283: The Twitspace (Arachnids in the UK)

All of America is the twitspace.

I just realized how weird it is that the villain in a UK story is an American. There’s probably more to that now that I think about it, something about how America gained its independence and now the UK hates them or something. It’s Arachnids in the UK, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on October 28, 2018.


Show-notes:


2:12: Article about George Lucas’ original ideas for the sequel trilogy.
3:56: Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast
10:50: Obviously I was just joking here, but a quick skim of the Tardis wiki reminded me that the Master’s plan in Time-Flight was something along the lines of using the Tardis’ energy to break out of some alternate dimension. Also here’s (one version of) that meme with Gru from Despicable Me.
13:46: Yeah I still have no idea what this was supposed to be or what it is. According to the Doctor Who wiki, he said pakora, but that’s not what it sounded like at all.
24:05: Before the Law by Kafka
25:54: Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast
27:26: Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast
40:02: Pretty sure it was grime.
45:11: Axolotl by Cortázar

Children of the Stones 3 – Serpent in the Circle

Now with 75% more recap!

The title of this episode makes me think heavily of the ouroboros, which is that snake arranged in a circle that’s eating its own tail. Although really a snake isn’t the same as a serpent but the mistake is easy to make as far as I’m concerned. What is a serpent anyway? It’s Serpent in the Circle, written by Jeremy Burnham and Trevor Ray and aired on January 24, 1977.


Show-notes:


12:47: This article has a pretty good explanation of dating rocks via magnetic field. Just scroll down to “Using paleomagnetism to date rocks and fossils”
20:33: Here’s the picture of the black hole that was released in April 2019 (I think).

282: It’s Just Ozzies ft. Argy (Rosa)

Ozzie Osborne that is.

This week we’re joined by Argy yet again to travel back in time to Montgomery. To be fair absolutely none of us have been to Montgomery before, so it’s a bit of a new experience for all of us. I’ll be honest I think I can say with some mild certainty that most of our audience hasn’t been to Montgomery either. So it’s new for you too. It’s Rosa, written by Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall and aired on October 21, 2018.

Children of the Stones 2 – Circle of Fear

Why do I have this weird feeling that there’s an episode of Doctor Who with this name?

This might be one of the shortest “actual” episodes we’ve ever released. Obviously our introductory episodes are always shorted than this, but this covers an actual topic! A whole full 25 minute episode that we condensed into a whole 21 minute podcast episode. Amazing that’s a whole 4 minutes we saved you. It’s Circle of Fear, written by Jeremy Burnham and Trevor Ray and aired on January 17, 1977.


Show-notes:


1:48: According to Wikipedia, Dai is a Welsh name.
6:02: Here’s the mentos & coke fishing video. They’re catfish by the way. Mudskippers are another type of fish that are able to live in and out of water.
18:17: Speaking of Neverending Story 3, we watched Neverending Story 3 for our movie trilogy podcast Triple Play: A Movie Trilogy Podcast, which you should check out cause it desperately needs the listeners.
18:50: The Black Cauldron was a book that came out in the 60s before Disney made the movie.

281: End Doctor Who Once and for All (The Ghost Monument)

Doctor Who must not go on.

When I saw the title for this episode the first time I was convinced it was some sort of monument to Casper the friendly ghost. Like it was going to be something super cool about this cartoon character. In hindsight I’m starting to think that would be the weirdest crossover in existence, but I kind of want to see if they could make it work. It’s The Ghost Monument, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on October 14, 2018.


Show-notes:


10:11: From Wikipedia: Continuity editing is the process, in film and video creation, of combining more-or-less related shots, or different components cut from a single shot, into a sequence to direct the viewer’s attention to a pre-existing consistency of story across both time and physical location.
23:53: Wikipedia (the source of all my knowledge) doesn’t seem to say anything about being able to overcome dyspraxic setbacks mentally.

Children of the Stones 1 – Into the Circle

Personally I find triangles much more pleasing to the eye.

It’s time for us to journey beyond our perception of euclidian space time. It’s time we shut the door on the simple shows of the past, that dealt with complex, 3 dimensional shapes. It’s finally time to take a look at what might be both the most simple and yet also the most complex two dimensional shape: The Circle.  It’s Into the Circle, written by  Jeremy Burnham and Trevor Ray and aired on January 10, 1977.


Show-notes:


9:12: Check out our Blake’s 7 podcast Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast and our Doctor Who podcast Trust Your Doctor: A Doctor Who Podcast.
10:52: Here’s the link if you’re interested in listening to the BBC documentary about this show yourself. I haven’t listened to it yet.

280: I’ve Made my Final Judgement (The Woman Who Fell to Earth)

We all regenerate into women this week.

Just kidding, Trust Your Doctor is still a sausage fest. Sort of. It’s kind of sobering to realize just how many male Doctor Who podcasts there are, and then compare that to the number that have, say, at least one female host. It’s The Woman Who Fell to Earth, written by Chris Chibnall and aired on October 7, 2018.


Show-notes:


8:13: It’s Segun Akinola.
9:35: Population: 582,506 (according to wiki)

Star Cops 9 – Little Green Men and Other Martians

And so we have reached our second series finale.

The title of this episode remind me of that Star Trek episode that one time when Quark went back in time and it turned out he was the alien that crash landed at Roswell, New Mexico. That would have been the weirdest thing about this episode, tbh, if it had suddenly turned into a crossover with Star Trek. Can you imagine?! It’s Little Green Men and Other Martians, written by Chris Boucher and aired on August 31st, 1987.


Show-notes:


1:39: This episode was always meant to be the finale to the show with the cliffhanger ending of them going to Mars. In the original plan this was episode 10, but one episode (the original episode 9) was cancelled and they just moved this one up.
5:29: Episode 5 was written by Philip Martin.
36:00: I’ll just leave this here again: Big Finish Star Cops hub
41:18: To them I say you should listen to Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.

The Twelfth Doctor Retrospective

This is the end of everything.

It’s kind of bittersweet saying goodbye to so many things that have kind of become staples so to speak of the show for us. Stephen Moffat, Murray Gold, Mark Gatiss, Peter Capaldi. All of them are leaving for us now. This almost feels like it might be one of the biggest changes in the show that we’ve ever experienced. This week we read Terrorformer and The Swords of Kali, published in October 2014 through February 2015.


Show-notes:


5:19: Check out our Blake’s 7 podcast Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast.
15:35: The Enigma of Amigara Fault. Also check out our classic sci-fi podcast Inevitable: A Classic Sci-Fi Podcast. It desperately needs the listeners.
25:42: The Massacre only had 4 episodes thankfully.

Star Cops 8 – Other People’s Secrets

Two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead.

I have never seen a psychiatrist, but I have seen a psychologist. And I’m starting to really wonder how that distinction could be so massively lost in Star Cops. I mean, they do and perform completely and utterly different tasks so the confusion between the two is honestly baffling. Unless Parr just happens to be a psychiatrist that also performs psychological duties, which then that’s all well and good. It’s Other People’s Secrets, written by John Collee and aired on August 24th, 1987.


Show-notes:


13:15: Check out Zenith: A Blake’s 7 Podcast, our Blake’s 7 podcast.
32:27: War Horse was directed by Stephen Spielberg
43:33: More about Bright if you care. Also, Wikipedia describes this as urban fantasy and not high fantasy, so that’s a little disappointing.
46:24: Ok here we go:
Like the ripple of the water sends a message to the shore
So for now and ever after I will miss you more and more
It won’t be easy
No, no
I won’t be easy without you
No, no
I won’t be easy
No, no, no.

Shine a light into the darkness find an answer everyday
How I wish that you were with me now I know that come what may
It won’t be easy
No, no
It won’t be easy without you
No, no
It won’t be easy
No, no, no.

Reach across the stars let them know you’re with me
Reach across the stars send out the word let them know what can be
Send out the word I remember you.

In the shelter of the moonlight in the shadow of the sun
In the silence that’s eternal there’s a blessing one by one
It won’t be easy
No, no
It won’t be easy without you
No, no
It won’t be easy
No, no, no.

Thanks, David.
