Truly, the greatest Doctor Who story of all time.

There’s been a lot of Christmas on the mind recently. There’s even a Christmas scene in The Pilot, so that’s like three weeks worth of Christmas for us, which is quite overwhelming if we’re completely honest. But hey, at least no more for another three months. It’s The Return of Doctor Mysterio, written by Steven Moffat and aired on December 25, 2016.

Have you seen Johnny though? He looks like he’s always in Wonderland.

I’ll be honest, I probably won’t even have one husband in my life. So to hear that River has like, 3 at least, and really 15 if you count all 13 incarnations of the Doctor as different people is really impressive to me. I wonder if they all get along with each other. Pretty sure at least two incarnations of the Doctor don’t. It’s The Husbands of River Song, written by Steven Moffat and aired on December 25, 2015.

And here we see the rare true to life story about how someone makes it into Heaven. Simply find the nearest 25 foot thick diamond wall and spend the rest of eternity punching your way through it. It’s that simple! It’s Heaven Sent and Hell Bent, written by Steven Moffat and aired on November 28, and December 5, 2015.

As opposed to a map show from literally any other country on Earth.

Recently I’ve actually become a bit attached to the crows in my neighborhood. I’ll be moving soon and I’m actually a little sad you know? The crows here just have such friendly personalities I’m going to really miss them. On the flip side, I’ve never actually met a raven, so if you’ve got one you want to share you know where I am. Actually no you don’t, but the point stands. It’s Face the Raven, written by Sarah Dollard  and aired on November 21, 2015.

Coming soon to Trust Your Doctor?

I purchased my Morpheus system from 3P Enterprises, and it was delivered in quick time. This is the only good thing I can say about the system. Within one month of purchase I’ve started to hear the Morpheus song, even when I’m in my personal sensory deprivation tank. Two months in and I’ve started to notice monsters in the corner of my eyes. My hands are starting to look and more like lobster claws. My significant other has turned into an orchid. 0/10 would not recommend for skipping sleep, although 10/10 replacement for hallucinogenics. It’s Sleep No More, written by Mark Gatiss and aired on  November 14, 2015.

Society needs to end.

Ok let’s take a moment to consider how weird it would be to have a Zygon procreate with a human. Does that create some sort of Zygon-human hybrid? And if they are can they shape shift, do they still have that ability? Or maybe they can’t but if they can’t then what differentiates them from regular humans? This is hurting my head. It’s The Zygon Invasion & The Zygon Inversion, written by Peter Harness & Steven Moffat and aired on October 31 and November 7, 2015.

I’m pretty sure we’ve had a really similar title to this before.

I remember when this episode title was announced a lot of people were convinced that Amy was going to be in this. Because the title bore some superficial resemblance to the Girl Who Waited. Looking at it now that’s kind of a completely baffling assumption, but you know I see where it comes from. It’s The Girl Who Died & The Woman Who Lived, written by Jamie Mathieson, Steven Moffat and Catherine Tregenna and aired on October 17 and 24, 2015.

I need one of those pictures that shows the faces of people on different drugs with one for memes.

I’m disconcerted by the pace at which we’re speeding through this season, if I’m being honest. It feels like my life is wizzing past my eyes as I die. It reminds me a lot of season 7, which we did in 4 weeks even though the season itself would have aired over something like 12. Or probably, more, if I’m being honestly I’m not actually sure how long it would have take because I can’t remember if they were airing two episodes a week or one at that point in the show’s history. It’s Under the Lake & Before the Flood, written by Toby Whithouse  and aired on October 3 and 10, 2015.

Everything is a throwback, nothing is original.

What better time to completely revamp the format for the podcast than a moment in the show when absolutely nothing changed in the show? It makes total and complete sense to me, I’m actually not being facetious right now at all. Less things that the audience has to adjust to, you know? It’s The Magician’s Apprentice & The Witch’s Familiar, written by Steven Moffat and aired on September 19 and 26, 2015.

Now for the Trust Your Doctor Code. Five words: The Rock is The Doctor.

For once we can say we have a special “Christmas in July” episode of Trust Your Doctor. Because by some weird coincidence this goes out right near the end of July. Not quite on the 25th, or in the middle either, but it’s close enough. Is this the closest that Doctor Who has ever come to a Christmas in July? I’d like to think so and because of that I’m claiming the first for Trust Your Doctor. It’s Last Christmas, written by Steven Moffat and aired on December 25, 2014.
