In this week’s episode we finally get to review the last episode of the season for Doctor Who, The Name of the Doctor. We’ll talk about the epic ending to Series 7b.
But first, step away from the world of Doctor Who and review the new film, Star Trek Into Darkness. Mind the spoiler above if you haven’t seen it. Then we take a look at the Star Trek/Doctor Who comic crossover, Assimilation 2.
Finalizing the schedule for this next chunk still took some doing, so without further ado…
Friday Night Who on 5/17 features Sylvester McCoy in “Remembrance Of The Daleks”.
With the release of STAR TREK: INTO DARKNESS this week, Shaun gives us another side trip into that universe, “Star Trek 102 – The Movies”.
Then on episode #125 of Traveling The Vortex we’ll discuss IDW Comic’s Star Trek/Doctor Who cross over “Assimilation 2″, and the final episode of series 7, “The Name Of The Doctor”.
FNW on 5/24 is “Robot” with Tom Baker.
TTV #126 is all fourth Doctor, as we discuss BBC America’s Doctor Who Revisited 4, Big Finish and Audio Go’s “Destiny Of The Doctor 4″, and have our 50th Anniversary Discussion covering the fourth Doctor Era.
On 5/31, FNW will feature Christopher Eccleston in “The End Of The World”.
We return to the divergent universe with Paul McGann for TTV #127, discussing Big Finish main line episodes #61 “Faith Stealer” and #62 “The Last”.
FNW 6/7 is Peri’s origin as told in “Planet Of Fire” with Peter Davison.
Traveling The Vortex #128 has our reviews of “Planet Of Fire” and Big Finish #24, “The Eye Of The Scorpion”.
Release on DVD here in North America on June 11 is “Inferno” with Jon Pertwee, so we’ll cover it for Friday Night Who on 6/14. (At least the first four parts, anyway.)
Our show that week (TTV #129) will be a fifth Doctor discussion, covering IDWs “Prisoners Of Time 5″, Doctor Who Revisited 5 and Big Finish/Audio Go’s “Destiny Of The Doctor 5″.
We conclude “Inferno” parts 5-7 for FNW on 6/21.
and episode #130 covers “Inferno” and wraps up our 5th Doctor celebration with our 50th Anniversary Discussion of his era.
In this week’s episode, we take a look at the classic story, Revenge of the Cybermen, featuring the Fourth Doctor, Harry, and Sarah Jane. Then the penultimate epsiode as the countdown to the end of Series 7 winds to a close, with our review of Nightmare in Silver.
Also, some spoiler cautions for our fans as we talk about the huge blunder that was made with preorder copies of Series 7B in Blu ray.
We will look at the rest of the news this week, and of course, your feedback.
Join us tonight as we celebrate in anticipation to tomorrow’s episode “Nightmare In Silver” as we watch “Revenge of the Cybermen” for Friday Night Who!
We press play on the Fourth Doctor, Sarah Jane & Harry Sullivan adventure at Midnight CDT.
