We have a super-sized episode centered around war-torn futures (oh boy!). Is the Doctor a soldier, and why does he seem to hate soldiers so much? When is violence justified? We tackle those questions and more as we discuss the brand new episode "Into The Dalek." Then in Part Two we put that episode in conversation with the 10th Doctor tearjerker "The Doctor’s Daughter" and the 11th Doctor adventure "The Time Of Angels" / "Flesh And Stone."

Caroline spent the weekend at Chicago Comic and got the chance to attend the Matt Smith and Karen Gillan reunion panel! She recaps the weekend and shares some highlights from the Matt and Karen event. Then Caroline and Alasdair share their thoughts on Doctor Who's eighth season premiere, “Deep Breath.” Does Peter Capaldi live up to our expectations? We also check in on the pilot episode of Karen Gillan's new show, Selfie. Then in Part Two we look at other episodes that center around introductions: “Rose” and “Smith And Jones.” Do these early episodes still hold up?

"Deep Breath" premieres on Saturday, so Caroline and Alasdair offer up a last-minute Season 8 preview! We collect the best quotes from the show’s cast and creators about the upcoming season and discuss the episode titles (spoiler free!). Then in part two, we look at the past two regeneration stories, “The Christmas Invasion” and “The Eleventh Hour.” They take very different approaches to introducing new Doctors and we weigh the pros and cons of each.
