Two-minute Time Lord
Description:
Two-minute Time Lord is a commentary podcast about the BBC ' s popular family science fiction program, Doctor Who. We ' ll try to keep this context in mind as we review episodes, comment on the news of the moment, and otherwise pontificate: Doctor Who is not FOR a thirtysomething podcaster. It ' s for that nine-year-old behind the sofa. But his or her mum and dad have been invited along for the ride, as are those of us who were kids when Peter Davison first picked up a cricket bat. And we ' ll keep it to two minutes, because we ' re ALL in a hurry.

  • 2MTL 239: The All-Star Series 6.2 Roundtable (Time Dilation)

    9 October 2011 (4:28am GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 7 minutes and 1 second

    "After all, he wrote Coupling!"

    If it's the end of Series 6 (and Series 6.2, or 6.5, or whatever...) then it's time for another gathering of writers and critics to hash it all out. Kyle Anderson makes his second appearance on the All-Star panel, joined this time by Deb Stanish and Lynne Thomas! (Frank Collins and Teresa Jusino from 2MTL #216 had unfortunate schedule conflicts.)

    Why were parent-child relationships such a big deal this year? Are time travel plots getting TOO wibbly? Did Steven Moffat finally put an end to Romance in the TARDIS? (That's a pretty sizable "no" right there.) And what do we want from Series 7, whenever it surfaces?



  • 2MTL 238: "The Wedding of River Song"

    2 October 2011 (3:58am GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 4 minutes and 8 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Sometimes, Moffat episode titles are complete red herrings. Or not. Sometimes, Moffat-produced two-parters are complete red herrings. Sometimes, mysterious characters are exactly who they're implied to be. Or not. Somewhere, deep within a Teselecta, hapless technicians are studying osculation. And somewhere, staying up far too late, Chip is reviewing the Series 6 finale.

    (And so did the Guardian's Dan Martin.)



  • 2MTL 237: "Closing Time" for Doctor Who Confidential

    29 September 2011 (3:05am GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 6 minutes and 0 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Two, TWO podcasts for the price of one! How did "Closing Time" measure up to last year's "The Lodger," and how are those two episodes like a Doctor Who convention? Also, some thoughts about the cancellation of Doctor Who Confidential.



  • 2MTL 236: I Liked "The God Complex" and That's No Bull

    18 September 2011 (7:58pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 3 minutes and 41 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    "The God Complex" was inventively directed and balanced out my deepest criticism of last week's episode. I'm in my happy place again!



  • 2MTL 235: A Discordant Note on "The Girl Who Waited"

    15 September 2011 (3:44am GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 5 minutes and 34 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    On paper, "The Girl Who Waited" was brilliant. Karen Gillan? A revelation. So why did I take a 45-minute walk around the neighborhood, grinding my teeth, trying to figure out how I felt about the episode?

    Thanks to Huw at thirteenfaces.com for linking me to Emily Asher-Perrin's essay at tor.com on the relationship of the Doctor, and Doctor Who, to children. It was the whack on the side of the head that helped me understand my reaction.



  • 2MTL 234: Torchwood: Wrapping Up "The Gathering," "The Blood Line" and Miracle Day

    11 September 2011 (8:16pm GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 6 minutes and 21 seconds

    It's catch-up time as we take a look at the concluding episodes of Torchwood: Miracle Day, and render a verdict for the series. And demand that one of this year's debuting characters meets the Eleventh Doctor.

    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 4 minutes and 52 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    Some personal thoughts about parenthood, in light of an episode that was more about a Dad's fears than the monsters in the cupboard…

    A plea to Steven Moffat rounds out this review of the sometimes crack-tastic, sometimes out-of-left-field, wildly entertaining and frustrating resumption of Series 6.



  • 2MTL 231: Torchwood: "End of the Road" Reviewed

    28 August 2011 (4:16am GMT)
    Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 3 minutes and 45 seconds

    Direct Podcast Download

    After a couple of atypical episodes, "End of the Road" is on a more typical Miracle Day flight plan: talkier, more gradual. Matt Hills argues this is part and parcel of the show being a suspense thriller, not an SF action romp, and I agree. And yet, this slower episode gives me a chance to look at a few frustrations I have with a series I otherwise enjoy.



  • 2MTL 230: Torchwood: "Immortal Sins" Reviewed

    Whew.

    So. Was it good for you, too?

    Of course, curse me for not being able to single out a reason why it struck such a chord with me beyond the most obvious distinction between this and the previous episodes — besides John Barrowman finally coming off the sidelines, that is.

    (My son totally wanted me to make him into a Cyberman. Thanks, Luke!)

    (Torchwood being Torchwood, and Jack Harkness being Jack Harkness, this podcast is slightly more explicit than usual.)

    Archivist and Chicks Dig Time Lords co-editor Lynne Thomas joins me as we discuss the merits of the frequently-derided first season of Torchwood — thus bucking the conventional wisdom that it only "got good" with Children of Earth. Lynne contributed her essay on the subject, "Camp Noir," to Graeme Burk and Robert Smith?'s anthology Time Unincorporated 3.

    Also: Miracle Day Episode 4, "Escape to L.A." is reviewed.

    Thanks to a blogger conference call hosted by Starz and BBC Worldwide Productions, I had the chance to ask Russell T. Davies why he thinks Torchwood caught fire in the United States. Earlier, Jef Burnham from filmmonthly.com raised a question I also asked in 2MTL 219: what's the future relationship between Doctor Who and Torchwood?

    Special thanks to Chris Piers of Television Zombies for recording the call when I couldn't. I really wish he'd been called as well.

    Think of "The Long Game" as the mirror-universe version of "Torchwood: Children of Earth." Many of the same attitudes and philosophies Russell T. Davies portrayed in that later, much better work are present in "The Long Game." But in a cheap-sets far-future playground, it's much harder to muster finesse…

What worked and what didn't from "The Impossible Astronaut" to "A Good Man Goes to War"? Was Tom from The Doctor Who Podcast right about Series 6 being all about "identity"?

    One of the most fascinating things about "The Doctor's Wife" had little to do with its star writer — it was Matt Smith's excellent performance revealing the complex, powerful emotions buried inside the Eleventh Doctor.

    Fandom is so atomized: Take any two wildly popular genre figures such as "Doctor Who" and "Neil Gaiman" and you'll find many fans of one nearly unaware of the other. In this Time Dilation edition of 2MTL, Chicks Dig Time Lords co-editor Tara O'Shea and I take a walk down the the shelves full of Gaiman's prose, comics and screen work to provide a little explanation of why those of us in the middle of the Venn diagram are so excited.

    Some U.S. fans accustomed to waiting for iTunes or using "other means" to get their Who Fix (TM) found it hard to deal with commercials, promos and additions to the day-and-date broadcast of "The Impossible Astronaut" on BBC America.

    Best series opener yet? Debatable, but "The Impossible Astronaut" definitely benefited from, for the first time since 2005, not having to establish a new status quo (which even "New Earth" had to do given Tennant's comparatively brief screen time in "The Christmas Invasion," but I digress…).

    Where was I? Oh, yes — a series opener that, freed from having to Explain New Things, leaped straight into a story of heft and dread that will surely catch the attention of new viewers. Tick boxes were checked, and checked well — although there is ONE thing I'm disappointed about…

    Were you so saddened by the death of Ianto Jones in 2009's Torchwood: Children of Earth that it almost felt like you'd lost someone close to you?

    Or did you see the online reaction and hear about his Memorial Wall in Cardiff and wonder, "Where the HECK is this coming from?"

    Racheline Maltese, scholar and fan, wondered the same things about how people relate to stories in her paper, "Tangible Reality of Absence: Fan Communities and Mourning Fictional Characters," presented last July and now available online. I invited Racheline to talk about what it means to be an "enchanted believer" who reacts to a story as strongly as if it were a real-world event, and why Ianto was mourned by fandom but Owen and Tosh weren't.
