Our favorite death dealing pepper pots make an overdue return in Death to the Daleks. Sarah Jane and the Third Doctor try to deal with them while trapped on a world that's draining all power and has a fairly evil city just laying around causing problems. All of it will leave you sitting back and asking 'why?'.

Warning! Warning! Fanwanky Theories Alert! This week on The Oncoming Storm, your hosts Josh and Ashley at looking at New Adventure #17, Birthright by Nigel Robinson... and they are throwing out fan theories, pointing out continuity references, and generally being very, very fannish. It's like they're New Adventure writers! As they debate how The Doctor can possibly set up everything in this book and Muldwych's identity, they never lose sight of the one thing they really, really agree on... this book was great! Who needs the Doctor anyway?!? The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got a future Doctor! Well, maybe. If you want him to be. Probably.

This month, while Shane is away at Wrestlemania, I chat with Gavin from Liberation Frequency and Denis from Ground Level about Marvel NOW, how it compares to the DC New 52, what titles they've picked up, and what they think of recent trends in comics.

Andy, Alan and Derek try, and almost fail, to review the Rings of Akhaten. Will Derek get the name right before the outtakes become longer than the episode? Has a massive plot hole been found? And just what is this late breaking news?

Warning: May contain a shameless plug for “The Scorchies ” by Big Finish.

"The Rings of Akhaten" divided opinion in fandom, and we here at Verity! were no different. Listen as Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy hash it out. Was it dumb? Fun? Or both? Did the Doctor face a massive soul-eating god? Or an ineffectual Great Pumpkin cosplayer? We answer these questions (or at least discuss them) and more!

Also covered:
The Reign of Terror with a 3-year-old!
Eastercon watches Doctor Who!
Four members of Verity! nominated for Hugo Awards!
Doctor Who: The Reunion on BBC Radio 4!

It's time for Season 5 and the Season of Monsters! If the Great Intelligence is something new to you, check this season out to see where it all began. Even the Ice Warriors were born this year. The Cybermen are here as well.....hey, this is starting to sound a lot like the 2013 season.....hmm....

Listen to find out which one of us felt that the episode didn't really sing (sorry). Listen to hear some excellent trivia questions from John and some good answers from Will. Listen for the news. Just listen, we'd love to have you join us!

This week the Doctor and Clara go out on their first date, and the question on everyone's mind is whether or not the promise of last week's mid season opener met this week's expectations. So are we going to be seeing the Doctor again next Saturday? Tune in dear listener as the gang is joined by special guest Alyssa Baame from the Big Red Podcast to go 'round 'The Rings of Akhaten'.

Give us a rating on Itunes. It would be much appreciated.

Tenth Doctor, or Tenth Point Five? Plus some Value Added Material from Kyle Anderson (@FunctionalNerd), who is calmly warring against fan entitlement.

Hear Kyle at Doctor Who: The Writer's Room and WTF Are You Watching?

Burrowing a little further into the annals of the Fourth Doctor (a phrase we were looking for any excuse to use), we wander towards the end of his tenure, three years past the last time we saw him in "The Robots of Death" to "State of Decay", in which he matches wits with a trio of ancient vampires amidst a crumbling society.

We also explain why we don't like reviewing Big Finish, and also touch a little - just a tiny little bit - on the latest two episodes, "The Bells of St. John" and "The Rings of Akhaten".

As series 7B of Doctor Who continues, we continue to natter about it. This week, we were treated to the emotional drama of a giant memory vampire holding an entire system hostage and the Doctor's valiant battle to defeat it. Well, that's what we should have had. Instead we got the story of how an old leaf brought down a big face in "The Rings of Akhaten". 

Also we do more of that poker game.

It's been a long road from where we began, but Scrolls as we know it has come to an end. On our final ramble through the genres the team reflect upon the ever-present motif of the Journey - What exactly do authors get from dragging us all over their worlds, why do we travel anyway and how does the experience inform our lives? When we manage to stick to the topic we wander through The Thirteen and a Half Lives of Captain Bluebear, The Long Earth, The Hollowing, Neuromancer and Double Dead, among others. When we stumble off the path you'll hear little vignettes about life at Waterstone's, love custard, curried chocolates, hairy arses and the inevitable destruction of life on Earth. Don't panic.

Journey's End is dedicated to Mattie's dear friend Charlotte Lamb and Phil's beloved grandmother who both sadly passed away around the time The Journey (aka Journey's End) was recorded.

One notable absence from our discussions is the divine road-novel American Gods but don't worry, we'll be doing a Book Group podcast on that pretty darn soon. Oh yeah, the Book Group will continue, never fear. We'll still be doing Scrolls, for that matter but our format is changing considerably. We are becoming more focused and more interactive, which means we need YOU! Here are a few ways that you can help add content to our future episodes.

As well as talking about what we're currently reading we want to hear from YOU. Tweet mini reviews of what you're reading right now [using the hashtag #RRNow ] and we will read them out on air. Alternatively you can e-mail mini-reviews to us at scrolls@hotmail.co.uk and again, we'll read them out in the podcast.

We're always up for a debate, so toss some topics at us to chew over. Do YOU think Dragons are rubbish? That the short story is dead? Do you have a problem with gender politics in horror? Ask us a question or challenge our opinions and we will argue with each other for your entertainment. E-mail scrolls@hotmail.co.uk

We want to tell people about the Best books out there, but we only have so much time to read. If YOU have read a book that you would mark 5/5 then let us know. The review can be as long or as short as you like. You can submit it via e-mail at scrolls@hotmail.co.uk or send us an audio file. Either way, we'll share your review with our listeners and help to spread the love.

Finally, there's the Flash Fiction Challenge. Each episode we'll choose a winner from the last challenge, read out the top three and then set your challenge for the following month. Your word limit is 100 but your imagination can be boundless. Here are the words to get YOU started on the first challenge - Thrashing, Charged, Flag and Bone. Use them all in whatever context you like, then e-mail your entries to us at scrolls@hotmail.co.uk The deadline is 8:30 pm GMT on 14th April 2013.
(You will receive full credit and your stories will be published on the Geek Syndicate website as well after each episode goes live, unless you request otherwise.)

And that's about it, for now. Thank you all for listening to our little show. We hope you've enjoyed the first Volume, and we also hope that the sequel continues to tickle your fancy.

Post your comments and feedback below, tell your friends about us, but most importantly...

Keep reading.
