Doctor Who: Verity! Episodes

Ep 97 - Stairway to Heaven Sent
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 52 minutes and 25 secondsIt’s another LIVE edition of Verity! Join Erika and Lynne, live from Chicago TARDIS, as we cover “Heaven Sent”, Doctor Who’s very first one-man-show! We watched it a the con, which made it even more special.
What did you think of Capaldi’s very-nearly-solo effort? Let us know in the comments!

Ep 96 - Face the Ravenclaw
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 13 minutes and 33 secondsWe may not be quite sure whether this is truly the end for Clara, but we all agree that "Face the Raven" is a fantastic story and a great debut by writer Sarah Dollard. Join Deb, Lynne, and Tansy as we evaluate character departures, discuss character motivation, and touch on Steven Moffat's commitment issues. We examine Clara Oswald's arc and try to determine whether she was running toward death or running from grief. We also discuss the themes of morality throughout Series 9 because, why not? (I think it's safe to say we loved this one.)
What did you think of "Face the Raven"? Do you think Clara met a fitting end or did her death feel too slight or insignificant? Do you think Mayor Me is the other side of the Doctor's morality or just a misguided villain? Let us know in the comments!

- Deb got a frisson of nostalgia/joy/excitement at hearing the Big Finish Preview for the upcoming tenth Doctor and Donna Noble audios. She also started listening to Unit - Extinction in hopes of resurrecting her Kate Lethbridge-Stewart love.

Ep 93 - The Zygon Invasion of the Zygons
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 32 minutes and 16 secondsThis week we discuss another Peter Harness nail biter or, depending on which Verity is on the mic, that meh episode with Osgood. (Maybe one of us has shapeshifted!) Join Deb, Kat, Lynne, and Tansy as we parse refugee metaphor, fangirls leveling up, and underpants. It's that sort of episode. And we miss Erika, who is jaunting around the UK, just a little.
What did you think of "The Zygon Invasion"? Was it too heavy-handed or just a good invasion story? Have we had enough of The Hybrid talk? Is sometimes a cigar just a cigar? Let us know what you think in the comments!

Ep 92 - Breaking Down the Woman Who Lived
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 20 minutes and 54 secondsWhile we're not so sure this qualifies as part of a two-parter, we agree it's well worth talking about! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we delve into what it means to be immortal with a human brain, the fabulous chemistry Maisie Williams has with Peter Capaldi, some truly fantastic writing, and lots of fawning over highwaymen (by some of us, at least). It's a squee-filled episode, but not entirely without criticism.
What did you think of "The Woman Who Lived"? Did you dig the highwayman gig? Did you weep at Lady Me's cruelty? Did you roll your eyes at the big kitty in a crown? Let us know in the comments!

Extra! - Prologue! Prologue! Prologue!
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 37 minutes and 48 secondsThis week we throw out our regularly scheduled topic (or rather, shelve it back into the spreadsheet) and talk about BBC Doctor Who prologues! That's right, the BBC surprised us with some series 9 Capaldi goodness, and we just couldn't hold back. In addition, we cover some of the other internet-only prologue action the BBC has tossed our way over the years. (Note: If you're looking for speculation and a frame-by-frame breakdown, you have come to the wrong podcast, my friend.)
Oh yeah, and Erika is over the moon because it's not called a "prequel"!

Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we discuss Jo's merits as a companion. They are many--especially in this story. There's a lot of Jo love, dissension among the ranks as to which Peladon story is better, and even some soul-searching. It's quite an episode!

Ep 85 - Snack Orchid (The Adric Story)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 15 minutes and 6 secondsThis week it's Lynne's turn to pick a companion-tastic story, and bafflingly, she chose Nyssa in "Black Orchid". Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we discuss all the companions in "Black Orchid". Lynne does have some strong reasons why Nyssa shines here. Deb thinks it's a stronger Tegan story. And Erika discovers it's her new favorite Adric story. It may be a short story, but with the crowded TARDIS of the fifth Doctor era, there are lots of companions to go around!
What do you think of this story? Would you have picked a different Nyssa story? Or can you think of other reasons this is a goor one for her? And do you find Adric boring? Charming? Annoying? Let us know in the comments!
And remember, you have about a week left to contribute to the Uncanny Magazine Year Two Kickstarter and make an extra difference thanks to an amazing Verity! listener!

Ep 82 - A Cool Reunion
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 12 minutes and 58 secondsThis week it's Kat's turn to pick a companioney story. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we talk about Sarah Jane Smith in "School Reunion". Is this representative of Sarah? Does that even matter? And how does this work as in introduction story for one of classic Who's most beloved companions? What are some other stories (and media) that show off Sarah Jane as a companion and highlight her relationship with the Doctor? We cover all that and more.
What do you think of "School Reunion" as a Sarah Jane Smith story? Do you think she's been waiting for the Doctor and pining away? Or do you think she's been out there kicking booty all along? Let us know in the comments!

Ep 81 - A Powerful Three
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 15 minutes and 16 secondsThis is the first ep in a Verity! miniseries in which we each select a story that displays a compelling Doctor-companion relationship. Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we cover Erika's pick, "The Power of Three". The Ponds' penultimate story is rife with companion-based themes--to the detriment of what little plot there is.
How do you feel about the interactions between the Doctor, Amy, and Rory in "The Power of Three"? Does it give you enough to chew on so that you can ignore the weak story? (Or do you disagree and think the story is amazing?) Let us know in the comments!
