NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 224: "The Time of Angels" Is Up!

 
"And two hundred years later, the planet was terraformed.  Currently, there are six billion human colonies."
"Whew!  You lot, you're everywhere.  You're like rabbits!  I'll never get done saving you."
-- Father Octavian and the Eleventh Doctor, Doctor Who: "The Time of Angels"

Hello again, everyone!  My partner in time Jesse Jackson and I are back with a new episode of Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast!  This time, we're joined by comic book artist and writer Thom Zahler to discuss "The Time of Angels" & "Flesh and Stone", the fourth & fifth episodes from Doctor Who Series Five in 2010, featuring Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, Karen Gillan as Amy Pond, and the return of the Weeping Angels and Alex Kingston as River Song!

In this episode, Jesse, Thom and I discuss things like Jesse wife Linda learning that Wednesdays is podcast night for Jesse, everybody getting the COVID vaccination shots, Thom's The Long Con card game, Thom's Love and Capes in the Time of COVID, comic book artist Joe Staton, where this story fits on the River Song timeline, "The Time of Angels" being Matt Smith and Karen Gillan's first produced episode, executive producer Piers Wenger thinking that the Delirium Archive needed to be explained, Alex Kingston not expecting to return as River Song, Audrey Niffenegger's novel The Time Traveler's Wife, Matt Smith coming up with the idea that River would land on the Doctor when she flew into the TARDIS, Matt Smith not sticking the "one thing you never put in a trap" cliffhanger, wondering if "The Time of Angels" would've been a David Tennant story had Tennant agreed to stay for a full fourth season, the horrible decision to have Amy try hard to have sex with the Doctor on the night before her wedding to Rory, Teri Hatcher being Jesse's freebie with Linda, the Eleventh Doctor and River Song being like the Fourth Doctor and Romana, River being a more believable romance with the Doctor than Rose, the setup for the "The Big Bang" with a future Eleventh Doctor talking to Amy, wishing Father Octavian had been around a little longer, Father Octavian being a military officer with a spiritual side, the Weeping Angels getting some cool new tricks, the Crack in Time being an elegant solution to Amy having a Weeping Angel inside her eye, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Polarity segment, new feedback from Dave Proctor and Holly Mac, Thom designing the original Next Stop Everywhere logo, having a foursome next week, and more!
