SO MUCH HAPPENS in this episode, Talia embraces and Lucia rejects magic in science fiction, Doctor Who somehow gets us to cry over Daleks of all things, the Adam makes his debut (but is he really the Adam in the room?) and we constantly ask the question WHY WON’T PEOPLE LISTEN TO THE DOCTOR AND RUN!?
It’s a double feature episode! Today we’re talking about both ALIENS OF LONDON and WORLD WAR THREE. Talia & Lucia dig into some heavy topics as they discuss fatphobia, Rose’s communication issues, the Doctor’s problems with domesticity, and whether Davros had a point.
It’s time for THE UNQUIET DEAD and boy! Do we have a lot to talk about. Sneed is the worst, Gwenyth deserves better, and Rose really needs to get off her high horse (and find a more suitable dress!)
Doctor Who has come a long way since 2005. A large part of getting to where you are is remembering where you have been, which was one of the main reasons why Lucia and I wanted to start this podcast at what is (for many people) the beginning of their experience with Doctor Who.
It’s THE END OF THE WORLD and the Doctor has TRAUMA so let’s strap in and get to talking about all the things that went horribly wrong and what things went just right. Talia gets emotional, Lucia loses it over the science, neither of them cares for all the isms, it’s a rough ride of an episode, but we make it through!
Wherein Talia and Lucia discuss ROSE the pilot episode for the 2005 revival of the BBC flagship show DOCTOR WHO. Read on for all of our hot takes and thoughtful critiques as we tear Doctor Who apart and wax poetic about its beauty in equal measure.
