Doctor Who Series 7 Roundtable: “The Angels Take Manhattan”
Every week, my buddies and I will discuss the new episode of Doctor Who. We call this the Doctor Who roundtable. Creative, huh? Cory: It's been a few days since the Doctor Who fall finale, "The Angels Take Manhattan." And I don't know about you three, but I'm still pretty sad. While we were ready for Amy and Rory to … Continue reading Doctor Who Series 7 Roundtable: “The Angels Take Manhattan”
Doctor Who Series 7 Roundtable: “The Power of Three”
Every week, my buddies and I will discuss the new episode of Doctor Who. We call this the Doctor Who roundtable. Creative, huh?

Every week, my buddies and I will discuss the new episode of Doctor Who. We call this the Doctor Who roundtable. Creative, huh? Cory: Another week, another standalone adventure for Doctor Who.

Doctor Who Series 7 Roundtable: “Asylum of the Daleks”
Throughout this series/season (whatever your preferred designation is) of Doctor Who, three buddies (Myc Wiatrowski, Tony Nagel and Travis Limbert) and I will chat about each new episode. These conversations are light and fun, but do feature a few Who super-fans, so don't expect criticism-devoid entries either. Here's the first one on last week's "Asylum of the Daleks." Cory: … Continue reading Doctor Who Series 7 Roundtable: “Asylum of the Daleks”

TV Surveillance Podcast Episode 11 — Steven Moffat, You Ignorant Slut
In this episode of the podcast, I'm joined by fellow BGSU Pop Culture MA student Myc Wiatrowski for a much delayed, but still very worthy discussion of all things Doctor Who, including the convoluted sixth season, the finale and why I prefer standalone episodes to whatever the hell Steven Moffat is trying to pull off … Continue reading TV Surveillance Podcast Episode 11 — Steven Moffat, You Ignorant Slut
