NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 128: "The Battle of Ravskoor Av Kolos" is Up!


"None of us know for sure what's out there.  That's why we keep looking.  Keep your faith. Travel hopefully.  The universe will surprise you...constantly."
--The Thirteenth Doctor to Andinio and Delph, Doctor Who: "The Battle of Ravskoor Av Kolos"

My partners in time Jesse Jackson and Karen Lindsay join me once again for a new episode of Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast!  This time, we review "The Battle of Ravskoor Av Kolos", the Doctor Who Series Eleven finale, featuring Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor, Mark Addy as Paltraki, Phyllis Logan as Andinio, and the return of Samuel Oatley as T'zim-Sha!

In this episode, Jesse, Karen and I discuss things like Next Stop Everywhere being a Whovian support group, BBC America's Doctor Who ratings improving 20% over Series Ten, the BBC chipping away at the number of episodes per season, Jesse not recognizing Mark Addy from Game of Thrones, Karen geeking out over Mark Addy in World of Warcraft, the Thirteenth Doctor geeking out over something to provide background exposition for the audience, wondering how the Ux reproduce, T'zim-Sha abusing the Ux's faith for his own advantage, criticism that the Thirteenth Doctor isn't "authoritative" enough, Series Eleven having a midseason lull, wondering what the Doctor actually looks at on her Sonic Screwdriver, Graham and T'zim-Sha's respective attempts at vengeance, Bradley Walsh being the MVP of Series Eleven as Graham O'Brien, Ryan finally giving Graham the fist bump and telling him that he loved him, Chris Chibnall not knowing what to do with Yaz, the return of the Sniperbots, T'zim-Sha having 3,407 years to plan and getting defeated rather easily, T'zim-Sha running out of face real estate for more teeth, our favorite quotes of the episode, a quick Reverse the Polarity segment, a special guest appearance by my cat Keiko, some feedback from Jo Wendi Karelja, Fred Firestine, Holly from Wisconsin and Paul from Australia, getting a positive response to our positivity, filling in the gap of not having a Doctor Who Christmas Special this year, wondering if "Resolution" isn't the full episode title for the 2019 New Year's Day Special, all of us getting on Podchaser, and more!
