E66 – BLT

This week, we watched series 8 episode 5, "Time Heist", an episode named after what two Stevens did to us when we watched it. We were very harsh on the episode this week! Not because we hated it, but because it was the right thing to do. This is a fairly enjoyable episode that deserves to be ripped to shreds. In other words, the perfect episode for us to watch for our podcast! Thanks, Stevens! Sam | Jordan Tumblr | Bluesky | Patreon | Discord | YouTube

At long last, we will discover the fate of Amy and Rory in series 7 episode 5, "The Angels Take Manhattan"! The angels won't be the only ones weeping after our favorite(?) couple fall into their haunted alien wood chipper! Hopefully our new friend Detective Melody Malone can help solve the mystery of why this episode was set in Manhattan when it features almost no locations, people, or anything identifiably New York! It almost makes you wonder if Steven just had an idea for a particular irrelevant set piece to put in the trailer and then stopped thinking about it!

Buzz, buzz, and things of that nature! This week on our funny numbereth episode (please ignore the part at the end where we both think this is episode 68) we watched series 4 episode 7, "The Unicorn and the Wasp"! It's somehow only our second Donna episode and we enjoy to see her. Agatha Christie is also here, which means this is an episode that accidentally implies that all famous writers are incapable of imagining things and just write about what happens when they meet the Doctor.

There's a new Doctor in town! This week, we're watching series 14 (I refuse to call it season 1) episode 2, "The Devil's Chord"! The Fifteenth Doctor and his new friend Ruby Sunday the Living Christmas Girl or Something are heading to 1963 to meet the Beatles. What will happen when their music sounds as bad as it does sometimes? How will they cope when they face their toughest foe yet: an actual American actor?

Thank god, finally another weird episode about pregnancy! It's series 11 episode 5, "The Tsuranga Conundrum", and... actually, is it about pregnancy? Is it about an extremist hospital in a bleak future? Is it about parenting? Is it about... Yaz? Definitely not that! This is one of those episodes where way too much is going on. Mostly it's about a guy named Durkas, and what would happen if someone was named Durkas. Sam | Jordan Cohost | Tumblr | Bluesky | Patreon | Discord | YouTube

This week, we're discussing series 5 episode 8, "The Hungry Earth"! One of us watched the episode a few weeks ago, and the other was distracted making a sandwich. Anyway, we're fairly sure that we know what happens in this episode. The Doctor declares war on everyone's wives and throws them all into a hole in the ground. Meanwhile, the Silurians debut their new sexual faces! Sam | Jordan Cohost | Tumblr | Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube

We'd been feeling a little lost in Flux, but thankfully this week we're watching series 13 episode 1, "The Halloween Apocalypse"! This is where it all began, so we'll finally have all the context we've been missing. Just who are Swarm and Azure Ravagers? Does a mysterious Hat Man live on Mars, or in Liverpool? How many Sontarans does it take to control a sector? Is Bel the Doctor's mom or whatever? Thankfully, at least one of these questions is finally answered. For the others, we'll get them next time I'm sure! Sam | Jordan Cohost | Tumblr | Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube

At long last, we're getting an answer to a question that goes all the way back to our second episode: "who is the eyepatch lady?" As it turns out, she's a woman with an eyepatch-looking thing! This is basically the only thing we learned from series 6 episode 7, "A Good Man Goes to War"! Other than that, it's mostly a lot of words spoken by the man who speaks the words of the writer who writes... for they say that when the speaking man speaks the words written by the writer who writes, the speaker becomes the speakest.

Join us once again in the land of headcrabs and Santa as we discuss series 9 episode 1, "The Magician's Apprentice"! It's one of Steven's famous Words Episodes, and the Doctor is barely in it. It's mainly about Clara going on a field trip with Missy and what would that be like? They still haven't confirmed that this is a headcrab dream but it definitely is. You're not tricking us, Steven!

We're back with the most gruesome, spine-chilling ghost episode of all time, series 12 episode 8, "The Haunting of Villa Diodati"! In multiple ways, this is an episode about spreading misinformation about the writing of Frankenstein. Who did it better, Maxine Alderton or Jordan? Please don't @ us. Forget about these writers though, the real star of the show this week is our imaginary version of Graham! What an absolute belter! Sam | Jordan Cohost | Tumblr | Twitter | Patreon | Discord | YouTube
