Two-minute Time Lord: A Doctor Who Podcast

For a change, I'm not reserving judgment on a story until its conclusion airs. I'm praising a story because it's not finished yet.

I really enjoyed "Before the Flood"–except for one thing that seems to be coming dangerously close to a trend in Doctor Who. And in this episode, as the Radio Times revealed, it was no accident.

Far beyond wishing everyone at home a Merry Christmas, Toby Whithouse's "Before the Flood" opens with the show's most Fourth Wall-breaking moment yet, revealing once again how subversive the Moffat Era really is.

Archetype, trope or formula? As we return to the "base under siege" style of Doctor Who storytelling, does writer Toby Whithouse do something fresh with it? And is it time for a serious talk about Clara?

The universes are collapsing: Reality Bomb has invaded 2MTL to explore just what happened when the BBC made its much-hyped-on-social-media announcement about the new Doctor Who spinoff, Class. Written by Graeme Burk; performed by Graeme Burk, Chip Sudderth, Bill Evenson and Kim Rogers; lovingly balanced and tweaked by Alex Kennard.

Why do fans who don't like what's happening in Doctor Who keep watching?

An acting tour de force for three of our four lead actors, but I don't know what to make of the Poo Daleks…

Our Series 9 reviews begin with a confession, a pre-credits turnaround, a comparison to "The End of Time" (That'll enrage my friends at Radio Free Skaro!), and a bit of bet-hedging!

The Titan Comics summer Doctor Who event, Four Doctors, is not only a rousing adventure tale, but also an insightful look at what happens when the Doctor is forced to face…himself.

Graeme Burk and Robert Smith? (his question mark is canon) are back to talk about The Doctors are In from ECW Press, their exhaustive yet reader-friendly guide to each of the Doctors' incarnations. Once in a while, they even agree with each other.

It's time for a post-Sasquan look at the 2015 Hugo Awards and Doctor Who's place in them…

OK, so that was a great second trailer for Series 9, with loads and loads of Daleks. Except for those guys introduced in "Victory of the Daleks." Alas, the New Paradigm.

It's been a couple weeks of highs (Doctor Who) and lows (politics) for the BBC. Last time I dwelled on the lows. Let's turn it around this time.

Should the BBC give up on popular commercial programming like, oh, I don't know, Doctor Who? A "green paper" to be released today reportedly calls for reconsidering the British Broadcasting Corporation's purpose, while the government plans to force the BBC to dig deep into its own pockets to fund license fees for citizens over [...]

The Doctor and companions were threatened with maximum deletion last time, which I suppose is worse than simple deletion. I bet the Doctor had a clever way out of this one that had absolutely no deus ex machina involved, right? Well, at least "The Age of Steel" is a cool name.

If you were a classic fan who was on Team Cyberman rather than Team Dalek, this episode was long overdue. But was "Rise of the Cybermen" a proper re-introduction of the classic villains? Or were there too many stompy missteps out of the gate?

2MTL comes out of a weeks-long retirement at a time when it would appear it would be easy enough to bring back the Third Doctor…

Why would a man-child geek culture hound, who has immersed himself in your Star Treks and Star Wars and Jason of Star Commands as a child, dreaming of being those characters and living in those worlds, become obsessed to the point of podcasting about a character, the Doctor, whom he absolutely cannot imagine being? Asking for [...]

It was big news, even for Big Finish: Torchwood and Captain Jack Harkness are back. The producers are holding their cards close, so you know what that means: rampant speculation and bucket-listing from your humble host!

There was a time, you know. A time when Jack Harkness had never died. Let's go back to the time of the Forgotten Doctor, courtesy of Titan Comics.
