A queer woman's perspective on Doctor Who, both the classic and new series, as well as its various spin-offs and ephemera.

Dec 5, 2015

A little shorter of an episode than usual for me, but also one a bit on the political side of things this time around (yet again -- though hopefully this won't be a usual thing), here is my belated episode discussion of the recent Mark Gatiss story, 'Sleep No More'.

Inside you'll find some happy Jessica Jones gushing, some allusions to ancient rad vs. trad fandom debates, chat about transphobic microaggressions and internalized prejudice, and a wee bit of roller derby squeeing thrown in for good measure.

So, anyway, I hope you all will join me for my review and episode discussion. And, as always, glad to have you all aboard. Enjoy the ride!
