NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 298: "The Name of the Doctor" is Up!

 
"What I did, I did without choice."
"I know."
"In the name of peace and sanity."
"But not in the name of the Doctor!"
-- The War Doctor and the Eleventh Doctor, Doctor Who: "The Name of the Doctor"

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 special guest companion Holly Mac as we discuss "The Name of the Doctor", the thirteenth episode from Doctor Who Series Seven in 2013, featuring Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald, Alex Kingston as River Song, and the introduction of Sir John Hurt as the War Doctor!

In this episode, Jesse, Holly and I discuss things like our podcast going anywhere and everywhere, building some excitement for the upcoming 60th anniversary of Doctor Who, "The Name of the Doctor" being the end of Clara's "The Impossible Girl" storyline and the last appearance of River Song according to her timeline, the surprise debut of Sir John Hurt as the War Doctor, finally getting a new trailer for the 60th Anniversary specials, Neil Patrick Harris being confirmed as the Toymaker, Jemma Redgrave returning as Kate Stewart, wondering how Avengers Tower was moved to London to become UNIT's new headquarters, Richard E. Grant as the almost Ninth Doctor in Doctor Who: Scream of the Shalka and the conceited Tenth Doctor in Doctor Who: The Curse of Fatal Death, "The Name of the Doctor" featuring the First Doctor prior to stealing the TARDIS, my explanation for how Susan invented the acronym TARDIS, the Eleventh Doctor going to Trenzalore to save the Paternoster Gang from the Great Intelligence, Steven Moffat trying too hard to be clever with some of his scripts, the horrible 1998 Lost in Space movie, Clara realizing that the Doctor had more secrets that she thought, Sylvester McCoy's literal cliffhanger in "Dragonfire", our initial reactions to the War Doctor, how to explore more about the War Doctor, that awkward moment when River finds out that Clara is the Doctor's new companion, wanting to see more of the Strax Fight Club, Vastra killing Strax after Jenny dies, Vastra outsmarting Clara with the drugged letter, River's final conversation with the Eleventh Doctor, the Great Intelligence's brilliant plan to rewrite the Doctor's entire history...at the expense of the Great Intelligence's existence, wanting to see the Whisper Men again, the total cop out of having River whisper the Doctor's real name off camera, "Daleks" becoming a slur word, our favorite quotes of the story, my Reverse the Polarity segment, new feedback from Sandi from Oregon and Dave Proctor, Holly having some technical issues, wanting everyone to keep Xan Sprouse in their thoughts, and more!
