First Time Lord

Let's jump in, feet first, and tackle the themes of this week's episode. From a physical manifestation to the idea of Satan, we have a lot to deal with here. On top of it, we have to grapple with the possibility that either the Doctor or Rose may not make it out of this adventure unscathed.

Series 2 - Episode 9 - Satan Pit

Jon Soble comes back to help me understand what the heck is happening. (Get it, heck, because of Satan…)

This week’s episode is the textbook definition of a Sci-Fi adventure: space base, inhospitable environments, and an unknown threat coming from below. This episode made my nerd senses tingle with excitement and recognition. There were so many things that made me nostalgic for great Sci-Fi movies of the past.

Series 2, Episode 8 - Impossible Planet

To navigate the impossibilities of this episode, I tried to wrangle the impossible expert. In the end, I was only able to get Jon Soble because of the gravity cone, but he’s ready because he consumed his impossible cereal.

If you could travel thru time and space, why wouldn't you take an opportunity to watch Elvis Presley sing on live television? Of course, you would. But alas, the Tardis doesn't always agree with the Doctor's preferred destination. Thus the Tardis drops the Doctor off in a typical British suburb just in time to watch the Queen's coronation. But nothing is ever that simple with the Doctor.

Series 2, Episode 7 - Idiot's Lantern.

To help me make sense of this history-rich episode, I welcome back the deeply knowledgeable Ashley Martin.

We continue the adventure from last week as the Doctor, Rose, and Mickey deal with this alternate universe's Cybermen. This week's conversation will get very nerdy, contrasting, and comparing many of Doctor Who's mythos and how they relate to other science fiction stories. An entertaining discussion, if I do say so myself.

Series 2 - Episode 6 - Age of Steel.

To continue the conversation started by last week's episode, Eric Sweetman joins me to wrap up this intense, alternate universe adventure.

In Series 1, episode 6, Dalek, the Doctor sees a Cybermen head, describing it as the "stuff of nightmares." It meant little to a novice like me; it was just a threat of days past now rendered inert. But as I've learned, nothing in the Doctor's past stays there for long. There's a lot to unpack in the episode, and I have some nerdy questions.

Series 2, Episode 5, Rise of the Cybermen.

My questions will need a wordy Whovian to answer them, so I enrolled the very competent Eric Sweetman to help guide me through this intense adventure.

Going into this episode, I thought it would be about a character we've encountered in Series 1. Still, as seems to be the case with Doctor Who, just when I think I know where it's going, it goes in a completely unforeseen direction. I wanted Mickey's first adventure to be an epic episode, and I was not disappointed, even if Mickey didn't figure very prominently.

Series 2, Episode 4 The Girl in the Fireplace.

To chat about this great adventure, I enrolled the great Jon Soble. Join us for a great chat about a surprisingly deep chapter of the Doctor's adventures.

There's a chance that this may be my favorite episode of the podcast. I get to have a great conversation with the lovely Ashley Martin about the Doctor's latest adventure, and I talk about Highlander. I learn so much about the Doctor's past companion and get introduced to a spinoff I didn't see coming. So much fun to be had. What a tremendous episode this is.

Series 2 - Episode 3 - School Reunion.

As I mentioned, I am joined by the profoundly knowledgeable Ashley Martin, who has her work cut out to catch me up to speed with all of the backstories introduced in this week's episode.

This week's installment of Doctor Who feels like a monster of the week episode, and I LOVE it. The 10th Doctor continues his adventures with Companion Rose, and this adventure lands them in Scotland, where they have to solve a mystery and battle with a Werewolf. How am I to resist the likes of a show like this?

Season 2, Episode 2 - Tooth and Claw.

To help me keep the Werewolf at bay, I enrolled a new guest for this week. An expert in martial arts, and a nerd of many fandoms, Ian Sweetman, joins me to direct this fun episode.

Let’s go further than we’ve ever gone. Talk about upgraded budgets! We kick off the new season with a bang. An episode with returning villains, new threats looming on the horizon, and oh yeah, the Face of Bow, I am left with many tricky questions. The 10th Doctor gets things going with style, and I’m honestly ready for the fun.

Season 2, Episode 1 - New Earth.

Assisting me with some interesting questions and clarifying some of the less obvious things is Eric Sweetman.

As we celebrate Thanksgiving this week in the U.S., why not take a moment and celebrate the kick-off of the Christmas season with my very first Doctor Who Christmas Special. In essence, a relaunch with the 10th Doctor’s first full episode appearance. I hesitantly go into this new adventure, figuring out how I will respond to my first regeneration. Will I be able to look at David Tennant as the Doctor?

Season 1 - Episode 14 - The Christmas Invasion.

To help me make sense of this first chapter in a new Doctor, I bring in two experts, Jon Soble and Eric Sweetman. Listen in as they answer a bunch of nerdy questions.
