moving RPG podcast set in the Dark Tower universe, and it's tailored especially for those who yearned for a slightly different ending. So, you know, most of us.
This episode features one of the creepier monsters we've ever seen on the show, and then there's the aliens from Mars. HEY-ooooooooooo!
No but seriously, the whole thing with the Doctor here is really a tough one because I know what the show wants me to think, and then there's the reality of what I actually think...spoiler alert, they don't match up.
Thanks so much for listening, and we will see you again soon with a new episode!

Well lovely listeners, thanks for joining me during one of the saddest episodes of Doctor Who so far. This was gutting and you're all responsible for it, and I hope you're happy. You sadistic little gremlins.

Doctor Who, S04E13- The Stolen Earth Nov 28, 2019

Don't forget to check out our sponsor, The War For The Tower podcast, at www.warforthetower.com! It's just the thing if you're a fan of the Dark Tower series and you enjoy fast-paced role-playing games!
This episode I'm afraid I'm going to leave you all in terrible suspense, because we're watching Part 1 of a 2-part finale, and you're going to have to wait until after Thanksgiving for the second part! I'm excited though, because I rather liked this episode and I'm super glad that there's someone else masterminding the plan other than the Daleks.
Also, Rose is here, and she's not used to be counted out so it's proving to be a bit of an adjustment when nobody thinks to include her in the video chat. What do you expect, Rose? You're supposed to be in another universe!
Thanks for listening, and to the Americans out there, Happy Thanksgiving!

Doctor Who, S04E12- Turn Left Nov 21, 2019

If you're into The Dark Tower and RPG games, don't forget to check out our sponsor, The War For The Tower podcast! www.warforthetower.com
It's time for the episode that changes how we all see Donna, and it's pretty awesome, TBH. I am 100% here for Donna to be absolutely crucial to everything and the key to the world's persistence in existing free of the rule of the Bad Wolf. I KNEW I LOVED HER FOR A REASON.
What we get here is a Sliding Doors situation, in which Donna is forced to relive a key moment in her life (though it didn't feel like a key moment to her at the time) and make a different decision. This leads to a different version of her life unfolding, in which she never met the Doctor...but the new version of her life leads to a new version of the whole world's course of existence, and it's pretty ugly for most of us.
Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S04E11- Midnight Nov 14, 2019

Please check out our awesome sponsor, The War For The Tower, here! www.warforthetower.com
Oh my goddddd, y'all, EVERYONE SEND GOOD VIBES TO JAIME'S BOYFRIEND JASON! The original file for this episode looked like it was lost. When I opened it to edit it was completely blank, and I was ready to cry. Jaime got on the phone with me and her boyfriend steered me through recovering the file, and voila! Here we are!
I'm so glad that it didn't get lost because this was probably my very favorite episode of the entire series. I'm not going to say any more about it here, but I'm SO HAPPY YOU ARE HERE!

Doctor Who, S04E10- Forest Of The Dead Nov 07, 2019

Hey there, listeners! We're finally here with the second part of the two-parter storyline about dangerous shadows, dead trees, virtual reality, computers, and skeletons!
I was really pleased with how much this episode picked up and ran with all of the setup from Part 1, because that's not always how things play out. I was really invested in Donna's relationship, and I really hope that her love returns someday. Who knows. One can dream.
Meanwhile, River is over here having to sacrifice herself to save everyone...and I'm not totally sure I buy the reasoning behind it. But I guess! She manages to get saved in a little memory stick in the sonic screwdriver, so she goes on living in what is allegedly a idyllic VR system until...the end of time? Hmmm I'm not so sure this worked out super well for her.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you all soon with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S04E09- Silence In The Library Oct 31, 2019

It's time for part one of this two-part story, and I'm hoping against hope that the second part is as interesting as the first was. Also I'm really hoping that Donna comes back out of her weirdo robot body. I hated that so much.
This episode is full of cool and interesting little mysteries, gorgeous imagery, and fun little character moments that I found really compelling. I'm dying to know who River is and why she was given such a terrible name, but perhaps that mystery can't be solved.
Thank you all so much for listening, and don't forget to check out our rad sponsor, The War For The Tower podcast at www.warforthetower.com

Doctor Who, S04E08- The Unicorn And The Wasp Oct 24, 2019

Hello my beauties! It's time for one of my favorite Doctor Who episodes so far, and I'm just so excited about it. I just want there to be a spinoff series where the Doctor teams up with Agatha Christie to solve mysteries, pretty please.
This episode is simply right in my wheelhouse. I love me some murder mysteries, I love me some Agatha Christie, and I love a full-cast production in an English manor house where everyone seems shady and like they might have a motive.
Sure, there's a somewhat silly giant wasp, but like...that's fine. I don't even mind. Because all of this is just wonderful.
Thank you all so much for listening, and I hope you enjoy the episode!

Doctor Who, S04E07- The Doctor's Daughter Oct 17, 2019

Hey nonny nonny, Patrons! It's time for the next episode of Doctor Who, in which the title gets me all excited but then it turns out to be a little bit of a let down, actually.
Now, before a bunch of people message me about this, Jaime and I talked about the end when the Doctor says that jenny is "too much like him" and that's why she's dead, and both Jaime and I were like, "WTF does that even mean". Looking back, I am pretty sure he means that because she threw herself in front of him, she's inherited his savior complex and that she would still be alive if she hadn't been so willing to sacrifice himself the way that he always does. Fair enough.
Honestly though, it's a little tough for me to care about a character with no backstory, whose life begins and ends (or not) all within one episode. I was really hoping that the Doctor had knocked somebody up. No such luck.
Thanks so much for listening, everyone, and we will see you again soon with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S04E06- The Poison Sky Oct 10, 2019

Hi everyone! It's time for the second part of the two-part series of series four, in which it turns out that these aliens are trying to clone themselves and become the new race of Earth.
I'm super excited because Martha has been roped into whatever their next adventure is, and I have been such a fan of her chemistry with Donna that I can't wait to see what happens next. Where the hell are they going to go, and why is Martha so crucial when they get there?
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S04E05- Sontaran Stratagem Oct 03, 2019

Hey there, you beautiful Whovians! Join me and Jaime as we talk about the episode where two companions from the new series meet one another for the first time, and it goes better than I ever could have expected.
But of course, that's not the main event in this episode. Instead, we'er facing off with a race of aliens who can clone human beings and control them, as well as channel their memories for use in their scheme to...well, actually, I'm not sure what they want. But I'm sure it's nefarious.
Thanks so much for listening, andI will see you soon with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S04E04- Planet Of The Ood Sep 26, 2019

Hey there lovelies! It's time for the next episode of Doctor Who, and the Ood are back and still being oppressed. Guys, this episode is a huge bummer so prepare yourselves.
Honestly, I really liked this episode. The story is again pretty clean and straightforward, there's great acting throughout, the stakes feel pretty relevant, and overall I feel like I cared about everyone involved. I liked the fact that the Doctor feels like he owes the Ood after what happened with the Satan Pit.
Meanwhile, there's some interesting imagery going on regarding the involvement of PoC and I'm not sure if I'm reading into it or not, so I would be interested to hear your thoughts.
Thanks so much for listening, and we will see you again next week with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S04E03- The Fires Of Pompeii Sep 19, 2019

Hey there, you gorgeous geniuses. It's time for the episode of Doctor Who in which Donna continues to be the MVP and ask all kinds of questions and puts to Doc on blast when he decides he's just going to abandon some people to their fates.
Donna, never ever change.

Doctor Who, S04E02- Partners In Crime Sep 13, 2019

I'm so sorry to be late with this, everyone! After this coming week, the bulk of wedding planning should be taken care of and I'm going to be be back on track, but I beg for you to be patient with me until then.

Doctor Who, S04E01- The Voyage Of The Damned Sep 05, 2019

Hey there, listeners! It's time to get into Season 4 (which according to Amazon starts with this episode) and we're on the Titanic! Not that Titanic, but also not NOT that Titanic.
This episode is about a greedy maniacal capitalist who is willing to kill thousands of people in order to sink his own company that booted him. It's really feeling a little like a headline I would expect to see on Facebook, and if not for the fact that he's now a cyborg, I would say that this is totally believable.
There are also, in the grand tradition of Christmas episodes, creepy seasonal statues/servants/robots that turn evil. I am always here for that.
Thanks for listening, and see you next week!

Doctor Who, S03E14- The Last Of The Time Lords Aug 29, 2019

I'm not going to write anything about this episode. It doesn't deserve it.

Doctor Who, S03E13- The Sound Of Drums Aug 22, 2019

Alright, folks, first of all here's the link to our fundraiser for Project Corazon, which provides funding to lawyers who want to represent detained immigrants but who can't afford the expense of travel and hotels. Please help us get to our goal of $2,000! We're over halfway there! https://www.mightycause.com/event/Unspoiled
Now that's out of the way, please listen to me get really angry at an episode of television. This was a really tough one for me, both because some of the plot contrivances are excruciating and because there was so much interesting stuff to work with here and we're...what, just gonna ignore all that? I guess so!
Y'all. I'm trying to trust you, but this is hard.

Doctor Who, S03E12- Utopia Aug 08, 2019

Hey all you wonderful people! It's time for the next episode of Doctor Who, and guess what!
I WAS RIGHT!
Ahem.
There is not only another Time Lord in this episode, but also Jack is back! Hurrah! I expected him to come back but I never thought that he was going to be fucking immortal, and I'm totally here for this weirdness. I really have no idea what to expect in the next episode now that Master is back on his shit and apparently is scary enough to kill the Doctor.
Check out our fundraiser, and don't forget to hang out with us on Monday! https://www.mightycause.com/event/Unspoiled

Doctor Who, S03E11- Blink Aug 01, 2019

It's the episode you've apparently all been waiting for!
I'm not going to say too much here, because I'm posting this rather late, but I hope you enjoy it. Have fun!

Doctor Who, S03E10- The Family Of Blood Jul 26, 2019

Welcome, UNspoiled! Whovians, to the newest episode in which I am very confused about Owen saying this is the episode that made him stop watching.
There are certainly problems in this episode, and Jaime and I talk about them some...well, really mostly talk about the overall inconsistency of the Doctor as a character. Because we are meant to like him and trust his judgment, but the end of this episode shows us someone who is breathtakingly cruel for the sake of it, so it seems to me. I don't know why the family is immortal in the first place, as there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer, but I would be interested in hearing from you all about what you thought. Did he MAKE the family immortal just so he could torture them for eternity?
Anyway, thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S03E09- Human Nature Jul 18, 2019

Hey everyone! Thanks for joining Jaime and I as we embark on another weirdo adventure, and catch up with a Doctor who has no memory of who he is or what he's doing in 1913 England. For that matter, neither do we.
I'm keeping this one short and sweet. Enjoy the show!

Doctor Who, S03E07- 42 Jul 11, 2019

Hey y'all! Welcome to that episode of Doctor Who where the Doctor almost gets his insides burned out by an angry, vengeful star.
I am HERE for it.
There are a ton of similarities to The Satan Pit episode, but I thought that this one was much more effective because the Doctor is actually in danger and because the threat feels a lot more reasonable than just, you know, the Devil.
Also, we get a sneak peek at the fact that Martha's mother doesn't trust the Doctor one bit, and has thrown in her lot with the mysterious Mr. Saxon. Hmm.
Thanks for listening, see you next week!

Doctor Who, S03E07- The Lazarus Experiment Jul 04, 2019

Hey there, lovely people! Jaime and I are here to make fun of a weird bug mutant and his chicken dance!
Forreal, I swear that will make sense once you listen. His chicken dance will also be featured in the Unspoiled Whovians facebook group, here! https://www.facebook.com/groups/104519093828708/
This episode we've got Mark Gatiss chewing the scenery, spitting it out, and chewing it again. It's really a sight to see, and I'm always such a fan of his even though there's not really a good reason for me to be. He just seems like he's always having fun. This is also the episode where the Doctor takes on Martha as a real companion, and I am happy for her but also...you know how I feel about all this.
Thank you all so much, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S03E05&6- Daleks In Manhattan, Evolution Of The Daleks Jun 27, 2019

Hey everyone! Jaime and I are trying to make up for some lost time by doubling up on episodes this time around, plus Jaime really kind of wanted to get past this couple episodes because they're not her favorite.
She's not wrong about how drawn-out this story feels. There are lots of weird side-quests going on that just sort of confuse everything, and serve no purpose other than to give Martha something to do because apparently she's no us in the plot between Dalek-Sec and the Doctor.
Overall, though, nothing in this episode is quite as great a sin as the design of Dalek-Sec, who shall haunt my dreams forever.
Thanks for listening, and we will see you soon with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S03E04- Gridlock Jun 20, 2019

It has been so long that I'm sure you forgot you'd even subscribed to this podcast, but we're back anyway! I hope you missed us and that you haven't decided to disown us.
This episode makes even less sense than usual, and what bums me out is that it didn't even occur to me that it didn't make sense! I just thought I had missed something. I'm still sort of holding out hope that one of you out there will be able to set me straight and tell me that there was something me and Jaime overlooked.
However, I did enjoy the acting and the revisit to our friends the Catfaces, and I'm always here for Martha getting huffy because the Doctor is insufferable about some things. You tell him, Martha!
Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S03E03- The Shakespeare Code May 23, 2019

Hey NONNY NONNY! It's time for you to check out Day 11 Podcast at day11podcast.com because they're covering Game Of Thrones and I suspect that shit is about to get REAL.
This episode was super fun. We've got time travel, we've got witches, we've got Shakespeare, we've got Bedlam hospital, we've got a long poem that Natasha reads the entirety of to Jaime for no apparent reason. We find out what certain things mean, and sometimes the definition is more confusing than the actual word. This episode HAS IT ALL.
Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you all again soon with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S03E02- Smith & Jones May 16, 2019

Hello, my beauties! Don't forget to check out our sponsor for this episode, Day 11 Podcast! www.day11podcast.com
This episode, we get to meet the newest companion and she's WONDERFUL. I am hoping that she's not removed from her post anytime soon, because I'm looking forward to getting to know her and her dramatic family. Also I will be very interested to see what her medical background brings to the show.
I'm a HUGE fan of the villains in this episode. Every single one of them, from the rhinos to the vampire to the messengers, is amazing and I want them all to come back. Such a shame about the vampire, though.
Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S03E01- The Runaway Bride May 09, 2019

It's time for Season 3 of Doctor Who, ladies and gents and others! I'm totally here for this Christmas special bringing back some old friends of mine, and I'm hoping against hope that we get to see them yet again in another special. Just make them the villains every Christmas, what do you think?
In this one-off episode, the Doctor is paired up with a woman named Donna who was betrayed by her garbage faux-fiance, and for once he really gets some of the pushback that he deserves. Donna is just not here for his shit. I love it.
Thank you all so much for listening, and we will see you next week with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S02E13&14- Army Of Ghosts, Doomsday May 02, 2019

Don't forget to check out our sponsor at www.day11podcast.com
Hey there, wonderful people! Jaime and I are here with the final episodes of Season 2, and it's a doozy. These two episodes are where it seems like we will say goodbye to Rose forever.
I think if this wasn't the final episode of the season, and if this episode wasn't written the way that it was, I might have some doubts on whether or not this really spells the end for Rose Tyler. But in truth I think that this is our last goodbye, barring some kind of surprise cameo in later seasons, and I will miss her.
I hope you all enjoy the episode, and we will see you next week with a new one!

Doctor Who, S02E1- Fear Her Apr 25, 2019

Y'all. I'm not wasting my breath on a post for this.

Doctor Who, S02E11- Love & Monsters Apr 04, 2019

Hello there my fine people! I'm here with an episode of Doctor Who that probably isn't going to get the coverage it deserves because I didn't remember to rewatch the correct one. Althou, perhaps that is exactly what is does deserve.
This is a really weird one that felt so un-Who-like that I completely forgot that i watched it at all. I didn't hate it, it was just super weird and uneven and it felt like nobody could decide what they wanted it to be. You can see in this screenshot exactly what I mean.
Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S02E10- The Satan Pit Mar 28, 2019

UNspoiled Whovians, it's time for Jaime and me to talk to you about a wild episode of television that I certainly wasn't expecting on this show in particular. Last episode I was surprised that the Devil was here, this time around I'm surprised that the Devil is like 20 stories tall and seems to be pretty much as ugly and fiery as advertised.
This episode is not too different in a lot of respects; the Doctor and Rose get separated, so she has to use her wits while he does his own thing to solve the problem on his end, and there's a chase in which one noble personage sacrifices themselves for the sake of the party. Sadly, there is a whole crew of people who aren't saved by the end, and all I can say is that I hope we get to see the Ood in another episode.
Thank you all so much for listening, and we will see you next week with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S02E09- The Impossible Planet Mar 21, 2019

Don't forget to check out our sponsor, Day 11 Podcast! www.day11podcast.com
Hey everyone! Welcome to the next installment of Doctor Who in which we meet some of the cooler creatures we've come across so far, and also the Devil.
Wow. Burying the lede there.
But seriously I actually rather liked this episode. It's super weird and surprising, and there's an unexpected human element here that isn't anything like what we've come across in other episodes due to their all being professionals who are isolated and on a mission. It's a weird thing, though, because they also have an enslaved race that they treat like cattle, and I'm not here for that shit.
I'm not at all sure where things are going, stay tuned to find out!

Doctor Who, S02E08- The Idiot's Lantern Mar 14, 2019

Hello everyone! I'm here to make you look at this awkward photo of David Tenant licking a Bakelite appliance. You're welcome.
Actually, Jaime and I are here to tell you about the newest episode of Doctor Who, which for once I liked better than Jaime. I hope that you're all ready to hear about a particularly horrifying dream that I had, which seemed a little too well-timed. Creepy.
I'm very into this one, though, even though some of the metaphors are pretty darned ham-fisted. And despite the fact that I liked the episode, I'm still kinda mad about how it ended.
Thanks so much for listening, and enjoy the episode!

Doctor Who, S02E07- The Age Of Steel Mar 08, 2019

Oh, hello there! Have you missed me? I'm here with the next episode of Doctor Who now, so stop missing me. You can start missing me again in an hour and a half.
Jaime and I aren't really too kind to this episode, although there are parts of it that we really liked. I mean, I'm totally here for Mickey moving on and getting back into a version of his life in which Rose doesn't even exist. There's no more thorough way of breaking up with a person that I can think of.
However, the same problem from the previous episode carries into this one. These robots are just not scary, and the inconsistency of the main villain's goals and desires make things really muddled. I was relieved when we returned to the present and we get to see that Jackie is okay.
Anyway, I hope that you enjoy this episode, and I will see you all again soon with a new episode!

Doctor Who- S02E06- The Rise Of The Cyberman Feb 28, 2019

Listen, I already know what you're going to say. This episode of Doctor Who is called 'Rise Of The Cybermen' not 'Cyberman'! And I'm here to tell you that Amazon Instant does NOT have your backs because they labeled it 'Cyberman' and that's what I'm calling it, no matter what the whole rest of the internet says. However I would 100% support you if you decided to write Amazon a strongly-worded letter about accuracy and Christmas Specials.
In this episode, Barty Crouch Sr. is here to destroy humanity in favor of emotionless robots powered by human brains, and yet it's unclear why he wants to do this. He talks about his own fear of death, but he doesn't announce his own intention to "upgrade" and he somehow came up with this idea on his own despite these Cybermen bring in other episodes? I'm not really sure how this worked.
However I'm always a fan of alternate realities in which there are versions of characters we know and love, so I actually enjoyed the episode despite its nonsensical plot because I'm always here for more Jackie and Pete being alive was also an unexpected pleasure. Pretty much just give me more than that and take the Cybermen out entirely, and we'd be good.
Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with the next episode of Twilight!

Doctor Who, S02E05- The Girl In The Fireplace Feb 22, 2019

I'm sorry for my lateness on this, but I think I'm finally figuring out what's wrong with my computer and there shouldn't be any more delays. Fingers crossed!
In this episode, there's a really awesome woman that I knew nothing about and I want to find out more. Also, there are yet more awesome masks that give me the heebie-jeebies. And in my personal opinion, the best part of this episode is the costumes.
There's also a little but of a love... square? The Doctor is into the Madame, and Rose is into the Doctor, and Mickey is still into Rose, and the Madame is into the Doctor but is stuck with some lame king which like...snore, amirite?
Anyways, this was a lot of fun and I hope you all enjoy listening!

Doctor Who, S02E04- School Reunion Feb 14, 2019

Hello my wonderful listeners! It's time to talk about the episode of Doctor Who where some people come back from the original series, and one of those people is a tin dog. Oh also, Giles from Buffy is here and everything is great.
This is also the episode in which I decide to just take a firm stand that the Doctor is kind of a fuckboi and that I'm irritated at how many women seem to fall for him just because he's basically magical. Like sure I get that draw but like...come on, ladies. You're an AFTERTHOUGHT to this guy, get a grip.
Anyway, I loved this episode and I wish Giles could come back at some point because he does some great work here. Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you next week with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S02E03- Tooth & Claw Feb 07, 2019

First thing first, make sure to check out our sponsor, Day 11 Podcast! They're covering Star Trek Discovery and loving it. http://www.day11podcast.com/
Hey there you Whovians! I'm here with the next episode of Doctor Who, in which there's a castle, Queen Victoria, and a mothafuckin werewolf, and who knew that this was what I needed in my life?
This episode is goofy as hell, don't get me wrong. But it's that epic kind of goofy that I can really get behind. The only thing that bums me out is how inconsistent the werewolf mythology is within the very same episode in which it has been introduced, but what can you do.
I'm also a massive fan of this slow burn reveal of what Torchwood is. Apparently it's an institute, even though I was kinda hoping that it was a laser.
Thank you so much for listening, and see you next week!

Doctor Who, S02E02- New Earth Jan 31, 2019

Hello there my lovely Whovians! I'm here with an episode that's going to be mislabeled to all of you if you're not watching these on Amazon the way that I am. According to them, this is the second episode of the second season, and I'm sticking with that simply because it will keep me from getting mixed up since it's the only spoiler-free point of reference I have. My apologies for any confusion!
This episode is about the colonization of a new planet by people who are looking to recreate Earth, and the new human race that is going to live there. Cassandra is back, and she's delightful as a body-snatching debutante who flirts no matter whose body she's in. She wants to be the last human, but it's time for a whole new evolution to take over and she's not immortal, no matter how many bodies she jumps in and out of.
I hope that you all enjoy the episode, and we will see you next week!

Doctor Who, S02E01- Christmas Invasion Jan 17, 2019

Welcome to the New Year, New Who event, hosted by Natasha and Jaime! Your dedicated hosts will be showing you how to improve your Who hair, get a snappier Who outfit, and grow a new Who hand or two to get things rolling in the new year!
This episode was recorded over a week ago so forgive me for my lateness in getting it up; I was struck down by a plague like so many of my brethren and basically just laid in bed for 2 straight days. But I'm back in fighting shape, and I'm excited to share this episode because it was hilarious and I am definitely going to want to watch this one again when it's the holidays. Why didn't American shows get into the tradition of doing a special Christmas episode?
Thank you so much to all of you for listening, and Jaime and I will be seeing you again soon with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S01E13- The Parting Of Ways Dec 27, 2018

First of all, I don't want anyone yelling at me that I got the title wrong! Amazon clearly has this episode labeled "The Parting Of Ways" and that's how I said it in the intro...but online virtually EVERYWHERE it's called "The Parting Of THE Ways". So go yell at Amazon.
This was the finale of Season 1 and also the finale of the Eccleston Doctor, whom I am aware is not a favorite among fans but will always be dear to me because he was my first and because I love Eccleston. I am very excited to find out what everyone loves about Tennant but I'm sorry to see Eccleston go.
We wrap up this season (and we wrap up 2018!) with Jaime answering some questions that fans have submitted to her in the spoiler group, and she shares some trivia with me about the filming of this and how the marketing department totally spoiled the surprise of a new Doctor appearing. Good help is so hard to find.
Thanks so much to all of you for listening and supporting the show. I love you dearly. Have an amazing holiday and an awesome 2019!

Doctor Who- S01E12, Bad Wolf Dec 20, 2018

Wow, you guys. I was NOT ready for this episode. Quite aside from the fact that there are way more Daleks left than even I thought (since I sort of had it figured that the one in the other episode wasn't the last) the whole tone and feel of this episode is really dark and disorienting and in some cases downright frightening.
The show starts off with a really jarring moment in which the Doctor wakes up in a tiny closet-like room with no idea how he got there, where he is, or what happened to Rose and Jack. As things are slowly revealed to us, we learn that everyone has somehow wound up in the studio of some reality show, and the penalty for being voted off or "made over" is death.
Meanwhile, there's something that is almost a person controlling the programming, and Jaime and I aren't really sure what her deal is, where she comes from, how many others there are (if any) and she seems to simply be there to pull the Doctor into the situation. In any case, it turns out that this whole thing started when the Doctor took out the giant ceiling alien back in 'The Long Game', and the Daleks are here to fuck up Earth forever.
Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I hope you enjoy the show!

Doctor Who- S01E11 Boom Town Dec 13, 2018

Hey there, lovely listeners! I'm here with the episode of Doctor Who in which we find out that the aliens in a previous episode did not all die, and one of them has set up residence in Cardiff and is the mayor there. She's planning to create an explosion big enough to kill millions of people so that she can ride the wave back to...wherever she's hiding out with her criminal family, I guess? Most of them are dead, but she claims to have more when she's talking to the Doctor. It's just hard to know what's actually real.
This episode has a lot of really fun moments, like when the gang is all chill and going out to eat and telling stories about the places they've been and the things they've seen and done. Even Mickey seems to be having a good time at this point. But things turn sour quickly when Mickey confesses that he's seeing someone else, and that he's still really hurt by the way Rose took off. He's even more hurt by the fact that when she contacted him asking to meet, he dropped everything and ran to her...but as he's pouring out his heart to her, he looks up and she's gone.
In the end, the TARDIS has a soul that our dear evil villain looks into, and an expression of joy passes over her face as she whispers, "Thank you!" and collapses, turned back into an egg. What a weird ending, amirite? What's up with the damn TARDIS?
Thanks so much to all of you for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S01E10- The Doctor Dances Dec 07, 2018

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of timeline mayhem and weird sci-fi elements! Doctor Who is here to dance for you!
This episode wasn't quite as compelling as the one before it, but I still liked it in spite of itself. I wish these nano-genes were a real thing because they seem awesome, and it's a really nice change that not only does everyone get to live, but some old lady gets her leg back! So we're actually in the black by the time it's all over!
I'm not super jazzed about the Doctor obviously having a thing for Rose that she's somehow not aware of despite all of his super-obviou signals, because jealous dudes aren't something I have a lot of patience for. But I'm going to let it go for now and see where it leads.
Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you next week with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S01E09- The Empty Child Nov 22, 2018

Greetings, friends! I hope that those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving are having a lovely time with friends and/or family, eating and drinking a lot, and feeling thankful! Those of you who don't celebrate it...I wish the same thing!
This episode is a slightly creepier one, more in the same vein as the Dickens episode in tone. There's a mystery here, with a strange child that wanders around plaintively begging for his mom, and he's wearing an old-timey gas mask so that makes it EXTRA creepy. By the time the episode wraps up, we're still in the middle of this story and I'm not sure what's going on.
Also, Malcolm Merlyn is in this episode playing a dashing rogue with a spaceship of his own, and while I obviously think the Doctor is right not to trust him, I also figure the Doctor is mostly jealous of his charm. He wants Rose all to himself, obviously.
Thank you so much for listening, and I will see you in 2 weeks with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S01E08- Father's Day Nov 15, 2018

Hey there, Who-Heads! Whobies?
Wait. It's Whovians. Right? See, I'm getting this!
This episode was a bit of a gut-punch for someone like me, because my father died about five years ago and I often wonder if anything could have been done to save his life. Rose is in a very different situation than I was, though, because she never knew her father at all and grows up hearing glowing stories about him from her well-intentioned mother, so when she does get to meet him it's a bit of a shock. Rose isn't bringing her own childhood baggage to the relationship the way someone would if they were seeing a parent they had been brought up by...unless you count the baggage of missing out on a hugely important person being in her life.
I'm mostly game to ignore the time dragons and weird issues with the TARDIS needing to be "charged" in this episode, because the performances here were top-notch and deserve all the attention. Let's just say that even Jaime can't explain a lot of that nonsense away.
Thanks to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Doctor Who, S01E07- The Long Game Nov 08, 2018

Hey there, folks. Election night is over and most things are still terrible, so please do yourselves a favor and enjoy this episode of Doctor Who to forget your cares and worries for a little while. I highly recommend you pick up one of the series I'm covering for Spoil Me! as well, for some additional distraction if you need it. That way you have something to read and then something to listen to.
It's really galling that this episode is all about fake news, considering when it is going up on the feed, but this is the world I have been given so please forgive me. You all can rest easy knowing that there isn't some shapeless, terrifying monster waiting to eat us all...oh wait.
Thanks for listening, everyone! See you next week with a new episode.

Doctor Who S0106- Dalek Nov 01, 2018

Daleks be like, "I don't know if you've heard of me, but I'm kind of a big deal."
This episode we are getting our first look at one of the few creatures in Doctor Who lore that I'm actually aware of, and the Dalek proved to be every bit as entertaining as I had hoped. They're basically robot Nazis, but with the mewling, complaining voices of crotchety old men who think their nurse is stealing from them. I'm here for it.
Oh and by the way, they can fuck shit up.
The [allegedly] last Dalek of them all leaves a swath of dead bodies in its wake, and I really did want the guy who collects aliens to be one of the ones dead on the floor, but he's getting his memory wiped and his business taken over, and I guess that's probably a better punishment than anything.
Thanks so much to all of you for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Doctor Who- S01E04&05 Oct 25, 2018

Hey there, folks! I'm so sorry for missing last week, but Jaime and I are bringing you coverage of two episodes this week to make up for it! Since it was a 2-part story it just seemed to make sense, and Jaime was really eager to get these over with because they are her least favorite of the entire series.
And listen, I'm not going to lie to you. I was relieved to hear her say that because frankly I didn't love these. Not that they were as bad as I think Jaime feared I would find them, but more because there were distracting, niggling questions that bothered me, and things that seemed so strange (not just talking about fake pig aliens, either) that I couldn't talk them through with her on the show, either.
But I did like that Rose's people are in on the secret now, because that makes everything more interesting, and this has also set up earth as a place where people know aliens exist, which changes a whole lot about what is possible there in terms of story. I will be very interested to see where that part of the show winds up going, if anywhere.
I hope you all enjoy the show, and we will see you next week!

Doctor Who, S01E03- The Unquiet Dead Oct 11, 2018

Greetings, lovelies! I'm here with what's technically the first TRULY unspoiled episode of Doctor Who, because this is the first one that I hadn't already watched all those years ago. So this is fun, because rather than the future, which is really more of what comes to mind when I think about this show (aesthetically) we are going into the past!
Now this episode was actually a lot of fun, but even considering that, there are rather a lot of plot holes that I ask about which Jaime seems to not have thought of. I'm wondering if I'm the only one to consider these things, or have any of you out there wondered about them too? I'm sure the nature of UNspoiled! and the way I have to analyze things for the podcast doesn't exactly help with a show that wasn't intended to be broken down like this. But NEVERTHELESS!
I'm always a fan of smug assholes falling for a setup, and I get that in spades here, but unfortunately it's an innocent woman who pays the price for the Doctor's thoughtless impulsiveness in allowing a bunch of unknown beings to cross over to our world. Ah, well. At least the shitty undertaker is dead!
Thanks so much for listening, and be sure to leave a review on iTunes if you get the chance!

Doctor Who, S01E02- The End Of The World Oct 04, 2018

Hiya, folks! It's time for that episode where a flat lady from the future arranges a hostage situation during the scheduled destruction of planet Earth. You remember that one?
I prefer to remember this as the one where a hot tree lady hits on the Doctor, and then Rose tells them to go off and pollinate. Heh.
So yeah I'm going to let this episode speak for itself, and I hope you enjoy!

My dear listeners, it is time for the series I never thought would happen. It's time for the inaugural episode of UNspoiled! Doctor Who.
Many thanks again to Jaime for agreeing to cohost this series with me, as she's a massive Whovian and will have to tolerate grumpiness from someone who, as of this moment, is decidedly not. But I'm willing to have my mind changed! I am already feeling very differently about this episode than I did when I first saw it almost a decade ago.
Thank you to all the listeners who encouraged coverage of this series, as well. Your voices were heard, and I hope I do not disappoint you.
Enjoy the show!
