Terminus: A Doctor Who Podcast

Welcome to the newest episode of my 'Festive Flashback' series for the holidays! This time I'll be chatting about the first festive special of the Steven Moffat era,  'A Christmas Carol', from way back in Christmas 2010 – complete with a grumpy old miser, a girl in a fridge, Rory and Amy dressing up for Honeymoon shenanigans, a crashing space liner, some cute flying fish, and a joyous shark-led sleigh ride!

Welcome to the newest episode of my 'Festive Flashback' series for the holidays! This time I'll be chatting about 'The End of Time' (part one only), from way back in Christmas 2009 – which includes the beginnings of the 'death march' to regeneration for the Tenth Doctor, some bizarre shenanigans with the Master, Wilf being super adorable (as always), and really just some pretty odd side characters in a pretty odd story.

On this episode, after a little unexpected pandemic hiatus, I'm finally back again! And this time it's with a bonus episode featuring something that's a bit off the beaten path for my usual fare: a personal story-time episode of sorts! So, please join me as I fully recount the detailed story about how I got into Doctor Who in the first place -- way back in the dark ages of the 80s as a young geeky teenager! Given that my story has a lot of baby-queer-feels running throughout, I just thought that Pride month would be a great time to finally take the time to get the whole story recorded on my podcast – even though as I'm publishing this, admittedly I'm a few days late after Pride Month ended, all due to some technical issues. Oops! #mercuryretrogradewoes Anyway, grab some popcorn or other snacks and roll up for a big ol' nostalgia trip! Oh, and also please be sure to also stick around for the other stuff on the episode too! There's some administrative chat about the State of the Podcast (and your podcaster) at the beginning before the story, as well as some admittedly pretty disappointed feels about Series 12 afterward (which I kept thankfully short – as to not be too much of a squee-killer). There's also even a little un-cut audio squeeful mini-review bonus (that I did for the 'Discussing Who' podcast) for you to enjoy for some further funsies! All leaving a pretty interesting sandwich of content! And yeah, it's admittedly bit of an emotional roller coaster at times, with the highs of squees and the lows of discontent to navigate, but hopefully you'll all still enjoy it nonetheless! Strap in, it might be a bumpy ride! P.S. Also, there's a poll! I love a poll!

Every podcast has that one 'Cursed' Episode and this is mine. Whether it was technical issues, Life Issues, or perhaps even a bit of Mercury Retrograde at work, this episode has been a bit of a challenge to get out. Still, despite all the good, bad, and the ugly, I prevailed and my 'Spyfall' review is finally here for you guys! NOTE: I mention this at the top of the show, but I also wanted to mention here that this episode was actually recorded several weeks ago. So, because of that, some of what I had to say is a bit dated now that we've seen the finale. Still I sincerely hope that you give it a listen anyway, as I talk about MANY OTHER things as well – including my squee over the casting of one of my favorite actors Sacha Dhawan as the newest incarnation of the Master. So, anyway, yes, please join me as I rather belatedly talk (rather extensively) about my thoughts on 'Spyfall'. Hold on to your hats everyone and enjoy the ride!

So, this admittedly might not be the episode you were expecting from me right now – though I can assure you that me chatting about my 'Spyfall' feels is coming soon! HANG IN THERE!  But no, on this episode, instead I continue on with my journey through my 'Spark Joy' series – perhaps for the last time for quite a while? -- with a story I love muchly: 'The Girl in the Fireplace'!   Inside, you'll hear me going on and on for AGES (LONGEST. EPISODE. EVER?) -- all just full of squee and passion (I JUST LOVE THIS STORY, OK?!), with a side of (bleeped) cussing, some meta thoughts about things like polyamory and the nature of the Doctor/Companion relationship, tons and tons of frothing shippiness, and, admittedly, some not-so-nice feels about Rose Tyler thrown in here and there for good measure (sorry in advance!).  So, anyway, hold onto your hats, everyone, and enjoy the ride!

On this episode, I take a small unexpected little detour from my recent 'Spark Joy' series to share my reaction to and thinky thoughts about the new trailer for series 12, as well as some squee about the recent 56th Doctor Who Anniversary, and a wee bit of pondering about my tentative 2020 podcast schedule. It's a bit of an emotional roller coaster, admittedly, but hopefully it's all a good time!
