Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 43 minutes and 0 secondsTom and Louis continue their sparsely edited discussions about series six. This week Tom gripes about how he disliked Day of the Moon. Louis barely gets a word in edgewise, as is customary.

We then have some rather heated discussion about the last few episodes of Caprica.
Next week, we'll be looking at the classic William Hartnell story "The Daleks," and the Peter Cushing film adaptation, "Dr. Who and the Daleks." We'll also talk about the news on some upcoming new television projects.

Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 15 minutes and 19 secondsThis week on The Cloister Room, Tom digs into Doctor Who: The Beast Below and Lost: Everybody Loves Hugo, with some kind words for Ashes to Ashes as well.
In Act One, it's all about the monsters, and whether Doctor Who always needs them. In Act Two, Tom makes some minor complaints about how the final season of Lost is going. But in Act Three, Tom turns it around and brings the optimism, praising the first two episodes of series three of Ashes to Ashes.
All this plus the Dune Quote of the Week!

TCR 008: Incursion of the Ha'Roul
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 12 minutes and 40 secondsIn this weeks (er... actually, LAST week's, since I was four days late in releasing it) thrilling episode of The Cloister Room, Tom talks about sense an nonsense.
In Act One, Tom talks about the lack of nonsense in Doctor Who story titles. In Act Two, the "Tom Says Some Stuff About Lost" is about the answers (or non-answers) that Lost is delivering in its final season. Are we making sense of Lost, or aren't we?
Plus, the Dune Quote of the Week, and Haiku Reviews on... well, music, which is entirely off-topic. Does that make sense? Maybe not, but that's what this episode is about!
