Geeks on Doctor Who: The Girl in the Fireplace and some Cybermen

This week, and by this week I mean three weeks ago since Stephen was lazy and didn’t edit this show, we continue to travel through season 2 .. with Girl in the Fireplace and the two parter of Rise of the Cyberman and Age of Steel ..

Aric hates the girl in the fireplace, Janet falls in love with her, and Stephen just appreciates Madame de Pompadour’s personality but doesn’t think the storyline is scifi enough.

We talk about our likes and dislikes about Mickey .. our distate for the doctor’s disregard for Rose, and our assumed feelings that the Doctor is a bit of a drama queen, and the stupid name of the ship.

Next we go into in a parallel earth, and see what?! Zepplins .. Zepplins = parallel universe.

In the parallel universe we talk about how the Rickey/Mickey interaction just doesn’t work, how the cybermen are kind of a useless villain and how in a parallel universe Jackie is still an annoying bitch…

Until next week .. Don’t Blink!

Geeks on Doctor Who: First Part of Season 2 Recap

This week we dive into the second season of Doctor Who with a special guest, Brad Kohlenberg. We cover the first few episodes of Season 2, including The Christmas Invasion, New Earth, Tooth & Claw, School Reunion.

We talk about David Tennant semi-rocky start to being The Doctor, but how he eventually grows to be our favorite doctor, whether story arcs are created ahead of time or if they fall into place later, and how administrations deal with Alien threats.

Also, the audio on this one is a little annoying, so we apologize ahead of time.

Don’t Blink!

Geeks on Doctor Who : Father’s Day, Bad Wolf & the rest of Season 1

This week we wrap up Season 1 and talk mostly about Father’s Day, the over arching storyline of Bad Wolf and say goodbye to Christopher Eccleston.

Things get a little out of control, and the record scratching machine has to be brought out towards the end…

We discuss our love hate relationship with Season 1, Stephen hates on Jackie & wants to slap Anne Robinson while Aric declares his undying love of Capt. Jack Harkness, and his irritation at Janet & Stephen’s choice of TV viewing and Janet shakes her head at the madness that ensues.

Enjoy and until next week .. Don’t Blink

Geeks on Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol : Season 6 Christmas Special

It’s the return of Pandoricast! … again. This time Aric, Janet & Stephen get together to discuss the long awaited Christmas Special getting us revved up for the upcoming season 6.

This week we learn that Stephen hates Harry Potter, Aric hates Christmas and shockingly Janet still hate Matt Smith, but we all agree that we loved this episode!

We discuss the evolution of fish swimming in ponds, memories changing as time changes, the lack of Amy and Rory in this episode, and the emotional considerations of only having one more day to spend with the love of your life.

Stephen also attempts to melt Aric’s brain with a discussion of causality in temporal physics.

We also announce that Vini will no longer be regularly joining us on the show, but we look forward to her popping in as often as she can. She will still be handling the twitter and facebook accounts and will also be posting blog posts here occasionally!

Enjoy!
