Doctor Who: The Whovian Review

Feed me, Seymour! Gran was right: television is sucking the brains out of you! Now there is no power on this Earth (not parallel Earth?) that will stop the Doctor from finding Rose's face and a Betamax tape. Join Shelby, Michael, Colin and Jase as we discuss this voracious episode.

Y'all want some upgrades? The Cybermen have risen. Now is the Age of Steel. Is Rose unknowingly seducing her non-father? Did emotions blow the cybermen's minds? Was the second part worth its weight? We discuss all these, and the overwhelming takeaway: Mikey to Ricky. Zero to Hero. An arc is completed and a parallel universe is closed forever (Maybe).

Life is hard when you learn you're a dog. Life is hard when you learn you're a robot. Life is hard when the first letter of your name changes. We jump into a parallel universe with a president of Great Britain, Pete Tyler alive, and Kelsey wondering if the TARDIS is a future high-tech cyberman. We check out the parallels between this world and the original world we've grown to love. Get your blimp on! We give our opinion on whether or not this new Earth works out for our companions.

There's a lot of "pomp" and circumstance in this one. A spaceship from the 51st century stalks a king's mistress from the 18th century, but it blends in by disguising itself as the terrifying clowns of nightmares! This episode runs like clockwork, a cohesive story with great acting and surprisingly limited plot holes. But how was the music? We will let the listeners decide.

Out with the Kelsey and in with the Jase. Back in time to 2012, aka Rose's future. The Isolus takes over young Chloe and starts kid- and cat-knapping everyone around her. Rose is competent, but is our podcast? Let the listeners decide!
(Kelsey will be back next week!)

Out with the werewolves, in with the vampires. The Doctor, Rose, Mickey, Sarah Jane and K-9 all go back to school. Kenny saves the day and successfully blows up the school in a mysterious manner. This episode leaves Kelsey jonesing for oil and souring on the Doctor's benevolence.

1979, I mean 1879... The doctor once again fails to get out of the UK as he travels back to 19th century Scotland for a rendezvous with Queen Victoria. This fun romp features a classic werewolf encounter with limited sci-fi explanation. Shelby is not amused.

If you replace every part of an umbrella over time, is it still the same umbrella? Are Auntie and Uncle still the same people who were stranded on House, the sentient asteroid? Will Kelsey ever get over her hatred of Amy enough to pay attention to the rest of the episode? Our podcast team is back (virtually) in this time of peril to bring you our review of the episode that takes us into the very soul of the TARDIS herself!

Well, where to start? Bescot dies while trying to give the others a chance to escape the Cybermen onslaught. Graham and Yaz decide to try on Cyber suits for a new fashion statement that will help them escape, while the Doctor is dragged into the Matrix, and no, not that one. The Master gets crazier while Kelsey's eye rolls become more prominent. Graham says some beautiful words to Yaz while Shelby's heart melts. Colin enjoys some much needed plot holes, and Michael can't explain some of the time-y wimeyness of this episode. Enjoy.

Yaz and Graham step up their game on a rackety old spaceship that is breaking down in the middle of a Cyberman war zone. The Doctor, Ryan, and Ethan run straight into the Master while fleeing the Cybermen in a Cybership. And Brendan grows up in a seemingly Irish countryside as a police officer and cannot die after falling off a cliff?! The relationship between these two stories has not been reveled, however, we give it our best in determining the outcome of these mysteries! And yet the name Earthshock springs to mind!
