The Doctor is on trial for his life, and so he must proove that he is a better Time Lord by presenting evidence from events that have not even happened yet! Timey Wimey! Will Professor Lasky get the Doctor arrested? Will the security guard Rudge get his retirement? Will Shelby and Michael be able to retire from yet another plot line?

The Whovian Review's presentation of the Women of Doctor Who at Awesome Con 2019.
From 1963 through today, women have played a prominent role in Doctor Who. We will look at how the role of women has evolved throughout the history of the program: from shrieking damsels in distress to strong heroines and even to the Doctor herself. We will also discuss the importance that women have played in the show, including rescuing the Doctor, being rescued by the Doctor, and challenging the Doctor in times of crisis.

Amy's not dead. Well she is now, but she won't be. The Doctor is in the Pandorica, but he is also right here in front of Rory with a mop, a fez, and a screwdriver. Fez's are cool. River disagrees, and escapes the exploding TARDIS thanks to the time vortex manipulator, and Rory stands around for almost 2,000 years! Some may be confused, but "this is where it gets complicated."

So: When in Rome, the Romans turn into Autons, Rory is reincarnated as an Auton and although Amy does not remember him, she does. River is trapped in an exploding TARDIS after piloting it to Amy's childhood home, The Doctor is placed in a big box. The Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans, Silurians, and every other creature from the Doctor's past form an alliance, and somehow Vincent van Gough gets a painting to the Doctor through Liz 10, Winston Churchill, and River Songs hallucinogenic lipstick. And if that isn't enough, horses are taking plastic Roman soldiers into battle against all of the alien races, but an epic speech sends all of those alien's away. What a speech!

The Ultimate "Ginge" team of Vincent and Amy convince the Doctor to bring Vincent forward in time to confront his own collection of paintings, and a bow tied Bill Nighy who describes in exquisite detail how awesome Vincent van Gogh really is. The real question is can Bill Nighy's Dr. Black pronounce Vincent's last name correctly. Meanwhile Colin and Kelsey struggle with this same problem while Michael and Shelby gush over the artistic nature of this episode. If that's not enough, we even had a pile of bad things swept up off the floor.

Mayhem ensues when Malokeh attempts to dissect a very awake Amy, Mo tries to wake up his son, Ambrose believes torture by taser as an effective interview technique, and Tony may just as well sell his soul by allowing Alaya to escape. The Doctor faces negotiating techniques with the Silurians (again) and fails (again) when he gives up the negotiator role and hands it over to Amy and Nasreen. Will we be able to make sense of this episode or will our minds be erased from time and space for good?!
