2MTL 335: Bigger Than Life

Mirroring Doctor Who's enormous popularity, the Doctor himself has become a bigger and bigger deal in his own fictional universe, and the axis around which most of his stories have rotated in recent years. Is it time to dial things back? Maybe even go back to the old, formulaic days of having random adventures and moving on? See also Charlie Jane Anders's May 2013 column at io9.

Om Podcasten

Two-minute Time Lord is a commentary podcast about the BBC's popular family science fiction program, Doctor Who, and its spinoffs. We'll try to keep this context in mind as we review episodes, comment on the news of the moment, and otherwise pontificate: Doctor Who is not FOR a fortysomething podcaster. It's for that nine-year-old behind the sofa. But his or her mum and dad have been invited along for the ride, as are those of us who were kids when Fifth Doctor Peter Davison first picked up a cricket bat. And we will keep it to two minutes (roughly), because we are ALL in a hurry. Except when we have interviews.
