Sunday. #Andor

An interesting division in fandom now - which echoes the '90s - are those who think there must always be DW on the TV, no matter what, & those who are happy for the show to rest & come back when it's got some new, fresh ideas. Both camps very genuine, & understandable views.

Top notch Too Hot for TV on the coming Wilderness Yrs, via Time Inc & that Troughton Scarecrow comic! Really good & frank discussion from @toohot4tv.bsky.social & @OscarGrouchos on where the show was, & is. Didn't agree with all of it, but quality food for thought!And honest! No BS here!

Warriors of the Deep gets the 500 Yr Diary treatment from @flightthroughentirety.com; really enjoyed the discussion! I think it's really underrated, even if several key aspects fail! Don't disagree on the Silurians though; I think the redesign looks terrible! Simon/Peter's plot ideas are perfect!

@diddlydumpodcast.bsky.social give us their thoughts on Story & the Engine and the Song Contest ep! As always appreciate the mix of honest views from them!

One of the sad things about the Trump era is that everyone seems to have a Trump impression, and most of them are terrible.

My mood after recording our Andor S2 episode of ALTERNATE GALAXIES last night with @davidkitchen.bsky.social. There’s always something so free and fresh when we take on a show we don’t normally podcast about. It’s just really enjoyable to do sometimes. Out this Sunday. It’s a long one!

My 2nd big issue with Enemy of the World is that we’re almost at the end of Pt 4, and introducing the underground base; after two eps of making time this should have been much earlier.

One of my two big issues with Enemy of the World: we’re well into part 4, and after three eps of the audience seeing Salamander being a complete bastard, the Doctor is *still* faffing around saying he doesn’t know what to believe.

Those are in the can, and we had a great time recording tonight! You'll get to hear them across June!

First Doctor: Davo or Pertwee. Too young to be sure! Favourite Doctor: The First Favourite Companion: Dr Liz Shaw. Favourite story/episode: The Silurians.

Something Rob & I speculated on our @thedwshow.net Hot Take of Reality War was that enjoyment of the ep would depend a lot on how much the viewer cared about Poppy & her fate. Having now seen a lot of reactions, I think that really was a big factor.

Barely finished the @thedwshow.net Hot Takes, and tonight we're recording the next List Makers (Top 5 Davo stories!), and an Alternate Galaxies on Andor season 2! Better finish my list.......!

Reality War hot take from a large @flightthroughentirety.com crew does a very good job of discussing the ep, and showing who the "bonkers" style does work for, and doesn't work for. Which is very fair.

Burning suns to make dawns they'll never see.

My biggest takeaway from Reality War is that that Pythia & Looms are now canon, & I'm here for it! Other fans got Dimensions in Time last week, I'm taking this.... and.... loving it! 😂

The problem with this apparent ambiguity is I've already seen fans who very genuinely walked away thinking Billie clearly IS or clearly IS NOT the Doctor innocently come online to join the conversation, and find out they're already in the latest DW online culture war :/

An interesting @pulltoopen.bsky.social on Reality War where they pick all the same faults, but enjoy it a lot more than @thedwshow.net - especially the last 30 mins. Although @petepachal.bsky.social notes almost exactly the same points on Omega as I do! 😂 A fun, different perspective.

On @theiainmartin.bsky.social they tackle Halflife with @toohot4tv.bsky.social (who seems to be everywhere this month!) and, well, I know enough about this book now to know I won't be rushing to buy it! But why do they keep singing "Halflife" to each other? Is it to stop their brains seizing up?

🔥HOT TAKE - THE REALITY WAR🔥 Well folks, we've made it to the end of the line. The Reality War has been fought and we stop and ask, were there any winners? Stream our hot take from our website: thedwshow.net/2025/06/01/r... or from wherever you listen to podcasts. #DoctorWho #DrWho

Me sitting through that whole episode. #DoctorWho

The @thedwshow.net Hot Take of The Reality War is recorded... a bit longer than our usual Hot Takes, but a lot to discuss! With you in a bit!
