Have you ever met a kind hearted Ogron?

I’m imagining this as a sort of kids story in the Doctor Who universe for Time Lord children. They sit down because the Ogrons are some sort of myth, and then there’s a very nice Ogron who breaks away from society to be better than everyone else. I’m tearing up just at the thought of it.

Now hang on hear me out on this…

Did you know the office where we record these episodes is right next to a train track? We usually luck out, it’s pretty rare that a train will pass while we record. It was more common when we recorded Zenith and TYD back to back, but it’s pretty rare now. Which I only mention because if there was ever a single episode, one single episode, that would have been pretty funny if the train actually did drive by on, it would have been this one. And you know, weirdly enough, it didn’t. It’s Mummy on the Orient Express, written by Jamie Mathieson and aired on October 11, 2014

I’m kind of surprised the US only sent up 100 nukes. That’s like 0.0001% of their arsenal.

In the continuing saga of “What the hell even is British English” I’ve gone and found out that a caretaker actually is a janitor. In fact, the dictionary explicitly lists “janitor” as a synonym for “caretaker.” Although I will refrain from mentioning what dictionary I used, for fear of drawing ire from the few english majors who listen.

Honestly I still want to know why the Trade Federation cheaped out on making more.

I actually just realized, right now, while typing this summary, that I don’t know what a caretaker is. Based on this episode I always assumed it was like, the UK version of a janitor, which is what we’ve got over here in the colonies. But maybe it’s more specialized. More research is required… stay tuned. It’s The Caretaker, written by Gareth Roberts and Steven Moffat and aired on September 27, 2014

Reduce, reuse, recycle those braincells.

If Trust Your Doctor was committing a heist, what would we be stealing? I would have to imagine it would be something incredibly pointless, just to say that we could. Something like a 2×4 piece of wood from the local lumber yard. Those places have major security! This is would have to be the greatest heist of all time.

Well this is the worst disco I’ve ever been to!

Have you ever been to an upmarket restaurant? I have, twice, to this very upscale very fancy Mexican place. Anyway that’s not related to the fact that I was going to ask, how much of a pain do you think it is to work there? You get all these rich people coming in, acting all entitled because they’re paying so damn much for the food. People like Danny and Clara. Who once again you have to wonder where they got the money for this dinner. It’s Listen, written by Steven Moffat and aired on September 13, 2014

All gather around as Sir Robin shoots this Apple off my head.

We use an Apple laptop to record this podcast, did you know that? Other podcast have fancy desktop systems, but what we lack in CPU power we gain in portability. We could literally record anywhere. In fact we’ve had semiserious discussions about recording this podcast in a car. Like an actual moving motor vehicle. Stay tuned.

It is.

We need to look inside ourself this week. Like deep inside, to the parts ourselves that we never show to the light. Where the cobwebs are. Where my little spider friend Steve lives, killing any flies that make their way in. Hey Steve, hope you’ve been having a good time in there. Nice cobwebs!

The fourth sequel to the Step Up series.

I was really hoping that this would be episode 250 but none of the numbering worked out for it to be so. I guess episode 250 is just awkwardly going to be the second episode of this season, which would probably bother some people but I’m pretty unconcerned. I’m bummer, to be sure, but nothing more than that. It’s Deep Breath, written by Steven Moffat and aired on August 23, 2014.

Well bloody hell I have nothing witty to say about 11.

I really genuinely thought that for a while Deep Breath would be Episode 250 of the podcast. Of course, I had forgotten at the time that we don’t number retrospectives, and hence this episode wasn’t going to be Episode 249. Which means that Episode 250 won’t actually fall on any sort of important episode, but is instead going to fall on the random Into the Dalek episode. Honestly really bummed about that but I can’t do anything about it at this point.
