2MTL 373: "The Girl in the Fireplace" Throwback Review

"The Girl in the Fireplace" is a glimpse into the future: Steven Moffat's second Doctor Who story pretty much establishes the format that the show will follow when he takes over as showrunner and casts Smith, Gillan and Darvill. Plus, we revisit a 2MTL topic from 2009 and marvel at the entire cast's relational flexibility, and talk about the other John Byrne.

2MTL 368: The Last "Last Christmas" Panel (Time Dilation)

It's still Christmas, darn it! And the Doctor Who series isn't over yet!
