NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 313: "Midnight" Is Up!

 
"And you be careful, all right?"
"Aww, taking a big space truck with a bunch of strangers across a diamond planet called Midnight? What could possibly go wrong?"
-- Donna Noble and the Tenth Doctor, Doctor Who: "Midnight"

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 welcome new special guest companion Tara Giancaspro to discuss "Midnight", the tenth episode from Doctor Who Series Four from 2008, featuring David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, Catherine Tate as Donna Noble, Lesley Sharp as Sky Silvestry, and David Troughton as Professor Hobbes!

In this episode, Jesse, Tara and I discuss things like Jesse coming out to Columbus and having dinner with me, my wife and Xan Sprouse, Jesse seeing his 20th Bruce Springsteen concert in Columbus, how Jesse talked Tara into joining us on Next Stop Everywhere, Tara's past on Tumblr, Steven Moffat working better as a writer for Russell T Davies than as showrunner, Moffat's mishandling of the Doctor's female companions, Tara liking "Midnight" more after her rewatch than she did originally, Tara's love of the Merlin TV series with Colin Morgan, why Donna Noble was largely absent from this episode, "Midnight" being similar to the classic Twilight Zone episode "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street", Russell T Davies being inspired by the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Darmok", Christina Rossetti's poem "Goblin Market", the TARDIS not appearing for the first time since "Genesis of the Daleks" Part One in 1975, David Tennant's acting talent and range, the casual reference that Sky had a wife, the logistics of David Tennant and Lesley Sharp repeating one another, Professor Hobbes being a jackass to Dee Dee Blasco, wondering what happened to the Crusader 50 passengers after this episode, wondering why the Hostess didn't introduce herself at the beginning of the shuttle trip, my Reverse the Polarity segment, new listener feedback from Dave Proctor, Holly Mac, and Sandi from Oregon, offering Tara our services to unload about Doctor Who, Holly Mac and Rachel Frend joining us to discuss brand-new Who, and more!
