Two-minute Time Lord: A Doctor Who Podcast

Chip Sudderth

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.

    2MTL 488: Foundation and "Empire"

    “Empire of Death” epitomized RTD’s approach to season finales that he deployed to popular (if not always critical) acclaim during his first stint as showrunner. What happened this time?

  • 2MTL 485: Dot, Bubble, and Rogue

    This is a double edition of 2MTL covering “Dot and Bubble” and “Rogue,” two episodes that were absolutely tonally identical and left you feeling exactly the same way after each of them, amirite?

    2MTL 482: With "Boom," Steven Moffat Enters His "Midnight" Era

    “Pace and energy” and high concepts give way to a man with a foot on a landmine for the duration of the story. Tension-filled bottle episodes are rare for Doctor Who, although there are a lot of parallels between this one and 2009’s “Midnight.” How does Steven Moffat’s return to Doctor Who fit with his showrunner’s current experiment?

    2MTL 481: The Space Babies Speedrun
    "Would you like to see the baby?" Your answer probably had a lot to do with how you received "Space Babies," but the first-or-second episode of new Series 1 had a LOT to cram into a too-small container, and that was an issue as well.
