262: Your Mind on Memes (Under the Lake & Before the Flood)

I need one of those pictures that shows the faces of people on different drugs with one for memes.

I’m disconcerted by the pace at which we’re speeding through this season, if I’m being honest. It feels like my life is wizzing past my eyes as I die. It reminds me a lot of season 7, which we did in 4 weeks even though the season itself would have aired over something like 12. Or probably, more, if I’m being honestly I’m not actually sure how long it would have take because I can’t remember if they were airing two episodes a week or one at that point in the show’s history. It’s Under the Lake & Before the Flood, written by Toby Whithouse  and aired on October 3 and 10, 2015.


Show-notes:


4:40 Brendan from Flight Through Entirety gives his bottom 5 Doctor Who stories in this video.
6:23 The Rescue
14:30 Mark Gatiss wrote Night Terrors.
26:29 I googled bootstrap paradox for you.
33:03 You have 5 seconds to explain why you’re not following Ringo Starr on twitter.
35:15 Foie gras is a food made from force feeding geese or ducks. Balut is an almost-hatched egg eaten whole in the shell.
36:19 The Fisher King is from Arthurian legends.
46:05 Derrida’s scene from Ghost Dance
53:39 Karena (Rigsy’s aunt in Flatline) was actually a deaf character just last season.
58:00 Limited Inc by Derrida. From what I can tell, these are his ideas, not quotes or paraphrases from someone else. Also I was reading this from some notes I took when I read the book, so it’s not verbatim what Derrida wrote, but it’s on page 15 of the pdf I linked.
1:07:03 The events we talk about here are the Goldsboro crash and the Palomares crash.
1:07:55 AIR-2 Genie is an unguided nuke that the U.S. developed to be shot from planes.
1:08:04 The Davy Crockett was a portable nuclear missile launcher.

176: Boiling Water is Hot (Tooth and Claw)

Hot is a relative term though, maybe it’s actually cold.

I’m going to need you to call a doctor as soon as possible. I don’t care which one, it’s just, I’ve been bitten  by this werewolf, and I really don’t know what to do. I’m starting to feel a bit woozy, so if you could hurry up. I’ll be in the hospital here, watching Tooth and Claw, written by Russell T. Davies. As I’m told it originally aired on April 22, 2006.


Show-notes:


18:52 But did she really say “We are not amused?” Radio Times has the answers we’re all looking for. Or not.
23:12 Like we mentioned, it’s the Kohinoor, which is the largest of the Crown Jewels.
26:06 Yeah, believe it or not, dogs actually can get hairballs.
28:53 You don’t get a a picture of it, but this article talks about how the Death Star’s lasers wouldn’t work if it were real.
32:05 This is actually disputed for some reason, but the Australian government says January 1, 1901, so I guess I’ll go with that.
33:55 12 nautical miles.

83: Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle (Terror of the Zygons)

And then like magic, it works! Guaranteed, every time.

This week Kiyan and Dylan return to their regularly scheduled host set-up with just the two of them attempting to explain a serial once again. This week the serial at hand is Terror of the Zygons, which was written by Robert Banks Stewart and aired in August and September of 1975. Harry Sullivan leaves in this episode, so there’s a retrospective at the end of the episode.

This was the base Dylan was referring to. Apparently it appeared in The Spy Who Loved Me, and not the one with the lotus (You Only Live Twice). The Bond Films all kind of blend together at some point.

In the second week of The Second Doctor, Kiyan and Dylan discuss The Highlanders, written by Elwyn Jones and Gerry Davis. It aired in December of 1966, and January of 1967.
