In this episode we review the Third Doctor story The Ambassadors of Death and have a discussion about the Twelfth Doctor.

In our review of The Ambassadors of Death, we talk about how this story shows human space exploration. What did we think of Liz Shaw's role in the story and the relationship she has with the Doctor? Who were the real antagonists in this story? Did this story really need seven parts?

In our discussion, we look back at the Twelfth Doctor, and how he has changed over his three series. What did we like and dislike about his characterization? What did we think of his relationships with his companions? Do we think he lived up to his final instruction to be kind?

In this episode, we review the Ninth Doctor story Boom Town and the Torchwood story Captain Jack Harkness.

In our review of Boom Town, we discuss this often overlooked story. What did we think of the return of the Slitheen? Do we think the story did a good job handling the moral issues it raised? Did the contrasting tones of the story work for us?

For our Captain Jack Harkness review, we discuss the team dynamic, and what happens during this time of a power vacuum. What does the caretaker want, and how do we interpret his actions? How someone's complicated history is related to the people that surround them, and how Jack handed a very public coming out situation.

In this episode, we review the Fourth Doctor story The Ribos Operation, and discuss cosplay.

In our review of The Ribos Operation, we see the beginning of the Key to Time story arc. What did we think of the introduction of the introduction of Romana 1, and her relationship to the 4th Doctor? How do the local politics feed into the multiple cons going on, and where do we see the gray in the Black and White Guardians?

In our discussion we talk about the degrees of cosplay, the Cosplay is not Consent concept, cross-play and the differences between cosplay, drag and LARP. What is our personal history with cosplay, and and what do we hope for for the next generation of cosplay now that we have a female Doctor?

In this episode, we review the Seventh Doctor story The Curse of Fenric, and have a discussion about the representation of physical disability in Doctor Who.

In our review of The Curse of Fenric, we try to figure out just what happened in this story. What did we think of the relationship between Ace and the Doctor? Does this version of Doctor Who vampires work for us?

In our discussion, we examine the representation of physical disability in Doctor Who, and in media more generally. What are some examples of good representation, and where do things go wrong?
