Idol Threat (HOT TAKE: "The Interstellar Song Contest") 38:00

The Interstellar Song Contest is a full-on sensory overload: galactic glam, massive stakes, and more killer hooks than a Skybox full of Hellions.

The Lies that Blind (HOT TAKE: “Lucky Day”) 38:22

1M ago38:22

38:22

It's a Lucky Day… or is it? Is this a bold stand for truth in the age of misinformation, or an unsubtle lecture about trusting the deep state?

Heavy Meta (HOT TAKE: “Lux”) 40:28

RTD just gave us Alan Cumming as a cartoon god named Mr. Ring-a-Ding, and that’s not even the weirdest part of “Lux.” This episode has 2D-animated monsters, film reel body horror, meta commentary on fandom, and the Doctor using regeneration energy to treat a boo-boo.

2M ago46:32

It's the future, and your star registry gift just triggered a robotic uprising.

Invade for TV (Discharging “Aliens of London and World War Three”) 1:38:49

2M ago1:38:49

1:38:49

Say it with us now: it’s not just Slitheen fart jokes. Aliens of London/World War Three is the Ecclestone-Piper powerhouse that firmly established how NuWho would grow beyond the old-school kind of Earth invasion. It would be smart, twisty, full of “real” fake media and political references. It would stuff the Prime Minister in a closet. And it wou…

The Reich Stuff (Vivisecting “The Sontaran Experiment”) 1:31:48

2M ago1:31:48

1:31:48

Sontar-what now? An odd little two-parter squished between two titanic Tom Baker classics, The Sontaran Experiment manages to downgrade its clone army villain — with a flimsy mask that makes him look more like a bald white dude amid a bunch of South African “colonials”, plus evil experiments that … don’t seem very science-y? We had fun concocting t…

The Companion Falls (Impacting “Earthshock”) 1:38:41

3M ago1:38:41

1:38:41

Adric’s fate, an unexpected "asteroid," and the triumphant return of the Cybermen—Earthshock is the definitive Doctor Who game-changer. From its big-budget action sequences to its brutal emotional gut punches, this Davison classic gave us one of the show’s most shocking cliffhangers and its most heart-wrenching companion exit.

Breaking Dad (Reliving “Father’s Day”) 1:33:27

3M ago1:33:27

1:33:27

When Doctor Who returned in 2005, timey-wimey twists like Rose saving her dad in Father’s Day had rarely been seen on screen. But one entire Moffat era later, audiences are more sophisticated. So how does this small-scale Tyler tale land 20 years later? Do we still fear the Reapers? Grab your chunky carphone and make it to the church on time as we …

Electric Screams (Shipwrecking “Horror of Fang Rock”) 1:36:36

4M ago1:36:36

1:36:36

Just this once, Leela … everybody dies! Horror of Fang Rock may be a kind of bottle episode (well, a tall bottle with a big electric light on top), but no Doctor Who story has a higher percentage of guest cast killed. And with this bunch of refugees from an Agatha Christie play, who wouldn’t be rooting for a Rutan to off ’em? Join us as we peer int…

Slave New World (Liberating “Planet of the Ood”) 1:19:51

4M ago1:19:51

1:19:51

How do the Ood serve Doctor Who? Are they more interesting as harbingers of doom, pawns of the literal devil, or rabid victims of capitalist greed? Planet of the Ood takes the latter approach, and the result is a tale so dark even Donna Noble can’t lighten it up. Still, she (and we) can at least get on the Doctor’s case for his heavy-handed analogi…

Mazed and Confused (Mythologizing “The Horns of Nimon”) 1:24:37

5M ago1:24:37

1:24:37

Time waits for Nimon! Well, time waits for someone to appreciate The Horns of Nimon — the unintended finale to one of the greatest seasons of Doctor Who. With its drunk ballet bulls and a villain on a strict scenery diet, this could be a comedy classic. Or a triumph for Romana and her superior sonic. But is it? Dare to enter the labyrinth with us a…

A Star Is Born (HOT TAKE: “Joy to the World”) 40:58

5M ago40:58

40:58

Good God, what is happening in Joy to the World, possibly the most time-wimey Doctor Who Christmas special to date. We’d expect nothing less from Steven Moffat, who stuffs a dinosaur, a bootstrap paradox, and a multi-Doctor story all into a holiday meal that’s anything but a turkey. You might want to dress yourself in several layers just to keep up…

A Wrinkle in Flesh Time (Enlightening “Four to Doomsday”) 1:27:04

6M ago1:27:04

1:27:04

There's bad Doctor Who that makes you ROFL. There's bad Doctor Who that just leaves you baffled. And sometimes, if you're lucky, you find both in one story. Four to Doomsday, Peter Davison's first dip in the Who pool, was a tale of two reactions for Team PTO. Good thing the political angles (incel Adric, anyone?) were so outnumbered by hilarious/du…

Nonrapid Transit (Jackknifing “Gridlock”) 1:27:21

6M ago1:27:21

1:27:21

“Stuck in traffic for ages” may be the most mundane sci-fi concept Doctor Who has ever offered. Yet Gridlock shines through the smog, even though we have to wonder why they don’t have smog-free EVs in the year five billion. How did RTD do it? Three words: great artists steal. Even when they’re stealing from the galaxy’s greatest comic, 2000AD. Join…

Get Back (Reversing “The Edge of Destruction”) 1:34:28

6M ago1:34:28

1:34:28

In a sense, Doctor Who delivered its scariest story ever on its third outing. There’s something truly unsettling about The Edge of Destruction, especially in our unsettled times. The show seems to be tearing itself apart, annihilating dialogue, turning viewers against Ian, Susan and the Doctor (but blessedly not Barbara) when we’ve barely got to kn…

Axis of Medieval (Besieging “The Time Warrior”) 1:28:20

7M ago1:28:20

1:28:20

Did New Who start in 2005 … or 1973? The Time Warrior fell from the stars with a surprising number of firsts for a show in its 11th year: not just the first Sontaran, but the debut of Sarah-Jane Smith, the diamond logo, the time tunnel, and a planet called (checks notes) Gallifrey. But that’s not all: Robert Holmes’ script brings a Moffat-y level o…
