Episode 149 – Here Come the Drums Here Come the Drums
New Verity!
Our year of loves and lasts hits another love. Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we discuss an episode that Kat really loves: “The Sound of Drums”. Yes, you read that right. Kat loves a 10th Doctor episode, and we find out why! We also talk about why the rest of us like it. There are numerous reasons, including Jack and the Master and good old Martha.
Why do you love (or not love) this ep? Let us know in the comments!

Extra! – This or That
Today’s unicorn chaser… Doctor Who Style
This 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.

Book review: Heroine Worship by Sarah Kuhn
Heroine Worship by Sarah Kuhn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Second book in the series, and I loved it just as much. This is Aveda Jupiter’s/Annie Chang’s book. She’s picture-perfect as a heroine, but there’s not much demon-busting to be had. Instead, she decides to work on being a perfect best friend to her bestie Evie Tanaka. Who is getting married. Very. Shortly.
Perfect Weddings are tough, yo. Especially when something is possessing brides and turning them into Bridezillas. And when maids of honor want everything to be perfect, but “perfect” is not what you pictured, there are lessons to be learned about friendship, and about being okay with who you turned out to be.
If you liked the gang from Heroine Complex, everyone is back, better than ever. Great fun!

Episode 147 – Survival Kit(ling)
GOOD HUNTING SISTERS! The episode where we discuss Survival!
Our year of loves and lasts continues with a rather big “last”. Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne as we discuss 1989’s “Survival”, which was a “last” in many ways, although it wasn’t originally intended as such.
How do you feel about 7’s last full story? What did you think of the Cheetah People’s costumes? Is that infamous line really the nadir of Sylvester McCoy’s performances on Doctor Who? Let us know in the comments!

Lynne had moving prep help from Michi Trota, Jesse Lex, and Dolores and Matt Peters (the latter two gave them Doctor Who LEGO Dimensions goodies), and Matt hosts two podcasts:

Episode 146 – The Pit of the Impossible Satan Planet
New Verity!
Now that series 10 is over, our year of loves and lasts continues with a love. A lot of love. Two episodes of love, in fact! Join Deb, Erika, and Tansy as we dip back into series 2 with a two-parter that Deb just loves: “The Impossible Planet” and “The Satan Pit”.
Do you love these eps like we do? Do you find the same bits a tad uncomfortable? Other bits? No bits? Let us know in the comments!

Extra! – There’s Nothing “Only” About Being a Doctor + Our Gap Months
NEW VERITY ABOUT THE NEW DOCTOR!
It’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!
