Doctor Who: Verity!

Not since "Invasion of Time" have we seen so much of the TARDIS interior. What did Deb, Erika, Kat, and Lynne think of it? Join us as we discuss tantalizing glimpses, underdeveloped characters, literal reset buttons, what dresses really mean, and where Kamelion puts his fingers. ^E Also covered [links on our site]: The Doctors Revisited - Fourth Doctor!

Doctor Who is spooky again! Did it work? Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we pick apart "Hide." What was explained well? What wasn't? Did this story pass the Bechdel test? If not, was that failure totally out of line? (We never do reach agreement there.) What do you think? ^E Also covered [links on our site]: The Doctor Who Spectacular!

This past week Mark Gatiss took us back to the 80s. Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy and find out how we felt about Duran Duran, Ultravox, submarines, and most importantly, the ICE WARRIOR. Who was thrilled? Who was meh? Who wants to make out with the set designer and director? All these things and more await you on this week's Verity! ^E Also covered [links on our site]: A Celebration of Doctor Wh...

“The Rings of Akhaten” divided opinion in fandom, and we here at Verity! were no different. Listen as Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy hash it out. Was it dumb? Fun? Or both? Did the Doctor face a massive soul-eating god? Or an ineffectual Great Pumpkin cosplayer? We answer these questions (or at least discuss them) and more! ^E Also covered: The Reign of Terror with a 3-year-old! Eastercon watches Doct...

Hooray!!!! It’s BACK people! Doctor Who has once again graced our screens, and we at Verity! couldn't be happier about it. Join Deb, Erika, Kat, and Lynne as we squee and chat and theorize and squee some more over Matt Smith, Clara, motorbikes, the TARDIS and much more.  (Ok, so it’s not 100% squeeful, but the squee factor is high for this ep. You've been warned.) ^E Also covered: David Tennant an...

With new episodes of Doctor Who on the horizon, Deb, Erika, Kat, and Tansy take some time to reminisce about series 7a and speculate about series 7b (not to be confused with serial codes 7A and 7B from "Trial of a Time Lord"). We also discuss costuming, cosplay, the rarity (or not) of watching Doctor Who in order, Big Finish audios, and perhaps most importantly, tapas. Resources for watching Docto...

This week we bring you an extra-long Verity! Extra!  At this year's Gallifrey One convention, Deb interviewed the delightful June Hudson, costume designer for Doctor Who in the late 70s and early 80s.  Listen as Deb, Erika, and Liz squee a bit about the experience, and then enjoy the interview itself. And by all means, check out June's website to see some of her fantastic designs.

It's official! We have finally made our way back to the classic series. This week Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne discuss the virtues (and possible lack thereof--though not according to Liz) of The Curse of Fenric. It's new to Deb, it might as well be new to Erika, and it's clear Liz and Lynne have seen it a few times.  Just a few... ^E Also covered: Ice Warriors! Doctor Who 50th Celebration, ExCeL Lon...

This extra-long Verity! Extra! picks right up where we left off last week. Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy leave the TV movie behind and spend some time talking about the bulk of the Eighth Doctor's work--the audios and books. There's even a brief mention of the comics. Erika reveals how little she knows about these (read: nothing), and many suggestions are offered regarding where to start. ^E Jumping-...

Our trek through the Doctors' eras finally breaks free of the confines of new Who, though we're technically not yet back in the welcoming arms of classic Who. This week, Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy natter on about the Eighth Doctor at such length that we run out of time to talk about his non-TV offerings. But fear not!  Next week we promise you'll have a nice juicy Extra! filled with lots more Eigh...

Hooray! Another Verity! Extra! That means lots of exclamation points! And also a fun little discussion! Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne chat about tat—toys, TARDIS keys, action figures, posters, playsets, and much, much more. What's your favorite piece of tat?  Or are you like Erika and dislike "stuff"?  Let us know! ^E

This week, Deb, Erika, Kat, and Lynne cover the 9th Doctor's era through the lens that is "Dalek." We also spare a few moments for "The End of the World." We spare at least as many moments arguing about whether there's hanky panky taking place in the TARDIS. What do you think is the most representative 9th Doctor Story? Let us know! ^E Also covered: Who Is the Doctor Gallifrey One An Adventure in...

This week's Extra! is a timely one. With Gallifrey Oneonly about a week away Deb, Erika, Kat, and Lynne discuss conventions--of the Doctor Who and the general SF variety. Connecting in person to fellow fans can be one of the best fan experiences, though it doesn't always work out that way. We chat about our con experiences in general and our thoughts on Gally specifically. Will you be at Gallifrey...

Time for another rousing discussion about which story best exemplifies a Doctor’s era. This time Deb, Erika, Liz, and Lynne tackle the 10th Doctor (not literally—as much as Lynne would probably enjoy that). “School Reunion” lies at the heart of the discussion, though “The Girl in the Fireplace” is touched upon and “Journey’s End” is defended quite ably. We start the show with some Who-centric item...

While counting down to the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who is a noble and important effort, we thought it was a good idea to take a few minutes from time to time to discus something else—in this case, something fun!  Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy dish about the duds of many a companion throughout the years.  The TARDIS wardrobe must've been one helluva place! Instead of the post here on the websit...

In this episode, Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Tansy bring you a rousing discussion about which story is the most representative of the Matt Smith era.  Though we focus on "The Eleventh Hour," we make room for chit chat about a few other episodes as well. What do you think is the most representative 11th Doctor story?  Let us know!  Kat will tell you you're wrong, and (though she didn't join us this we...

At last! An honest-to-goodness regular episode--and a very special one, as we have five of our six contributors on board at once!  Join Deb, Erika, Liz, Lynne, and Tansy as they talk about Matt Smith's third Christmas episode, the new companion, the new TARDIS, the new opening credit sequence, the newly re-alive Strax, and much much more. What better way to start 2013 than chatting about Doctor Wh...

Our first “proper” episode drops next week, but we want to introduce ourselves to you before we get into gear.   You’ll also hear a bit about what we hope to accomplish with Verity! We’re pleased to meet you!
