NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 318: "Rogue" Is Up!

 
"Do you ever wonder...why keep going?"
"Because we have to. We have to live each day because they can't."
-- Rogue and the Fifteenth Doctor, Doctor Who: "Rogue"

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 Holly Mac to discuss "Rogue", the sixth episode of Doctor Who Series 14, featuring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor, Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday, Jonathan Groff as Rogue, and Indira Varma as the Duchess of Pemberton!

In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like everything reminding Jesse of Bruce Springsteen, not discussing Rogue from the X-Men, "Rogue" being the return of a typical Doctor Who episode, Rogue not being a replacement for Captain Jack Harkness, Russell T Davies loving aliens based on animals, Jonathan Groff as Holden Ford on Mindhunter, Indira Varma as Suzie Costello on Torchwood, the three times the Doctor has shown interest in same-sex romance, the episode's orchestral covers of contemporary popular music, Richard E. Grant's Doctor from "Scream of the Shalka" being shown with other previous incarnations, the US version not including the dedication to William Russell, Rogue's potential as a recurring character, the Doctor recognizing that Rogue has also lost someone special, Rogue being a Dungeons & Dragons geek, wondering who hired Rogue to kill the Chuldur, wondering why Rogue sacrificed himself to save Ruby, Ruby forcing the Doctor to take a moment to process losing Rogue, Ruby being a Bridgerton fan, the Doctor thinking that Ruby had been killed, more of the Susan Twist subplot, Jesse cheating with Mr. Google, the impressive bird makeup for the Chuldur, wondering why the Zygons weren't used instead of the Chuldur, the Chuldur being revealed as cosplayers, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Polarity segment, new listener feedback from Ken from Chicago, Sandi from Oregon, Megan from Oregon, and Dave Proctor, calling our guesses for the two-part season finale, and more!
