Extra! - This or That
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 41 minutes and 13 secondsThis game may not be called You Monster, You, but boy did it end up making us feel like monsters! Join Deb, Erika, Lynne, and Tansy as we make DIFFICULT and TERRIBLE choices that YOU made us pick between. Seriously, I have words for some of you...
Huge thanks to Sage and Kim of Head Over Feels! We blatantly and unashamedly stole borrowed "This or That" from them after their lolarious on-stage version with Paul McGann at LI Who. We appreciate the inspiration, lovely ladies!
As Deb said, there will be more ToT in the future, so feel free to fill this comment thread with suggestions for future editions. Or just yell at us (nicely) for the PAINFUL choices we made.
I'd like to close by apologizing to the 7th Verity, Marie Cat.

Extra! - There's Nothing "Only" About Being a Doctor + Our Gap Months
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 17 minutes and 17 secondsIt's official! We have a new Doctor! And she's a SHE. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we dive into our reactions to this truly momentous news. There were many tears, though not for all the same reasons.
But we won't see Jodie Whittaker in the role for months. And then after that, it'll be a lotta months before we get the next series. In our second timey-wimey segment we talk about what we're gonna do to fill those lonely, Who-less months. "Shadow cabinet of spreadsheets," anyone?
How do you feel about Whittaker's impending Doctorhood? And what will you be doing while we wait for the new Doctor and new series? Let us know in the comments!

Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 0 minutes and 40 secondsIt's a rare on-location Verity! with an even-rarer special guest! Join Erika, Liz, and returning guest, Caroline Symcox as we discuss part one of the season finale story. It was some intense Doctor Who, and we have some intense reactions to it.

Warning: Wacky theorizing may cause disappointment when the show doesn't do what the wacky theory said it might. Or, at least, it will if you're Liz.

Episode 142 - The Death Eaters of Light
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 9 minutes and 38 secondsWhat a fascinating discussion this week's Doctor Who episode lends itself to. Join Deb, Erika, and Tansy as we discuss women who are allowed to fail and still be heroes, the sexual politics of Romans, the Doctor's (possible?) impatience, Bill's outlook on history and its denizens, Nardole as a "space tourist", and much more.
Erika, of all people, even has a cracktastic fan theory about the next season of the show. Incredibly unlikely, but kinda fun, depending on your outlook.
What did you think about this story? Was it slight? Were the stakes high? Was the monster the point? Was the doctor impatient or irritable or something else? What's up with Missy? SO MANY QUESTIONS. Please feel free to play in the comment section like it's one big happy fandom sandbox.

Episode 141 - Empress of Mars Attacks
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 9 minutes and 41 secondsLow expectations may have helped, but all three Verities enjoyed this ep to varying degrees. Join Deb, Erika, and Katrina as we talk about what we liked and, of course, the few things we didn't. There was some definite "iffy" territory to cover as well.
What did you think of "Empress of Mars"? Was it rollicking, fanservicey fun? Did it make you uncomfortable from a representational perspective? Possibly both? Does the title need a definitive article? Let us know in the comments!

Episode 139 - Exploring the Pyramid at the End of the World
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 15 minutes and 38 secondsIt's another Verity! three-hander, but we soldier on to dig into this "meaty" episode. Join Deb, Erika, and Tansy as we talk about consent--as it relates to our feelings about the word as well as world politics. We speculate about a possible impending reset button (or not?). And there's an awful lot of squee. Not all of it is related to the episode itself. Spreadsheets, man. Spreadsheets.
