Episode 142 - The Death Eaters of Light

b'What a fascinating discussion this week\'s\\xa0Doctor Who episode lends itself to. Join Deb, Erika, and Tansy as we discuss women who are allowed to fail and still be heroes, the sexual politics of Romans, the Doctor\'s (possible?) impatience, Bill\'s outlook on history and its denizens, Nardole as a "space tourist", and much more. Erika, of all people, even has a cracktastic fan theory about the next season of the show. Incredibly unlikely, but kinda fun, depending on your outlook. What did you think about this story? Was it slight? Were the stakes high? Was the monster the point? Was the doctor impatient or irritable or something else? What\'s up with Missy? SO MANY QUESTIONS. Please feel free to play in the comment section like it\'s one big happy fandom sandbox. ^E Also covered: Tansy Kickstarts\\xa0a fabulous\\xa0speculative fiction anthology of diverse, challenging stories about gender and AI, which we have all backed, and you should too! attends the\\xa0Australian National Science Fiction Convention and won a Ditmar Award for Best Novella or Novelette for "Did We Break the End of the World?", from\\xa0Defying Doomsday!
