Radio Free Skaro #128 – In the Shadow of the Cyber-King

In a surprising turn of events, this week’s episode was chock full of news…an unwelcome development with a “The Next Doctor” commentary bearing down on the Three Who Rule like a Cyber-King hell-bent on justifying its own lack of continuity. Being the brave souls… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #128 – In the Shadow of the Cyber-King”

Radio Free Skaro #116 – Ghostly Matt-ers

While Warren battles gun-wielding, fez-wearing servants of Sutekh, Steven and Chris discuss the big news of the announcement of David Tennant’s replacement in Who’s eponymous role. The Two of the Three compare the nascent Mr. Smith’s ascension with the oncoming of past Doctors of… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #116 – Ghostly Matt-ers”

Radio Free Skaro #112 – Anticipointment

And so it’s come to this. At long last the RFS crew reaches “Journey’s End,” the final episode of Series Four, and a story that nicely sums up Who scribe Gareth Roberts term of “anticipointment.” So much potential, frittered away in a fruitless wasting… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #112 – Anticipointment”

Radio Free Skaro #111 – Swollen Mirth

More thrilling commentary, this time for the “Stolen Earth,” clearly the best roller coaster ride of Series 4, if not of the entire run of the new series. It’s all downhill from here though, as “Journey’s End” is coming up next, and we all… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #111 – Swollen Mirth”

Radio Free Skaro #110 – As the World Turns Left (and gets stolen at the end)

Radio Free Skaro #110 – Click here to listen The Three Who Rule were efficacious in their praise for Turn Left, a tour de force performance from Catherine Tate and the best part of Rose’s rather presumptuous arrival into Series 4. Of course, a… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #110 – As the World Turns Left (and gets stolen at the end)”

Radio Free Skaro #109 – Musings at Midnight

“Midnight,” Series Four’s “Donna-lite” episode, got a solid round of “well dones” from the Three Who Rule, due to some fine acting and gold old-fashioned claustrophobic writing, harkening back to the old days of silver jumpsuits and very limited sets. We also covered what… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #109 – Musings at Midnight”

Radio Free Skaro #108 – Hey, Who Turned down the Lights?

Chris ran into some serious technical difficulties this week, but eventually sucked up his pride and used a PC rather than his beloved Mac to deliver unto you, our loyal fans, a commentary of “Forest of the Dead.” And that’s it really, there was… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #108 – Hey, Who Turned down the Lights?”

Radio Free Skaro #107 – Absentee Tennant

Our commentary on “Silence in the Library” was upstaged somewhat by one David Tennant’s decision to quit the role of The Doctor after the four 2009 specials. Fandom was agog, aflame and otherwise a-twitter with speculation on who the next Doctor will be, and… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #107 – Absentee Tennant”

Radio Free Skaro #106 – The Unicorn and the zzzzzz…

Chris returned to the fold and lost no time flinging acerbic barbs in the direction of “The Unicorn and the Wasp,” quite possibly the low point of Season 4, and certainly a story we mostly ignored in our commentary. One can hardly blame the… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #106 – The Unicorn and the zzzzzz…”

Radio Free Skaro #105 – A Lump of Gold in a Sea of Poop

Steven and Warren braved the depths of mediocrity in order to bring you “The Doctor’s Daughter,” one of the lesser lights of Season Four. But after six months since our original viewing, it must be said that David Tennant rises to the occasion and… Continue Reading “Radio Free Skaro #105 – A Lump of Gold in a Sea of Poop”
