The Doctor's Companions Ep. 33: You Leave the Brakes On

Tish, Juliana, and Linda talk about Season 5, Episode 4 “The Time of Angels” and Episode 5 “Flesh and Stone”. We struggle to understand all the new Weeping Angel rules and try to keep track of all the foreshadowing. And we start another new drinking game; every time Tish says she loves River Song.

The Doctor's Companions Ep. 32: You Do Not Require Tea

Tish, Juliana, and Linda talk about Season 5, Episode 2 “The Beast Below” and Episode 3 “Victory of the Daleks”. We've got two things The Doctor just can't stay away from; the Queen of England and the Daleks. After we get bluntly hit in the face repeatedly with the parallels between the star whale and The Doctor, we wonder how the little gooey Daleks built themselves new candy-coated tanks. And don't forget to zoom in on the cracks, so we don't miss them.

In the Movies Ep. 22: Spirited Away & Miyazaki's Female Heroes

The Doctor's Companions Ep. 30: The Doctor Who Movie

Tish, Juliana, and Linda talk about the terrible, made-for-TV, so-90's-it-hurts Doctor Who movie. We have questions from the first line spoken, and they only get more ridiculous as the movie goes on. What actually is the Eye of Harmony? Is The Doctor half human? Why do his two hearts show up on an x-ray? Why does he kiss Ryan Atwood's mom? We prescribe a large amount of alcohol to help you take in this movie.

We asked you: 

If you could be the companion in any #DoctorWho episode, what episode would you choose?

The Doctor's Companions Ep. 29: The End of Time Parts One & Two

Tish, Juliana, and Linda talk about The End of Time: Part One and The End of Time: Part Two. It's an emotional roller coaster of a finale. There's so much sorrow and fear, but also laughter and joy. There's a lot of confusion as we get through the chaos that is The Master, Gallifrey, Wilf, Donna, The Doctor, green porcupines, and weirdly horny father-daughter team... And before we can truly mourn the loss of our beloved Ten, we can't help but talk about all that is to come with Eleven and Moffat at the helm.

We asked you:

Would you rather be The Doctor (a Timelord) or The Doctor’s companion?

The Doctor's Companions Ep. 28: The Specials

It's the beginning of the end! This week we tackle those three specials that Tennant did after season 4, to have some more adventures before the real big finale. (Hold back you tears, we'll get to that later.) 

We continue the Marvel & DC theme to my content and answer the question of which Marvel or DC character we'd like to see pair up with The Doctor, with some answers that have us wishing for some crossover comics!

We love two out of three of the episodes, so that's pretty good odds! We get through our least favorite Christmas special so we can talk about our favorite coulda/shoulda-been-companion, Lady Christina de Souza, and finish up with the creepy water infestation on Mars, where The Doctor loses his damn mind! We track The Doctor's descent into madness throughout these episodes to prepare ourselves for the big finale.
