Episode 30: Martha, Martha, Martha

Otherwise known as "Martha goes Stupid". We review the first Martha Jones episode "Smith and Jones" in which RTD takes what started out as an intelligent, independent, career minded woman and turns her into a husband seeking drone. And Judoon. A platoon of Judoon on the moon.

Note: The episode of M*A*S*H Daisy mentions is "Point of View".

Nicola Tesla invented AC current. Thomas Edison invented DC. See Links for a cool article on their rivalry.

Episode 29: Adam and Jamie Aren't Here

Time windows. Time portals. Going from a spaceship in the 51st century to France in the 18th century. We're talking all about how we think this can be. And a whole lot of other stuff.

While we're talking about something from The Girl in the Fireplace, you don't need to have seen it to listen. There are no spoilers that weren't in the promos or the blurbs about this story. We give away no plot points or any real details about what goes on. Anything we do talk about is rather vague.

Next week, however, we will be reviewing Smith and Jones. It can be found for streaming on Amazon, free for Prime members and $1.99 for non-Prime. Link below.


WARNING: Contains rabbit chasing.
