With the third season of Doctor Who finished, Warren and Steven turned their attentions this week to a very different subject for their forty-second episode of Radio Free Skaro—the works of Douglas Adams. The episode covers Hitchhikers–radio play, books, television series, film, computer game–and its sequels, with mentions of Blackadder (as Tom Baker and SimonContinue reading “On This Week’s Radio Free Skaro”

On USB Hubs
Did I mention this? I’m not sure. On Saturday, at Shore Leave I purchased a TARDIS USB Hub. I’d been wanting one for a while, even though I had no real need for it–my keyboard at home has a built-in USB hub, my CPU tower has a front-access USB port and four USB slots inContinue reading “On USB Hubs”
On “The Land of Happy Endings”
So I’ve been reading the Doctor Who graphic novel, The Flood, starring Paul McGann’s Doctor. And I have decided. “The Land of Happy Endings” may be the most perfect Doctor Who story ever. Dr Who and his grandchildren, John and Gillian, have a little adventure on a very sad planet. Sad grey aliens, flying robots,Continue reading “On “The Land of Happy Endings””
On a Whovian Theology
Okay, I lied. I’m still on a Doctor Who high at the moment. Yes, I did say a few days ago that, just last week, actually, oh let’s see what the quote was, “hopefully I’ll be writing about something other than Doctor Who for a while.” It happens. Something I came across in my ‘netContinue reading “On a Whovian Theology”
On Whovian Cast Changes
We’ll go behind a spoiler cut for Americans not up to date on the just-finished-in-the-UK third season.
On Doctor Who Podcasts
For the longest time I didn’t understand what a “podcast” was. Mainly it was that I didn’t (and still don’t) own an iPod, and from the name I assumed it was something that was iPod-specific, a radio program for iPods. Eventually I realized–it’s just an audio file with a fancy name. Usually someone sitting aroundContinue reading “On Doctor Who Podcasts”
On Random Who Quotage
From Bill, via Keith, via others… When you see this post, quote from Doctor Who on your LJ. “I will come back. Yes, I will come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken inContinue reading “On Random Who Quotage”
On Whovian Rankings
Because it needs to be done (which in this case means, because Keith did it and that automatically makes it good and worthwhile)… Stolen ruthlessly, here is The Utterly Utterly Accurate And Definitive 21st Century Doctor Who Tiered Rankings, as decided upon by me because my opinion is the only one that matters. :p TheContinue reading “On Whovian Rankings”
On “The Sound of Drums”
Oh. My. God. Oh. My. God. Holy. Fuck. The penultimate episode of Doctor Who‘s third season isn’t perfect. But Holy! Fuck! Three years and two series have been building toward this. You can tell. It started last week, as the threads pulled closer. This week? All bets are off. The sound of drums? It’s theContinue reading “On “The Sound of Drums””
On Losing Geek Cred
I should turn in my Doctor Who Geek Card. I’d forgotten that Graeme Harper was one of the pre-Hartnell Doctors in “Brain of Morbius.” Camfield, Philip Hinchcliffe, Robert Holmes–those are the easy ones. But Harper? I’m not worthy of being a Doctor Who Geek if I can forget that Graeme Harper was a cameo Doctor.Continue reading “On Losing Geek Cred”
