NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 325: "Amy's Choice" Is Up!

 
"You said everyone here lives to their nineties. There's something that doesn't make sense -- Let's go poke it with a stick."
-- The Eleventh Doctor, Doctor Who: "Amy's Choice"

Hello again, everyone! My partner in time Jesse Jackson and I are back for another new episode of Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast! This time, we discuss "Amy's Choice", the seventh episode from Doctor Who Series Five in 2010, featuring Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, Karen Gillan as Amy Pond, Arthur Darvill as Rory Williams, and Toby Jones as the Dream Lord!

In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like verifying that no one is eating cats in Ohio, the 23rd anniversary of September 11th, the passing of actor James Earl Jones and comics artist John Cassaday, Jesse not remembering watching "Amy's Choice" before, the elegant simplicity of the Dream Lord, the metaphor of Amy's choice to commit to a life with Rory, Toby Jones as Arnim Zola and the voice of Dobby, the Eknodine being inspired by writer Simon Nye's childhood fear of old people, Arthur Darvill breaking the plank prop, explaining the Dream Lord's reference to the Doctor being a vegetarian, the 2015 Upper Leadworth setting, the Doctor missing the obvious that Amy is pregnant, the attack of the old people, Amy deciding the 2015 Upper Leadworth reality can't be reality because Rory was dead, the Dream Lord creeping on Amy after getting rid of the Doctor and Rory, Jesse's issue with the explanation for the Dream Lord, the Dream Lord throwing shade on the Doctor, the TARDIS bringing back the TARDIS manual after the Doctor keeps getting rid of it, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Polarity segment, new listener feedback from Dave Proctor, Sandi from Oregon and Holly Mac, Jesse joining Xan Sprouse and me on Drunk Cinema for the very first time, and more!
