Friday Night Who Schedule

Good afternoon class!  Thought I’d take a moment to post the line up for the next several Friday Night Who’s that we have coming up.  Obviously the big news this week is the premier (finally!) of Series Six.  We’ll obviously be reviewing those episodes, but we wanted to keep Friday Night Who going simultaneously as well, so we it upon this nugget of genius:

There are Seven (7) episodes of the new series in the first half.  There are seven (7) Doctors of old we can do stories from.  Hows that for a bit of Glenn’s favorite unpronouncable word;serendipity?  So each week we’ll split our podcast into reviewing the new Matt Smith episode for that week, along with an old classic.  We’re going to look primarily at stories that are “one offs” or would not in other ways be showcased in an upcoming companion or adversary archive.

So here’s what’s on tap:

This week: 4/22/11- William Hartnell, “The Aztecs”

4/29/11 – Patrick Troughton, “The Dominators”

5/6/11 – Jon Pertwee, “Carnival Of Monsters”

5/13/11 – Tom Baker, “The Deadly Assassin” – (and now that I realize this is a Friday the 13th, we may need to find a suitably “scary” episode instead!)

5/20/11 – Peter Davison, “Black Orchid”

5/27/11 – Colin Baker, TBD

6/3/11 – Sylvester McCoy, TBD

Our Colin and Sylv episodes are still being debated!  Feel free to weigh in on our facebook page, or through feedback here!

Doctor Who Countdown Meme

As we here at Traveling the Vortex count the days until the Series Six premiere, The Impossible Astronaut, other countdowns and celebrations are taking place all across the internet.

One in particular that I have been following is one of our regular listener’s blog, Chrissy, who is posting 30 Days of New Who.

Each day in the month of April, Chrissy chooses a topic, i.e. ‘Favorite Incarnation of the Doctor’, ‘Least Favorite Episode’, ‘Scene/Moment that makes you giggle’, etc., and comments about it on her blog.

Right now she is half way through, having posted today’s question, ‘Favorite Rose Moment’.

It’s an endeavor she admits has been done before as a Live Journal meme, but her insights are fun and quite interesting if not entertaining.

Be sure to check it out!

FRIDAY NIGHT WHO 4/15/11

 

For tonight’s FRIDAY NIGHT WHO we’ll be watching the Peter Davidson classic story, “Earthshock”.  Join us tonight at Midnight C.S.T. for a live “tweet-a-long” on Twitter from Shaun and Glenn (I think we’ll excuse Keith from tweeting since it’s his first exposure to the episode…)  See you then!
