Clara: Huh?
Doctor: The moon’s an egg.
Courtney: Is it a chicken?
Doctor: No!
Courtney: Because for a chicken to have laid an egg that …
Doctor: Courtney, don’t spoil the moment!

In this week’s podcast we ask that very question, among many other silly quandaries. Also, we give our impressions on the game changing episode, Kill the Moon.

But, before that, we take a look at the news circulating our favorite program, as well as more guest announcements for Gally.

Friday Night Who 10/3

If rumor and speculation are true this week’s series 8 episode has scenes that were filmed in Lanzarote, so we thought it was only fitting we watch the other story filmed there “Planet of Fire”

Since we just recently did one Doctor in school teaching for Friday Night Who, and it looks like the 12th Doctor is going to do something simillar we thought “School Reunion” was in order for Friday Night Who this week!

Episode 194 – Something’s Under the Bed

TTV-Logo-1400-150x150“I think everybody at some point in their lives has the exact, same nightmare. You wake up, or you think you do, and there’s someone in the dark, someone close, or you think there might be. So you sit up, turn on the light, and the room looks different at night. It ticks and creaks and breathes. And you tell yourself there’s nobody there, nobody watching, nobody listening. Nobody there at all … and you very nearly believe it. You really, really try. And then…”

In this week’s show, we look at what might just be Steven Moffat’s masterpiece in Doctor Who storytelling, Listen.

We give our impressions on this ground breaking and legend changing episode.

Also, a sad look at news this week, as we’ve lost another Doctor Who contributor who has made her mark on the mythos as well.

And of course, your feedback.

Enjoy!

Friday Night Who 9/12

This week’s Friday Night Who might be a bit of a stretch…not knowing much about “Listen” other than it possibly could involve ghosts…we decided to the 9th Doctor story with “ghosts” “The Unquiet Dead”.

Friday Night Who 9/5

It’s been nearly 3 years since we watched “The Androids of Tara” for Friday Night Who, and we are returning to it since we think it’s a fitting match with series 8 episode 3 “The Robots of Sherwood”.

Friday Night Who 8/29

Friday Night Who continues along with Series 8, and since the second episode of the season is called “Into The Dalek” we figured it would be fitting to do a Dalek story this week, and since we recently did “Resurrection of the Daleks” it makes sense to do Colin’s installment “Revelation of the Daleks” series.
