Episode 67: Beeps, Boops, and Kazoos (Season 7 Retrospective)

Wow! Another season down, and this one has been wrapped up so soon – so, naturally, we’re embarking on our now-obligatory season retrospective. Season 7 was the beginning of a new era for the show – new Doctor, Earthbound storylines, and the consistent involvement of UNIT. What do the Watchers think of this brave new era – does the change in format pay off, or is it just Quatermass in Doctor Who cosplay?   Along the way, Reilly feels a strong need to act on his MORAL DUTY, Julie finds a way to talk about Jamie (even though he’s not in this season), Anthony comes up with a way to turn the show into Sliders, and Don espouses his love for Professor Stahlman. The entire crew repeatedly slate the music from Doctor Who and the Silurians.   Other media mentioned in this episode: Marvel’s What If (Disney+: http://www.disneyplus.com/) Quantum Leap: The Complete Series (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2VkD9pG | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3tfHY05) Sliders: The Complete Series (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3tflT1w | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3DZBSpF) Star Trek: The Original Series: The Complete Series (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2WXaVBy | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3tjWeEN) The Quatermass Xperiment (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3jRIw88 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/37HHEgt) Quatermass II (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2VNnpvJ | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3lZsL1v) Quatermass and the Pit (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3kW0x5y | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3h1BtZK) Kolchak: The Night Stalker: The Complete Series (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2WUfKvs | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3h5CZdp) The X Files: The Complete Series (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3h5Y8Em | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3n77nrt) The Room (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3BN60SS | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3kV6VtY)   As usual, you can also follow us and interact with us on our social media accounts - Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
