"Victory of the Daleks" Commentary on Radio Free Skaro 216

Sorry for not mentioning this here earlier, but perhaps I was trying to wipe my brain of the memory. Unlike Tom of The Doctor Who Podcast, whose opinion of "Victory" soared after his initial skepticism here on 2MTL, my initial lukewarm-favorable opinion declined over time — especially under the withering gaze sitting in Warren's commentary chair demands.

Had a lot of fun sitting with Steven and Chris on this one, and I think I did a slightly better job, as we talked about sprinklers, camera moves, and eyelines. Check it out.

2MTL 161: That McGann Guy Could Be a Good Guest Star

A little while back, I noticed a flurry of activity in the ol' Twitter feed, campaigning for Paul McGann's return as the Eighth Doctor in the new series. If it could be done, should it? I think so, because there's one completely unique quality to the Eighth Doctor that Steven Moffat could exploit the heck out of. And that is….

2MTL 160: Time Differential Shorted Out for Classic DVD Releases

Shall we take a moment to revel in, or even squee over, the news that we're getting accelerated and synchronized classic Doctor Who DVD releases in North America, Australia and New Zealand? Indeed we shall.

Ahem.

Squee!

Chip and Radio Free Skaro Explain Doctor Who on The Podcast Podcast

The name's what it says on the tin: "Fozziebare" interviews podcasters to find out about their shows and interests on The Podcast Podcast. He asked me on to help explain this "Doctor Who" thing; I dragged Steven from Radio Free Skaro along because one of us needed to know what we were talking about! Check us out on The Podcast Podcast #32.

2MTL 159: I'm Grumpy About Mitchell Being Grumpy About Doctor Who

Resolved: There's absolutely nothing wrong with Doctor Who being made for kids AND adults, regardless of what comedian David Mitchell says. I'm more worked up about kids' properties being taken over BY adults, such as The Transformers, than about adults sharing in the enjoyment of a program that appeals to all ages.

2MTL 158: Series 6 and Series 7 in 2011? Madness!

As widely reported, Steven Moffat announced at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh TV Festival 2010 that rather than a single 13-episode series of Doctor Who in 2011, we'll get two shorter series in the spring and fall. Related pros, cons, speculation and unreasonable demands lie within!

2MTL 155: "Time Dilation" Interview with Hurricane Who's Jarrod Cooper

Last April revealed some major challenges for the Hurricane Who convention, with some guests reporting that they had not yet been compensated for their October appearance and were unable to contact convention head Jarrod Cooper. (I reported on these events, which were first made public on the Gallifrey Base forum, in 2MTL #125.)

In this podcast, Jarrod calls in for an extended interview in which we discuss what happened, his efforts to satisfy Hurricane Who's obligations, and his hopes for the convention's future.
