Ep. 022 The Women Who Waited Mar 05, 2019

Show notes

In a show that features time travel, the concept of age could be completely meaningless. So when and how does the show make it meaningful?

Show notes

The Doctor is back and so are we! The first female Doctor is no small thing, so we got together to experience our new TARDIS team in person! We laughed, we cried, we grumbled (a little), we ate pizza, we clapped–and then of course talked about it all afterwards. And keep an ear out for […]

Ep. 016 Captain Jack: Sex Jesus Sep 01, 2018

Show notes

Ah, Captain Jack Harkness, arguably the sexiest part of “Doctor Who”, the one who swaggered into the Whoniverse and changed it irrevocably.
