We re-watch the Series 2 penultimate and ultimate episodes. Starting with “Army of Ghosts” where the Doctor and Rose arrive back in London to do some laundry. Oh yeah! And visit with Jackie... and said ‘ghosts’... but mostly do laundry. Followed by “Doomsday” where the Who crew save the day but the Doctor loses his bestie. Whilst all this is going down, pre-Martha gets upgraded, Jackie and Pete get reunited but it feels so ewww, and Rose lives but dies inside because she will never ever get to see the Doctor ever again. Pinkie swear that will never ever happen. Ever. EVER!

We've re-watched the best of series 2 and now we re-watch the worst of said series. Sigh... First up “The Idiot’s Lantern” has a victim of familial abuse return to their abuser on the advice of the Who Crew. Next “Love And Monsters” is a Doctor-and-companion-lite episode which uncomfortably ends on a fellatio joke (?). We unfortunately end with “Fear Her” wherest we again revisit family abuse. Fortunately Denise showed up to give us a big virtual hug the only way she can: with her trademark snark. She must have responded to our '“Denise Signal”: the eye-rolling emoji shone in the night sky.

We continue our re-watch of the 2nd season with the two part introduction of the spaghetti-faced Ood. First up is “The Impossible Planet” where the Whosome Twosome land on the very possible space station with the aforementioned Ood giving off satanic possession vibes. Then we spelunk down to “The Satan Pit” confirming that the Devil made the Ood do it (Oodit?). Whilst all this is going down, the Doctor likely meets up with the artist-formerly-know-as-Satan, Rose impossibly has Satan as her co-pilot, and Scooti definitely gets no sympathy from the Devil.

Continuing our rewatch of Series 2 brings us the long awaited two-part return of... Pete Tyler! Also I guess the Cybermen... whatever Boomer (scoffs)... Whilst “Rise of the Cybermen” lands us in an alt-universe London where their Rose is a dog, Mickey is gay, and our Doctor reunites with his Potterverse father. “The Age of Steel” kills off alt-Jackie, Rickey (alt-Mickey), and the rising alt-Cybermen. You just know this Doctor is not unhappy about some of these developments.

Next up on our NewWho re-watch are arguably the two best episodes of series two. First is “School Reunion” where current companion Rose gets a ‘chip’ on her shoulder when she and the Doctor bump into past companion Sarah Jane. Awkward... Then we travel to the 51st century where a bickering Rose and Mickey nearly get harvested for spare parts whilst the Doctor transports back to the 18th century to get his groove back with a French courtesan. This podcast episode is definitely brought to you by couples therapy.

After concluding our Eccleston re-watch, we now begin our David Tennant reexamination. First up is “The Christmas Invasion” where a practically comatose Doctor saves the planet from said invasion... all whilst it’s just another day for the majority of the planet. Followed by "New Earth" where the Doctor and Rose visit New Earth (oh... clever...) 23 years after Earth original flavor blowed up real good. Finally ending on "Tooth and Claw" by traveling back to 19th century Scotland where they meet up with Queen Victoria, Ninja Monks (Monk Ninjas?), and a werewolf. You may be amused which of those become the sworn enemy of the Doctor.

We watch the First Doctor’s second serial featuring their first encounter with the Daleks titled “The Daleks”. But we’re watching the 60th anniversary version which chews up seven black and white 25 minute episodes and then regurgitates out one 75 minute coulorized version that still feels like it contains lots of filler. Whilst said story is being vomited onto our eyes, the Doctor lies to his companions to get his way and the Daleks lie to everybody to get their way. I guess some things just don’t change over 60 years of Whostory.

We watch “Joy To The World” (Series 15, Episode 0) where the Doctor exposes their always simmering underlying dickishness to this episode’s titular companion Joy in order to save the world from certain death in the form of an immature Star Seed (takes a deep breath...). Whilst said self-discovery is occurring, the Doctor has a ‘gap year’ with shoulda-been-companion Anita, Joy is treated poorly shortly before sacrificing herself while several other people also die, and we’re supposed to feel ‘joy’ for that?!? Um.. Merry Christmas?
