NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 367: "The God Complex" Is Up!

 
"Okay, this is bad. At the moment, I don't know how bad, but certainly we're three buses, a long walk, and eight quid in a taxi from good."
-- The Eleventh Doctor, Doctor Who: "The God Complex"

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're joined by special guest Holly Mac to discuss "The God Complex", the eleventh episode from Doctor Who Series 6 in 2011, featuring Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, Karen Gillan as Amy Pond, Arthur Darvill as Rory Williams, and David Walliams as Gibbis!

In this episode, Jesse, Holly and I discuss things like Jesse's wife Linda jumping out of plane, Holly keeping up on hockey, a Next Stop News Flash about two episodes of "The Daleks' Master Plan" being found, David Walliams appearing in the 1999 "Doctor Who Night" parody sketches, Jesse enjoying "The God Complex" more the second time, the homages to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, the episode's ending being too nebulous, "The God Complex" being pushed back to Series 6 from Series 5, writer Toby Whithouse wanting to buck the cynical trend of modern fiction portraying devout individuals in a negative light, Gibbis originally being a conservative blowhard human, Lucy Hayward's name being changed to avoid confusion with Big Finish audio companion Lucie Miller, the portraits on the wall including BBC Wales staff members, Amy's room being specified Number 7 to reflect her age when she first met the Doctor, "The God Complex" hotel being a space version of the Eagles' Hotel California, Jesse wanting unlimited DVDs or streaming with no responsibilities, Amy and Rory being very fleshed-out characters, Rory not being afraid of anything after traveling with the Doctor, how traumatic it is traveling with the Doctor, United States Presidents sympathizing with other United States Presidents, our theories on what the Doctor saw inside his room, the Doctor eyeing Rita as a potential companion, Matt Smith thinking the minotaur was comical, still not understanding why the Doctor can't go back to visit Amy and Rory after they left in "The Angels Take Manhattan", why the Doctor gave Amy and Rory a house and a sportscar, my Reverse the Polarity segment, new listener feedback from Dave Proctor and Sandi from Oregon, discussing another Second Doctor Big Finish audio next episode, and more!
