Geeks on Doctor Who : The Companions and Goodbye to Sarah Jane

Early Tuesday morning, April 19, 2011, whovian fans were saddened to hear that Elisabeth Sladen lost her battle with cancer, and passed away. We wanted to take an episode and pay homage not only to Elisabeth Salden and Sarah Jane Smith but to all of the companions of the Doctor. Well, at least the Companions that we can remember. ;)

Janet is in France, so we have a special guest joining us all the way from Australia, David Bryden. You can follow David on twitter over at twitter.com/DaveBinM .

This Saturday we will be watching the premier of Season 6, and immediately following will be recording, and possibly live streaming, an episode of Pandoricast with a very special guest Tom Merritt .. whom you can also follow on twitter over at twitter.com/acedtect

Until next week, Don’t Blink!

Sarah Jane Smith: No. The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. Whether it’s a world, or a relationship… Everything has its time. And everything ends.

Goodbye and Godspeed Elisabeth Sladen, we will all miss you!

Geeks on Doctor Who : Army of Ghosts & Doomsday and a farewell to Rose

This week, Vinita joins us to complete the final two heart wrenching episodes of Season 2 .. Army of Ghosts and Doomsday, and say goodbye to Rose.

We toss out some pretty wild speculation about story arcs going from here to season 5, doctors in multiple universes and talk about how concepts in Sci-Fi routinely cross streams.

We determine that Aric is cold and dead inside, that Jackie is better with alternate universe Pete, and the time spent on the other side has done wonders for Mickie.

We continue to be excited for the premier of Season 6, and decide that next week we may just spend sometime talking about Torchwood while we wait.

Enjoy and until next week, Don’t Blink!

Geeks on Doctor Who :

This week we have a special guest from New Brew Thursday, Brad Kohlenberg, and we dive into Love & Monsters, Fear Her, and an excited, sometime heated, discussion of the season 6 trailer recently released.

Stephen discusses his “meh” viewpoint about the Olympics while everyone else basically says he’s crazy. Janet explains the concept of “Doctor Lite” episodes and why she’s not really a fan, except for Blink. Brad brings the knowledge of the Ood and Aric & Stephen realize they drank the kool-aid.

Enjoy and until next week, don’t Blink!

Geeks on Doctor Who : The Idiot’s Lantern, The Ood and Satan

This week we get a preview recap from Aric about the Gallifrey One convention, before we decide to hold off until we could get all the whovians together to do a proper recap ..

We jump into The Idiot’s Lantern .. and talk about the wire, how the TARDIS just takes over sometime and puts the doctor where he needs to be to solve the universe’s problems.

We also revel in the complexity of Dr. Who episodes, and the fact that the writers clearly love Alfred Hitchcock as much as we do, and Aric becomes a contrarian just to be a contrarian …

We then go off into the two parter, The Impossible Planet & The Satan Pit, where we meet the Ood and Aric falls asleep, but not before making a Roots reference regarding LeVar Burton, then Stephen rants about religion in Sci-Fi.

Enjoy the show, and until next time, Don’t Blink!

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 : 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
