Verity! Episode 59 - Dark Waterdeep
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 31 minutes and 40 secondsThe season finale has finally arrived! Or part one of it has, anyway. It's safe to say that most of the Verities are preeeeety excited about it. Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we enthusiastically flail and squee and jabber about all there is to love and speculate about "Dark Water". There's a lot to chew on here. There's also a bit of a Skype lag, which causes some simultaneous talking, but that doesn't stop us from gleefully recounting our favorite bits and examining what (we think) is going on.
What did you think about "Dark Water"? We know the response wasn't entirely positive, and as always, we're interested in all your opinions! (As long as they're phrased kindly and don't insult those who disagree, anyway. Of course, you guys are awesome and pretty much always stick to that!) So please leave a comment and let us know what you thought of these revelations and why.
Can it be Saturday already please?

Verity! Episode 58 - The Tyger Sleeps in the Forest of the Night
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 31 minutes and 16 secondsWelcome to what's probably the least enthusiastic episode of Verity! this series. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy as we mull over what we thought of this episode. While there are no real strong feelings about the story, we're unanimous in our appreciation of the direction of Sheree Folkson. If nothing else, this was a gorgeous episode! And of course, we make time for some more examination of the Danny-Clara-Doctor triangle.

Verity! Episode 57 - Flatline of Credit
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 28 minutes and 36 secondsWelcome to a squeeful episode of Verity! We loved this episode, and we're not afraid to show it! Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we pick this one apart--in a(n almost entirely) good way! Liz manages to come up with some complaints, but they're almost all laughably minor. Mostly we spend time talking about Clara and the Doctor. And what could be better, really?

Verity! Episode 56 - Are You My Mummy on the Orient Express
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 29 minutes and 36 secondsFinally! An episode that's less-than-controversial! Well...for the most part. We Verities can find controversy just about anywhere. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Liz as we muse over all there is to love about this story. Of course, I did mention controversy...though this time it's minor and mostly revolves around the flirting (or lack thereof, depending whom you agree with)--but that argument will never die.
What did you think of the mummy? Or the total absence of flirting? Or the addiction angle? Or anything else? Let us know in the comments!

Verity! Episode 55 - Murder-Death-Kill the Moon
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 22 minutes and 30 secondsIt’s here! The episode you’ve all been clamoring for. (Or many of you have, anyway.) Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we tackle the big issues (and a precious few that aren’t so big) in yet another divisive episode of series 8. What did we think about killing the moon? Would we have turned off our lights? Did we think it was intentionally evocative of the real-world reproductive rights debate? Do we think the Doctor was justified in his actions? It’ll come as no surprise that we don’t all agree. What we do however, is wade through technical issues to succeed in having a really good conversation about all these things and more.
What about you? Would you have left your lights on? Let us know in the comments!
^E
Also covered [links on our site]:
- Lynne is still obsessed with Doctor Who Legacy!
- Tansy is touched by the outpouring of social-media love for the late Maggie Stables, who played Evelyn Smythe.
- Erika
- forgot last week to mention Seasons of War is raising money for Caudwell Children through a JustGiving charity campaign!
- loved Rivers of London (aka Midnight Riot) by Ben Aaronovitch (writer of Remembrance of the Daleks and Battlefield)!
- impulse-bought Doctor Who Trivial Pursuit!
- Deb
- is thrilled with the new 12th Doctor comic book!
- will be doing a Doctor Who panel this Friday at 4:15pm in room 1A24 at New York Comic Con!

Verity! Episode 54 - Who Gives a Caretaker
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 18 minutes and 46 secondsWelcome to a spirited episode of Verity! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we vociferously disagree about the relationship and soldier issues in "The Caretaker". It's a boisterous discussion in which we once again prove it's possible to strongly disagree, and yet still remain fast friends. Which Verity thinks Danny is turning into a jerkface? Who thinks he was justified in everything he said and did? Who can barely form complete sentences at the start of the podcast? And who has the plague? Listen and see!
What did you think about this ep? Is the Doctor a huge jerk? Is Danny? Is Clara? All three? And what about Courtney Woods? Let us know in the comments!

Verity! Episode 52 - Listen to Your Heart(s)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 31 minutes and 51 secondsThe Capaldi goodness just keeps on coming! Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we tackle what seems to be another divisive episode amongst Doctor Who fans, and the Verities are no different!

Verity! Episode 50 - Into the Heart of Dalekness
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 3 minutes and 16 secondsAre you as happy as we are to have new Doctor Who *every week*? Because we're pretty excited. Join Deb, Erika, and Lynne as we jump "Into the Dalek" and chat about this latest episode. Despite "Dalek fatigue", we're able to find plenty to squee about here--not the least of which is Peter Capaldi. We're not all equally thrilled with the introduction of Danny Pink, but we are all interested in seeing where that particular story line goes. (We can't say the same about the Missy plot/arc/red herring.)
What are your thoughts on this latest Dalek story? And what do you think of the new Doctor, now that he's starting to settle into himself? Let us know in the comments!

Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we talk about what little we know of the upcoming Series 8. We also have a nice little discussion about out spoiler policy--and spoilers in general. Poor Erika does too much Verity! homework and learns more than she wants. Lynne experiences ratatouille and bitterness. Kat wants you to serve her fangirly whims. And Deb is apparently on a first-name basis with Steven Moffat.

Verity! Episode 48 - Designing Monsters
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 17 minutes and 14 secondsWelcome to an aesthetically-oriented episode of Verity! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we take a look at monsters/aliens/villains from a design perspective. Which baddies look great? Which don't? Does a fleshed-out back story that dovetails with the design help or hinder? And of course, we save time for our most (and least!) favorites! It's a fascinating discussion that almost breaks Deb at one point--not every DW design choice was a wise one. Sometimes a cape in and of itself *is* the superhero.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes and 57 secondsVerityExtraBFWriters210We at Verity! often jabber on about Big Finish, but this time we thought we'd let some experts do the jabbering for us.

Una McCormack makes an overdue return, and we're delighted to welcome Caroline Symcox to the podcast!
If you've ever been curious about what the Big Finish process is like, this is the Extra! for you. And if you have a favorite BF audio, do tell us in the comments. We're always all ears for recommendations (and specifically, recs for where to start)!
Also, do you like free stuff? Well, then be sure to enter our Big Finish giveaway! Three people will win download codes for three different stories (Breaking Bubbles and Other Stories, The Council of Nicaea, and Starborn [by Jacqueline Rayner]), and a fourth lucky winner will win codes for all three!
Twitter entries are preferred: use "#BreakingBubbles from @bigfinish" to enter! If you're not on Twitter, we'll accept comment entries here as well. (No other social media though. Two entry sources are enough to comb through. Wouldn't want to miss anybody!)

Una McCormack makes an overdue return, and we're delighted to welcome Caroline Symcox to the podcast!
If you've ever been curious about what the Big Finish process is like, this is the Extra! for you. And if you have a favorite BF audio, do tell us in the comments. We're always all ears for recommendations (and specifically, recs for where to start)!
Also, do you like free stuff? Well, then be sure to enter our Big Finish giveaway! Three people will win download codes for three different stories (Breaking Bubbles and Other Stories, The Council of Nicaea, and Starborn [by Jacqueline Rayner]), and a fourth lucky winner will win codes for all three!
Twitter entries are preferred: use "#BreakingBubbles from @bigfinish" to enter! If you're not on Twitter, we'll accept comment entries here as well. (No other social media though. Two entry sources are enough to comb through. Wouldn't want to miss anybody!)

Episode 46 - Communication Breakdown
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 12 minutes and 32 secondsThis week we do lots of talking about villains who don't. Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we discuss what makes silent villains so creepy and effective. We also discover just how many Moffat-baddies are non-talkers (or mostly non-talkers). And do stick around for a particularly interesting tangent about gender roles and power dynamics in communication. This Verity! ep gets positively analytical! Almost scholarly! Almost.
And of course, let us know who your favorite quiet killers are--or weigh in on the deeper debate about communication in general. Or both!

Verity! Extra! - Doctor in a Strange Land
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 29 minutes and 36 secondsThis week's Extra! features crossover madness! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy, as we muse over what it would be like to plop the Doctor into other fictional worlds. What makes a good crossover? Which Verity isn't really comfortable with crossovers? Which coins the term "Capaldi-flicted"? And which observes that Capaldi "gives good cape"? Listen and see!
Then let us know in the comments what fictional worlds you'd like to see the Doctor (and/or his companions) visit. Inquiring Verities want to know!
