benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Uh, hello and welcome to Girls.

2

Don't Look at Explosions.

3

I'm a guy.

4

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

that's pretty funny too.

5

Hello and welcome to Cool Girls.

6

Don't Look at Explosions, the

podcast that is usually watching

7

Dude TV and making fun of it.

8

But today we are committed to the

bit and we're finishing this out even

9

though I have no idea what's going on.

10

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Oh, for sure.

11

I, and

12

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

I'm Laura.

13

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

I am Ben.

14

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Nice to see you, Ben.

15

Our favorite honorary cool girl.

16

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Well, I, I'm the one who gave you

17

guys your first mission, although, uh,

18

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

It's true.

19

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

that audio seems to

20

have been lost to time.

21

Uh,

22

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

really?

23

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

It's okay.

24

It's not a big deal.

25

Uh, basically it was just me

being a giant nerd and like

26

being like, it be this thing?

27

Could it be this thing?

28

Nope.

29

It's airwolf.

30

And, uh, we've seen how that's gone.

31

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah, yeah.

32

It's almost over

33

as of this time of recording.

34

Yeah.

35

Uh, thanks for the idea for a podcast.

36

We appreciate you.

37

Actually, it was born of this fairy

38

thing, wasn't it?

39

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

This is, this is the anniversary of

40

the three of you recording together.

41

It was very, very fun.

42

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

43

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

and it, it also turnabout because you

44

guys recorded an episode of Viper.

45

And then we came back and

actually watched Viper.

46

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Went around full circle to Viper.

47

Yep.

48

Finished up that, haven't you?

49

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

we have our go back episode and that's it.

50

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Okay.

51

Yeah.

52

About done with

53

that too.

54

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

a movie that we I watched and as

55

of recording, Jair still hasn't.

56

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

You know what you can always do, right?

57

Because we've had this happen

on the cool girls where there

58

was a little mix up Oopsie

59

doodle, and we just were told

to the other person about it

60

for a whole episode of podcast.

61

So that's an option.

62

You couldn't just make the episode

you telling Jair about the movie.

63

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Uh, that might be the only thing worse

64

than watching Max Payne is hearing

somebody tell you the plot of Max Payne.

65

Uh.

66

So I'm actually, I don't hate it.

67

Uh,

68

because it's not like your fair's getting

off, like getting off easy, you know?

69

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Right.

70

It's even

71

worse.

72

Yeah.

73

Yeah.

74

That's, that's what we're about here

at what happened here, productions,

75

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

How can we make, how can

76

we punish our friends?

77

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

and make it worse.

78

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Yep.

79

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Okay.

80

So we're supposed to be

finishing out the bit,

81

right.

82

So what is your background with Dr.

83

Hugh?

84

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

My background with Dr.

85

Who is almost nothing.

86

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

87

Same.

88

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

have seen, I believe, two episodes of Dr.

89

Who and one of them, or I believe

I've watched both of them with Jair.

90

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Mm-hmm.

91

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

of them was like the big

92

premier win, I believe.

93

Matt Smith took over.

94

I was at a, house where everybody's

like, oh my God, we have to watch this.

95

And I'm like, will this

mean anything to me?

96

And it didn't.

97

Uh,

98

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918: Uh,

99

much like today,

100

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

and then the other one, uh, Jair

101

and I used to travel for work and

in one of those situations he was

102

like, alright, Ben, I'm making you

watch my favorite episode of Dr.

103

Who.

104

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Uhhuh?

105

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

And it was, it was all right.

106

Uh, the problem was it doesn't

make sense because the main

107

character has a time machine.

108

Um, the whole, the whole overarching

plot is there's a weird spaceship

109

that keeps having the doctor

interact with Madam de Pompadour

110

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Okay.

111

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

And like he keeps

112

falling in love with her.

113

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Okay.

114

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

by the time he gets through the end

115

of this weird derelict spaceship and

there's weird stuff going on, she's

116

old and has already been like with,

you know, the, the mistress to the King

117

of France for, for 50 years and had to

keep living her life because this guy

118

just pops in through the fireplace every

couple of years because of reasons.

119

And she's like, I'm sorry, I

had to keep living my life.

120

And he is like, I

understand you're old now.

121

And it's like, but you

have a time machine.

122

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918: Uh,

123

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

You, you could be like, and see

124

you tomorrow, that is for me, it's

tomorrow for you because time machine.

125

And it's

126

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

127

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

okay, we don't get like the interesting

128

metaphysical and like relationship thing

of like, what happens if you fell in

129

love with somebody, but you only see them

every 27 years or, you know, whatever.

130

And how would that, you know, how

would that, you know, impact a person?

131

It's like, that's cool.

132

Then he gets back into

his flying time machine.

133

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Right.

134

Crucial point.

135

Yeah.

136

Yeah.

137

Uh, time machines make TV difficult,

138

and I think franchises have

discovered that, but I feel like Dr.

139

Who is just like, fuck it

140

and leans into everything.

141

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Well, uh, I, I will say though,

142

I do have experience with the

TV show, torch Wood, which

143

is the doctor who

144

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

spinoff

145

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

starring the third guy who's

146

with our team in this episode.

147

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Okay.

148

I had a feeling there was

something about this third guy,

149

but I was like, oh, I don't know.

150

It's, I got nothing.

151

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

yeah.

152

Uh, 'cause like there's, there's

a weird, magical guy who can't die

153

and they make, keep making like

weird oblique references to that.

154

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918: Uh,

155

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

He's the main of a different TV show

156

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918: We

157

can talk about that more when we get

158

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

I've seen.

159

made two seasons and then it stopped,

and then it came back for a while and

160

they made another season in a movie.

161

And yeah.

162

Uh, so not nearly as much going on

as like there's 5,000 episodes of Dr.

163

Who,

164

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Right.

165

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

but I have seen, I'm like the only person

166

who I've seen more torch wood than I have.

167

Dr.

168

Who?

169

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

170

That's got to be an extremely

small cross section of the

171

population that watches both.

172

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

yeah.

173

What is

174

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

seen exactly one episode of Dr.

175

Who, uh, oh, I guess now I've seen two.

176

Before this, I had seen exactly

one, and it was the one that, it

177

was, I believe, Christopher Kelson.

178

Is that his name?

179

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Yes.

180

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

That kind of, it came back again

181

like when we were college age.

182

Right.

183

With him.

184

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

of the new wave

185

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

The new doctors.

186

Yeah.

187

And I believe it's like

the first episode with him.

188

Not a hundred percent sure,

but it's in his season.

189

If it, if it's not that,

you know, or seasons.

190

I don't know how many he had.

191

Um,

192

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

but I'm not sure.

193

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

and it's the lady with the stretched out.

194

She's just basically skin on a, on like a

195

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Like she's being tanned.

196

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

197

She's like tan skin.

198

Um, she's a, just a face

that's been stretched out.

199

She was so obsessed with not

being wrinkles that she's just

200

a stretched out skin face.

201

Uh, that's all I remember about that

episode that I believe Christopher

202

Kelson was in it and there was

a stretched out skin face lady.

203

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Gross.

204

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

So, great context to come into the third

205

part of this three parter, at least.

206

This is David Tenet,

207

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Yes.

208

And I do know, I, I, I am

familiar with David Tenet, like

209

I've, I've seen fright Night.

210

Yeah.

211

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Okay.

212

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

who's a fan of David Tenet is

213

like, that's the reference you're

making, Ben, how very dare you?

214

And I'm like, sorry,

I've seen Fright night.

215

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

This would be the other reference.

216

Right.

217

Everybody knows

218

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Well,

219

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Who David Tenet

220

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

And he was, he was In Jess,

221

uh, in, uh, Jessica Jones,

222

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Okay.

223

Okay.

224

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

It absolutely horrifying Bad guy

225

performance in that, uh, like it's great.

226

Um,

227

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

228

I feel like he, he can

be a little unhinged.

229

That could be a thing.

230

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

he's a great actor when you

231

can see his face, like he's

in this episode, technically,

232

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

233

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

like there could have been a different

234

person under the David Tenet old mask, and

235

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

we would have no

236

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

know.

237

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah

238

Yeah.

239

Yeah.

240

Should we tell the people what we're

watching, we're reviewing today,

241

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

We are watching Doctor Who season

242

something, episode something.

243

I didn't write that down.

244

The last of the time.

245

Lords

246

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

season three, episode

247

13 is what I wrote down.

248

But the more I think about it, I'm

like, there's so many seasons of Dr.

249

Hoo.

250

There's no way It's season three, so

it's through season three of something

251

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

maybe season three of the new run.

252

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

maybe.

253

I don't know the last of the time.

254

Lords is the important part.

255

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

it is the one that happens right

256

before that year's Christmas special.

257

I know because of the Stinger

at the end of the episode.

258

Uh,

259

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918: I

kind of went into the next episode 'cause

260

I was like, what the fuck is going on?

261

And then that's what I found out.

262

Okay.

263

So they open with a recap that I did

not understand, except that I was like,

264

oh yes, this is a David Tenet episode.

265

Good.

266

Good to know.

267

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

And it is like, I will say I do

268

have a bit of Dr who lower that.

269

Like I just know from osmosis.

270

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Uh huh.

271

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Where it's like, he's one of, I knew

272

he was one of the last of the time

Lords, so I get the idea that like,

273

oh, hey, there's one other time, Lord.

274

And he happens to be a giant dick.

275

Uh,

276

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Mm-hmm.

277

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

that's, that's this is going.

278

Uh, and then we've got our, our recap, we

saw Captain, uh, captain Jack, who is John

279

Barrowman, who is one of those guys where

it was like the internet nerd community

280

loved him until he got canceled because it

came out that he just like, would not stop

281

exposing himself to people on, on sets,

282

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918: Oh,

283

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

but he was just, he was

284

also just like, what?

285

I'm just a, , artistic,

uh, homosexual scam.

286

It's just fine.

287

It's like, no, you're still

showing your dick to people, dude.

288

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

You, you still gotta keep

289

certain things under wraps, guy.

290

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

It's not sexual.

291

No, it, it's still gross.

292

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

It's, it's still unconsensual.

293

Yeah.

294

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Um, so I

295

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Doesn't matter how you beat it.

296

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

I was bummed out 'cause he was one of

297

those actors I really liked for a while.

298

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

They seemed vaguely entertaining

299

in this for me, having no idea what

he was doing or why he was here.

300

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Yeah.

301

But then after our, our recap, we get

a interstellar warning, Hey, soul three

302

is closed, which I appreciated Earth

getting the, uh, the Star Trek treatment

303

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918: Mm.

304

Yeah.

305

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

like, oh, we're on Viridian

306

two, and it's just like, that's

not what we call it, man.

307

Um,

308

how about you ask us what

our planet's name is?

309

Viridian two.

310

It's in the map.

311

Um,

312

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

We just should standardize everything

313

right in the and just be soul three.

314

Yeah.

315

Uh, yeah.

316

We're opening on this sweet earth and,

uh, it's one year after something,

317

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Yes, I'm

318

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

all that jazz.

319

Mm-hmm.

320

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

episode, but, uh, until our recap

321

happens, like I, I'm assuming that

we don't have a year of Martha

322

Jones like being a wandering Ronan.

323

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Uhhuh.

324

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

which would be cool if we did,

325

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

326

She seems pretty deep.

327

Yeah.

328

Uh, this, we get this Tom

Milligan guy with her and they're

329

trying to get to some professor.

330

I don't know if we've seen

professor before this or not.

331

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

I was really worried at the start of this

332

episode though, because we just have a

boat pulling up and a woman gets out of

333

it and this person goes, hi, I'm Tom and

there's no need for me to ask who you are.

334

And I'm please do.

335

I don't know who you are.

336

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

I need some help here.

337

Tom

338

give me something.

339

Just a, just a grain of context, sir.

340

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

But then he immediately goes,

341

you are Martha Jones and you

are going to save the world.

342

And I'm like, thank you

for setting up the stakes.

343

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Thank you.

344

Appreciated.

345

Yeah.

346

So off to save the world, I guess.

347

Um, did you love the

aircraft carrier in the sky?

348

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

I did.

349

I was

350

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

351

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

lands on it because like, this

352

Like I understand people love Dr.

353

Who, Dr.

354

Who like for a giant three parter,

this looks like it was made for 50

355

pounds and like we can make you a

CGI like a CGI, uh, HEA carrier.

356

Nothing's landing on that.

357

Um.

358

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

yeah, yeah.

359

Don't, don't ask for anything more.

360

You're gonna need more budget, right.

361

Uh, and we can't.

362

Put any budget toward landing

aircraft on this aircraft carrier.

363

'cause we got all these

robot balls we gotta make.

364

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Yes.

365

Also, we licensed a Scissors sister song,

and we have a full blown music video as

366

the master dances around to the song.

367

I can't decide which delighted me

as a person who loves that song.

368

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

I didn't clock the reference,

369

so I'm really glad you did.

370

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Yeah.

371

It's a,

372

it, it,

373

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

a bunch.

374

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

it is a, like real song

375

that they had to license.

376

So, uh,

377

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

378

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

it was interesting that just like in

379

the middle of this, like five, first

five minutes of our episode, it's just

380

like, and we wanna spend at least 90

seconds with our bad guy dancing around

381

to a song about murdering people.

382

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

383

I really avoided calling him the master

'cause I was like, I don't like that.

384

That's not happening over here.

385

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Yeah.

386

Uh.

387

I understand it's a different

country and a different culture.

388

Uh,

389

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Still don't like it, especially

390

when he's got black ladies

running around as his maids.

391

Don't like it.

392

Don't like it.

393

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Um,

394

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Uh, yeah.

395

So at this point I wrote,

is this aged up David Tenet?

396

Because I couldn't tell who the

hell this was supposed to be.

397

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

We've got very old David Tenet living in

398

a, like children's TP in a corner, uh,

399

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

400

He's

401

got a wheelchair.

402

Right.

403

Uh, I guess I was like, well he's

made this other guy really mad 'cause

404

he's about to fire as he missiles.

405

Um, in 24 hours

406

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Yes.

407

Gotta give you time.

408

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

409

Gotta prepare these missiles.

410

Uh, but old David Tenet gives some

kind of like little hand signal

411

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Yes.

412

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

this lady

413

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

of hand signals.

414

He, he holds up three fingers.

415

And so everybody knows the

resistance starts at three

416

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918: Uh,

417

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

and then somewhere, somewhere else.

418

Katniss Everdeen is like, what?

419

Uh,

420

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

I was about to say something about that.

421

It's a very good, uh, good signal.

422

Yeah.

423

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

so I get to, I'm gonna tell

424

you a fun story, Laura.

425

I hope you'll appreciate.

426

Uh, read the first Hunger Games as a,

like, Anne had read them and loved them,

427

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Uhhuh.

428

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

and was like, alright, my, my

429

girlfriend likes these books, you

know, they're young adult books,

430

but you know, we can have fun.

431

Uh, and I read the first one.

432

I'm like, really enjoyed that.

433

Like, I'm

434

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Uhhuh

435

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

like, in my head I'm like thinking,

436

oh, and like, we've got a, this

would be a great anthology series.

437

Like our next book goes to a

different Hunger Games and we

438

follow a different protagonist

and we see like what's going on.

439

And I'm calling, uh, Gloria Ann.

440

I believe I was on Christmas break

having finished, you know, I borrowed

441

her copy and I read it and I'm

like, yeah, I enjoyed it a lot.

442

Like I'm really excited

to read the next one.

443

Like, unless it's oh, and it's the

super Secret 75th Hunger Games and, uh,

444

it's Tournament of the Champions and

445

sort of dumb bullshit like that.

446

And she just gets real

quiet and I'm like, oh no,

447

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

it is that it is exactly that.

448

Yep, yep, yep.

449

No, the first one I really loved, like

the world building and stuff of it,

450

and I was like, yeah, it's really neat.

451

And then like, as we do the very

tropey end of the time, and I was

452

the young adult I was targeted to

at the time, like love ly stuff.

453

I was like, I don't,

it doesn't make sense.

454

I don't like it.

455

But I still read them all, and I still

watched all the movies, so here we are.

456

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

read the whole series and I did get a bit

457

incredulous as I'm just like, how are they

shooting down planes with bows and arrows?

458

I understand there's special

bows and arrows, but still,

459

um, hey, we, need to have your

special skills still be relevant.

460

And it's like, but this is a future

war and you've got bow and arrow.

461

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

462

Yeah.

463

It's not the like steepest, sharpest

decline of those type of books.

464

So that.

465

Okay.

466

Anyway, we've got hand signals

just going off all over the place

467

because three o'clock is the time.

468

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

And then we cut over to Martha Jones

469

and they're spying on spaceships.

470

And it's just somebody who is

doing a very bad job in a real time

471

strategy game where it's just like

missile silo next to missile silo.

472

And it's like, you gotta

space these out, dude.

473

Like,

474

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Uh huh.

475

Yeah.

476

Did you never replace sim city?

477

Like you put some stuff too

close together, it doesn't

478

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

the city council is not pleased.

479

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Mm-hmm.

480

They are so mad.

481

There's one of 'em who's

always mad though, I think.

482

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Mm-hmm.

483

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

484

Uh, so the robot balls accost them while

they're watching these missile silos.

485

Uh, it turns out they can only see Tom.

486

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Yes.

487

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

So Martha's got selective visibility.

488

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

is neat.

489

Uh, also drops that she's been, uh,

she's met Shakespeare and I'm like,

490

why are we not watching that episode?

491

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

It wasn't part of a three parter,

492

But you should definitely have

a three parter about going back

493

in time to meet Shakespeare.

494

Right.

495

gotta be full of shenanigans.

496

Yeah.

497

Yeah.

498

Okay.

499

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

I could absolutely write a, a two-part

500

episode where somehow the doctor

accidentally inspires fall staff or

501

something like that would be fun.

502

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah, I would, I would watch that.

503

Uh, there was a steamy guy

locked up in a steamy place.

504

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

is Captain Jack his thing

505

is that he can't die,

506

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Okay.

507

And so,

508

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

to.

509

Like he gets killed a couple of times

in this episode, but we never see it.

510

And

511

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

oh, I hadn't noticed.

512

Yeah.

513

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

was really worried about, about you,

514

uh, because we get this bit here

where, uh, they, they have their, their

515

attempted sabotage and they're stuff

and uh, uh, it fails really quickly.

516

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Oh, yeah.

517

The coup is like nothing bad, bad shot

518

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

John Berryman or Captain Jack character,

519

uh, he breaks out and immediately is

accosted by a bunch of guys with guns.

520

And then he goes, oh no, not again.

521

he's going to get murdered again.

522

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918: Oh.

523

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

wake back up after a few minutes 'cause

524

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Mm-hmm.

525

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

he can't die.

526

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

See, having not had any context on

527

this character, I did not even know

528

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Nope, you wouldn't.

529

would you think that?

530

would be absolutely insane.

531

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

because you could say, oh no, not again.

532

And it's just like, well,

they captured me again.

533

God dang it.

534

You know?

535

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

That would make the most sense.

536

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

537

And all this like attempted coup old

David Tenet tries to get the master with

538

the sonic screwdriver, but it doesn't

work, and he gets slapped in the face.

539

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Because it is, uh, identity triggered

540

and he can't, he can't zap him with it.

541

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Mm-hmm.

542

And so for some reason it's identity

triggered not to David Tenet anymore.

543

'cause that was true.

544

That was his thing.

545

But I don't know,

546

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

I'm guessing they both have one.

547

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

maybe they both have it.

548

Yeah.

549

Who

550

knows my

551

Or maybe he got his and he retooled

it or something, I don't know.

552

Um.

553

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

we also find out TV does

554

not work after this year.

555

Uh, and our Mrs.

556

Countdown.

557

Which is a person who loves eight

out of 10 and Cats does countdown.

558

I appreciated the reference.

559

Um,

560

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

561

Uh, she's gonna somehow intercept

a transmission on this tv.

562

Uh, I'm not sure who the

master is talking to.

563

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

yeah, I don't know.

564

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

yeah.

565

Uh, uh, but he sonic screwdrivers,

David Tenet with, in this

566

transmission in a totally non-serious

animation, like this is very bad.

567

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

This is

568

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Well, is it bad or is it like this?

569

I think this show is just campy.

570

Right.

571

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

bad.

572

is David Tenet flail acting,

573

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918: Uh,

574

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

that.

575

It is just like, okay, we've

got you in like a burlap, sacks

576

worth of makeup here, and then we

577

need you flail and flail and then

fall off camera, and then we're

578

going to replace you with a.

579

CGI Parrot version of yourself.

580

Uh,

581

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

And we're gonna speed up all

582

your flailing really fast too.

583

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Like they weren't doing how many

584

favors, but it's also just like,

what do you do with that as an actor?

585

Like,

586

alright, and I'm zapping you

with a ray makes you age 900

587

years and act, and I'm like, I, I

don't know what to do with this.

588

Like, what does aging feel like?

589

I don't know.

590

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Apparently it's a seizure.

591

Uh, and suddenly he's smigel

like is awful, awful, awful.

592

Uh, but Martha is not phased by this.

593

She's just happy that he's alive.

594

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

we also know that he has whispered

595

something to her and it is a secret.

596

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Mm-hmm.

597

And there's something he was gonna say to

the master, and the master got mad about

598

that

599

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

keeps saying like, you know

600

what I'm going to say to you?

601

And the master's like,

nah, no, I'm, I'm evil.

602

And, uh

603

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

it's like, I guess it can't be

604

like, you know, magic words that

take away your power or something.

605

Or you just like cut out his tongue.

606

Right.

607

So it's just something

that's making him mad.

608

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Yes.

609

But he doesn't seem to be

a hundred percent stable.

610

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Oh no.

611

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

like

612

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

yeah, yeah.

613

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

he, he could just be saying like,

614

the endless soup and salad at at

Olive Garden isn't actually endless.

615

They only give you seven.

616

And he would be like, no,

617

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Wait, is that true?

618

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

I don't believe so.

619

But like, I was

620

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

I don't

621

know

622

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

to come up with an example

623

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

I if I'm eating that much soup, salad

624

and breadsticks at Olive Garden, like

something is horribly wrong in my

625

digestive system, that I could fit

more than seven of those in there.

626

Uh, so the professor says the

satellites are keeping people scared.

627

There's like 15 satellites in

particular, I guess, that are doing this.

628

I don't remember exactly.

629

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Yeah.

630

Uh, did you catch the

name of the satellites?

631

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Was it Archangel?

632

Yeah, it was.

633

Look at that.

634

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

I, I, I dunno which side the

635

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

The eye patch

636

is

637

yeah.

638

Yeah.

639

It moves according to my head, Canon.

640

Uh, I don't know if that's

actually true or not.

641

Um, the, the Archangel tie in to Airwolf

and then there's another tie in to

642

my current show, BSG, but we're not

quite there yet, but we'll get there.

643

But we do have bad robots.

644

So that's a start, right?

645

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

And what, uh, yes.

646

Uh, so we then cut back to our, our

resistance on the ground, and we've

647

got Tom, who's just popping shots,

uh, drawing the attention of one of

648

our, uh, lightsaber training spheres,

uh, that comes flying after him.

649

And I.

650

He runs him through a gate where

the, our doctor who has discovered,

651

Hey, one of these got zapped

by lightning and it killed it.

652

So how about we zap it with

lightning and, uh, they're able to

653

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

I just have lightning around the back.

654

Yeah, just get him, get him back there.

655

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

And so they zap it and now they

656

I don't know if anybody else remembers

those toys or those candies that got

657

existed in the nineties before they

were banned along with the Kinder egg,

658

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

The kinder egg is still around though.

659

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

but not in its true German form.

660

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah, I, I actually don't know that.

661

I just know that you can get them at Aldi.

662

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Yes.

663

But the ones we have now are

one half is chocolate the toy.

664

The real German ones that I got, I,

I was able to get once because my dad

665

had, uh, got sent to work in Germany for

six months, uh, for the auto industry.

666

It was.

667

It was interesting, uh, like, Hey, my mom

had to six months, be a single parent.

668

It's like, yeah.

669

And that's how some people

just live their lives.

670

You know, I'm not

671

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

672

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

like, I know it was her.

673

And so anybody who's doing it without

an, you know, just per perpetually props

674

to you, stay strong, you're awesome.

675

Um, but as part of that, my dad sent

home real, you know, illicit kinder eggs

676

where the toy was actually inside of it.

677

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Illicit Kinder Eggs would be a good title.

678

I'm just saying.

679

Uh

680

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Eggs is a great title, Beth.

681

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918: uh.

682

So we go back to the master and.

683

He's going on talking to Smigel about

the drums have called him to war.

684

I don't know what that means, but I

bet somebody else on our podcast does.

685

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Well, I mean, we've all heard, uh,

686

the, the opening to two princes by

the spin doctors and it didn't make

687

me want to commit massive universal

688

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Right?

689

Yeah.

690

Yeah.

691

Something else going on here.

692

Uh, but they're launching tomorrow

and, I don't know why I wrote this,

693

but I said I guess David Tenet

loves the balls referring to the

694

robot balls because I think somebody

says something about you love them.

695

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

He's like, you love them,

696

but look what I've done with

them and I've corrupted them.

697

And uh,

698

David Tenet loves the balls.

699

Also a strong contender for a title.

700

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Look at us.

701

Just whipping 'em out.

702

Um, so the

703

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

are we, John Barrowman.

704

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

The professor is whipping out

705

the balls she cracks one open.

706

Uh, and I feel like she should be

wearing goggles when she does this right.

707

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

and

708

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Safety equipment, safety first.

709

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

and

710

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

You know

711

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

what's in the ball?

712

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

what's in the ball.

713

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

It's a face.

714

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

It's a meat robot.

715

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Battlestar Galactica

716

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Battle of star Galactica.

717

It all comes together and it start,

starts talking to Martha Jones.

718

yeah, she taught them how to fly

719

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

My guess

720

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

sky is made of diamonds.

721

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

episode before our three parter,

722

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Hopefully sometime before there

723

should have been an episode with this.

724

Uh, and then she tells everyone else

that these are humans from the future.

725

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

1 trillion.

726

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Wow.

727

Cool.

728

Did you, okay.

729

We talked about this on our other

podcast that we recorded the other day,

730

uh, that you watched a lot of Futurama,

you've seen the time machine episode.

731

Right?

732

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

have.

733

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

I really like the song in the year 25.

734

25, 25, and then the montage

that they do with that.

735

So much fun.

736

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Uh, we're not gonna slow down or

737

just, uh, we're not gonna stop.

738

Just slow down so I

can shoot Hitler again.

739

Oh, no, I got Eleanor Roosevelt.

740

Uh,

741

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

I think maybe they go to

742

the year 1 trillion in that.

743

I'll have to go back and watch it.

744

To, to verify.

745

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

I'm not sure, but I know at one

746

point were enslaved by a giraffe.

747

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Mm-hmm.

748

Yeah.

749

Uh, so

750

then the master starts telling us about

taking Lucy to the end of the universe.

751

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

because he

752

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Oh, also,

753

mm-hmm

754

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

the doctor broke it, so it can

755

only go to the last place it went

Being the year 1 trillion, I.

756

And back to today.

757

So we can only hop between two spots.

758

And we

759

found

760

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

point out Oh

761

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

the paradox device, which

762

is the Hey nerds, shut up.

763

Um,

764

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

yeah, the shut up nerd device.

765

Uh, I also wanna point out that Lucy

is the sexy blonde and the red dress.

766

So

767

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Another Battlestar Galactica.

768

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

yeah,

769

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

it's for me, like I, I'm compelled to

770

say that the Vulcan science directed,

uh, directorate has, uh, confirmed

771

that time travel is impossible, so,

772

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

773

So, uh, so in the year 1 trillion, they

saw the utopia project, which is like

774

apparently humanity's last attempt to save

themselves from the end of the universe.

775

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

there's no way we're making

776

it to the year 1 trillion.

777

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918: I

778

don't not, I do not have

high hopes about that.

779

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Ah.

780

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Not at this time.

781

Well, and, and we wouldn't

be like in this form, surely.

782

Like there's something that we would

evolutionarily maximize ourselves too.

783

Right?

784

Right.

785

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Or just, you know.

786

Well, and see, the thing about

evolution is it's not always good.

787

It just is change.

788

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

789

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

and yeah, I'm sure like a year, 1 trillion

790

human wouldn't look like an US human.

791

Just like we wouldn't look like a,

you know, 250,000 year ago human

792

when we first started showing up

793

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

True, true.

794

Uh, I guess they don't

look like you know us.

795

'cause it said something about they

turn themselves into children and

796

then they turn themselves into robots.

797

Yep.

798

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

in balls.

799

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Uh, meat robots, uh, the

800

superior form of being.

801

Uh, so then the master

took them back in time.

802

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Because, hey, your civilization is ending.

803

Come back here with me.

804

We'll

805

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Mm-hmm.

806

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

empire.

807

It'll all be great and you won't

be all like dealing with this

808

existential end of the universe crisis.

809

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918: And

810

I've got the paradox machine.

811

So shut up

812

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

yes,

813

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918: and

814

you'll stay alive.

815

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

This is, this is our version of a wizard.

816

Did it?

817

Uh,

818

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Uh, so Tom asks why they kill

819

humans and the head claims it's fun.

820

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Which makes this, uh, canonical,

821

very similar to the Viper episode,

where our strip club manager just

822

finds out that killing people

makes all your problems go away.

823

Uh,

824

it is like, why if you're humans

from in the future, why are you just

825

like massacring us because this fun.

826

Alright.

827

Maybe you guys are evil.

828

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

yeah.

829

So he gets Tom's bullet to the

830

face

831

Uh, then the master declares the human

race, the greatest monsters of them all.

832

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Yes.

833

Hey, you love these guys.

834

Look at what I was able to turn them into.

835

They're, they, they willingly

became face murder balls.

836

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Uh, so the professor wants the truth

837

from Martha, who has, you know,

been by legend traveling the world

838

to find a way to kill the master.

839

She says she's got this four chemical gun.

840

It's a little like gun thing

with tubes that we put on it.

841

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Mm-hmm.

842

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

is four different chemicals.

843

Yeah.

844

Three of the four.

845

She has, she needs to go get the fourth.

846

And then the professor's like, well,

are you sure you can actually kill him?

847

'cause you don't look like a killer.

848

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Yes.

849

Which is famously like a thing you

can tell just by looking at someone,

850

Uh,

851

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

yeah.

852

All the time.

853

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

having, having been the

854

juror in a murder trial.

855

It's not, it's not something they

tell you like, all right, now jury, we

856

need you just to look at the bad guy

and be like, you think they did it?

857

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

858

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

like evidence and

859

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Right, right.

860

Uh, so we go to the Ruins of London.

861

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

Yes.

862

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Do you have a joke?

863

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

no, no.

864

Sorry.

865

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Okay

866

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

I mean, I was gonna like the, the ruins

867

of London, which just look like, Cardiff,

868

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

yeah.

869

Yeah.

870

But you can tell there are ruins

because there's nobody here and

871

it's dark and it's kind of dirty.

872

And we have like 20 people crammed in

the hall front hallway of this house.

873

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

we also find out that they save

874

money by cramming a hundred people

into each flat, also they've

875

been murdering people for years.

876

So it feels like shouldn't

be a housing shortage.

877

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

And if you're murder balls in charge

878

of the planet, do you still do money?

879

Is money still a thing?

880

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

imagine.

881

Um,

882

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

I don't know.

883

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

like

884

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

mean, people are slaves building silos.

885

What do they need money for?

886

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

No.

887

Like what?

888

What are you saving electricity.

889

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

890

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

so many people.

891

What do you need to save electricity for?

892

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Well we are murder balls, murder robots.

893

So maybe we soak up a lot of electricity.

894

And then, uh, Martha like,

961

whispers something to Tom.

962

And I thought at this point

963

key that keeps her secret off.

964

And I was like, oh.

965

And she gave it to Tom, and

now this is some sort of like,

Like, come on Tom.

977

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Oh my gosh.

978

I, I was, and then I guess it we're

supposed to like, take the little

979

bit of tiny bit of romantic tension.

980

They've like established between

these two and be like, oh, he fell in

981

love with her and then he sacrificed

himself and I'm just like, okay.

982

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

No.

983

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Okay.

984

But uh, the master's not gonna kill

Martha here because he wants Dr.

985

Smigel to watch her die.

986

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

But he does destroy your backpack

987

because I collecting all of the, all

of my horror cruxes, uh, to kill me

988

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Yeah.

989

Honestly, I had forgotten about

the chemical gun and then it would

990

be in her backpack and I was like,

why do you shoot her backpack?

991

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

because hate backpacks.

992

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

Mm, yeah, that's true.

993

That's true.

994

Uh, so we go back to

the conference room set.

995

And Lucy is just six and all over

the place 'cause she's standing there

996

in her big red dress and just tall

997

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

and

998

laura--time-lord-_1_03-30-2025_201918:

and so

999

benjamin-david-curley--he-him-_1_03-30-2025_211918:

gets to talk and it was like, oh,

00:39:34,322 --> 00:39:36,212

you might be making sag minimum.

00:39:36,212 --> 00:39:36,812

Yay.

00:39:38,222 --> 00:39:39,152

I thought you an extra.

00:39:40,367 --> 00:39:40,717

right.

00:39:41,732 --> 00:39:44,942

I feel like she was supposed to have

been important in the other two episodes.

00:39:44,942 --> 00:39:45,782

I sure hope so.

00:39:45,902 --> 00:39:46,622

hope so.

00:39:47,972 --> 00:39:48,362

Uh,

00:39:48,422 --> 00:39:50,852

the, for some reason the master has built

00:39:50,852 --> 00:39:58,142

200,000 spaceships, uh, and they're gonna

burn across the universe for something.

00:39:59,792 --> 00:40:01,832

They, want to reestablish the, the

00:40:02,552 --> 00:40:06,182

Empire he's gonna do it with the Huon,

00:40:06,602 --> 00:40:10,232

uh, because the drums told him to.

00:40:11,612 --> 00:40:12,002

Okay.

00:40:12,092 --> 00:40:13,442

I had no idea what was

00:40:13,562 --> 00:40:14,162

real

00:40:14,162 --> 00:40:14,462

here

00:40:14,882 --> 00:40:16,112

Like they do not do a great

00:40:16,112 --> 00:40:18,182

job of explaining this to like

00:40:19,052 --> 00:40:20,702

To somebody who's go, coming in, in the

00:40:20,702 --> 00:40:22,292

middle of the three parter, how dare they?

00:40:22,412 --> 00:40:23,042

Exactly.

00:40:23,042 --> 00:40:23,222

Yeah.

00:40:25,892 --> 00:40:30,512

But then the doctor says the thing

he was always going to say to

00:40:30,512 --> 00:40:32,492

him, that made the master so mad.

00:40:33,077 --> 00:40:33,497

Mm-hmm.

00:40:34,262 --> 00:40:35,132

forgive you.

00:40:36,182 --> 00:40:36,452

Nah.

00:40:36,857 --> 00:40:37,147

Yeah.

00:40:39,777 --> 00:40:40,067

Yeah.

00:40:41,192 --> 00:40:48,272

Uh, so Martha starts laughing at him

for believing the thing about the gun.

00:40:49,262 --> 00:40:54,092

Uh, and she's like, I

didn't have a special gun.

00:40:54,092 --> 00:40:54,752

That's stupid.

00:40:54,817 --> 00:40:55,292

stupid.

00:40:56,462 --> 00:41:00,002

Uh, actually I told people about the

00:41:00,002 --> 00:41:03,962

doctor and now they're all gonna think

about him really hard at the same time.

00:41:04,037 --> 00:41:05,882

And it's going to counteract the.

00:41:06,767 --> 00:41:09,557

Make everybody scared, telepathy,

00:41:10,067 --> 00:41:14,507

and it's going to like spirit bomb.

00:41:14,507 --> 00:41:16,097

Charge up the doctor.

00:41:16,937 --> 00:41:20,207

Yeah, so like the, the Archangel

00:41:20,207 --> 00:41:25,187

Oppression satellites were like psychic

satellites, and we're gonna reverse,

00:41:25,397 --> 00:41:31,697

we're gonna backflow the vibes into

the satellites and they're gonna

00:41:31,697 --> 00:41:33,857

make the doctor back to who he was.

00:41:34,097 --> 00:41:35,567

This is gonna be more powerful

00:41:35,567 --> 00:41:37,187

than a couple of crave cases.

00:41:37,187 --> 00:41:42,047

Showing up at 3:00 AM like it is

going to help the vibes so much

00:41:44,357 --> 00:41:45,917

how many tacos are here.

00:41:46,367 --> 00:41:46,577

Uh,

00:41:50,357 --> 00:41:53,447

So the Power of vibes restores David

00:41:53,447 --> 00:41:55,397

Tenet to his young, beautiful self.

00:41:55,727 --> 00:41:59,687

and also destroys his, uh, bird cage,

00:41:59,897 --> 00:42:05,057

which good because full-sized David tenant

in the bird cage would've been like, oh.

00:42:06,002 --> 00:42:07,022

Not comfortable.

00:42:07,712 --> 00:42:08,342

Um, it would've been

00:42:08,417 --> 00:42:08,657

yeah.

00:42:08,662 --> 00:42:09,167

Yeah.

00:42:09,167 --> 00:42:09,168

Yeah

00:42:09,242 --> 00:42:10,802

would've totally undercut the moment,

00:42:11,417 --> 00:42:12,227

It would.

00:42:12,557 --> 00:42:12,827

Yeah.

00:42:12,827 --> 00:42:13,247

Yeah.

00:42:13,637 --> 00:42:18,287

Uh, because you can't stop

people thinking, uh, and

00:42:18,692 --> 00:42:18,932

isn't

00:42:19,217 --> 00:42:24,317

rush in the, the launch begins and

00:42:24,317 --> 00:42:28,367

the ma master is like, ready to blow

everybody up with black hole converters

00:42:28,367 --> 00:42:29,747

on all the ships or something.

00:42:30,467 --> 00:42:30,737

I don't know.

00:42:31,052 --> 00:42:34,082

so they have a transporter and

00:42:34,142 --> 00:42:37,952

for some reason they transport the

master and the doctor to have this

00:42:37,982 --> 00:42:40,412

dramatic cliffside confrontation.

00:42:40,862 --> 00:42:42,572

And he's like, I'll do it.

00:42:42,572 --> 00:42:43,862

I'll blow up the world.

00:42:44,762 --> 00:42:47,972

And the doctor is just like, nah,

man, you love yourself too much.

00:42:48,062 --> 00:42:50,252

You won't blow up the world

'cause you'd kill yourself.

00:42:50,852 --> 00:42:53,432

And he's like, ah, you know me too well.

00:42:54,272 --> 00:42:57,932

And then they go immediately back

to the room with all of the people.

00:42:58,937 --> 00:42:59,447

Yeah.

00:42:59,522 --> 00:42:59,642

like.

00:43:00,887 --> 00:43:04,577

You could have just had this

argument in front of everybody.

00:43:04,732 --> 00:43:05,897

It, it would've been fine.

00:43:07,022 --> 00:43:09,062

Oh, and also in all of this,

00:43:09,062 --> 00:43:12,182

somehow the paradox machine is

in danger, and I'm not clear why.

00:43:12,287 --> 00:43:17,027

So they, uh, once the spell is

00:43:17,027 --> 00:43:21,317

broken and everybody's not afraid

of the master anymore, uh, captain

00:43:21,407 --> 00:43:25,367

Jack is able to immediately tell

all of the goons, all right, it's

00:43:25,367 --> 00:43:27,437

time to destroy the paradox device.

00:43:28,247 --> 00:43:33,917

And they into the TARDIS

and they shoot like a-holes.

00:43:34,067 --> 00:43:40,067

And it makes me mad 'cause nobody aims

and they're all like, firing from the hip.

00:43:40,067 --> 00:43:42,377

And I'm like, why do people do this?

00:43:42,377 --> 00:43:43,877

I don't, I don't understand.

00:43:44,357 --> 00:43:44,867

Uh,

00:43:45,002 --> 00:43:46,802

didn't train his goons very well, did he?

00:43:46,907 --> 00:43:47,597

no.

00:43:47,972 --> 00:43:52,007

And for like, okay, captain Jack,

like you're an immortal, like,

00:43:53,387 --> 00:43:55,997

bullets like, don't matter to me guy.

00:43:56,942 --> 00:44:00,692

But also like you're trying to destroy

a thing in a specific amount of time.

00:44:01,562 --> 00:44:03,632

Freaking aim, please.

00:44:04,232 --> 00:44:06,362

maybe the gun training was in the

00:44:06,362 --> 00:44:09,332

vibes that they were getting from

those mind control satellites.

00:44:09,632 --> 00:44:11,732

Maybe that's where the talent was packed.

00:44:12,692 --> 00:44:14,732

uh, but they, they destroy the

00:44:14,732 --> 00:44:20,042

paradox device, which makes all of

our, our, uh, human balls disappear.

00:44:20,432 --> 00:44:20,762

Uh

00:44:20,817 --> 00:44:21,107

Yeah.

00:44:23,162 --> 00:44:28,532

Uh, time starts reversing

the aircraft, carrier stops.

00:44:28,592 --> 00:44:33,542

Um, and then I was like, 'cause you know,

there were the other like slaves in the

00:44:33,542 --> 00:44:35,552

conference room on the aircraft carrier.

00:44:35,582 --> 00:44:35,942

And

00:44:35,942 --> 00:44:36,092

all

00:44:36,092 --> 00:44:36,422

was like

00:44:36,422 --> 00:44:38,222

apparently Martha's family,

00:44:38,822 --> 00:44:40,082

yeah, okay.

00:44:40,802 --> 00:44:42,332

That was not clear earlier.

00:44:42,902 --> 00:44:44,942

it is because we've only.

00:44:46,067 --> 00:44:49,847

the three characters in the rest

of the season and won't it be

00:44:49,847 --> 00:44:51,287

poignant to bring them back?

00:44:51,287 --> 00:44:55,277

And I'm like, it probably would if I

had watched any of the rest of this,

00:44:55,472 --> 00:44:56,012

Yeah.

00:44:58,922 --> 00:44:59,252

Okay.

00:44:59,252 --> 00:45:02,942

So the doctor is gonna

take care of the master.

00:45:02,942 --> 00:45:05,372

He decides, he's like, well, he's gonna be

00:45:05,507 --> 00:45:06,197

the tardis.

00:45:06,992 --> 00:45:08,732

I'm gonna try to like reform him or

00:45:08,732 --> 00:45:10,502

what I, I can change him, you know,

00:45:11,447 --> 00:45:12,917

like, girl, you can't change him.

00:45:13,617 --> 00:45:16,982

um, um, some, you know, they say

00:45:16,982 --> 00:45:19,982

that blood is thicker than water and

he's like your brother and all that.

00:45:19,982 --> 00:45:22,127

But that's actually not the whole phrase.

00:45:22,127 --> 00:45:26,432

It's the blood of the covenant is

thicker than the water of the womb.

00:45:27,302 --> 00:45:27,992

Did you know that?

00:45:28,307 --> 00:45:28,787

I did,

00:45:29,462 --> 00:45:29,852

Okay.

00:45:31,202 --> 00:45:34,352

So like, you don't have to choose

him just 'cause he is related to you

00:45:34,607 --> 00:45:36,047

but I also get like the whole,

00:45:36,047 --> 00:45:38,357

like there are two of us left

00:45:39,662 --> 00:45:40,022

Yeah.

00:45:40,022 --> 00:45:42,537

I mean, survival of a species,

whatever, blah, blah, blah.

00:45:42,542 --> 00:45:44,402

It reminded me of, I forget the name

00:45:44,402 --> 00:45:51,122

of the language, but there was a, uh,

a language that was almost extinct.

00:45:51,182 --> 00:45:52,502

Two people spoke it

00:45:53,087 --> 00:45:53,507

Mm-hmm.

00:45:53,522 --> 00:45:55,142

hated each other, so

00:45:55,472 --> 00:45:56,882

they never spoke in it.

00:45:57,212 --> 00:46:01,682

Um, and it just reminded of this, where

it's like, oh, we've got the doctor

00:46:01,682 --> 00:46:05,162

and the master one's a good guy and

one's a bad guy and they don't want

00:46:05,162 --> 00:46:11,282

to talk in their ancestral gian, um,

'cause they're like, no, that guy sucks.

00:46:13,982 --> 00:46:15,992

Do you think that Gaf Fran, time

00:46:15,992 --> 00:46:21,332

lords are like, like, um, those

kind of lizards that can change

00:46:21,662 --> 00:46:24,002

what they are whenever they need to?

00:46:24,182 --> 00:46:28,352

Like if I'm a boy but there's too

many boys around, I can become a

00:46:28,352 --> 00:46:30,302

girl so that we can keep reproducing.

00:46:30,307 --> 00:46:32,282

mean like certain South African frogs?

00:46:32,312 --> 00:46:37,052

Uh, that can, uh, if I'm remembering

the speech from Jurassic Park correctly.

00:46:37,682 --> 00:46:38,642

exactly.

00:46:41,342 --> 00:46:44,042

But, uh, the doctor stops Mama

00:46:44,042 --> 00:46:47,432

Jones from murdering the master,

which is the thing we know.

00:46:47,492 --> 00:46:52,262

Doesn't actually matter a time

Lord can just regenerate after

00:46:52,262 --> 00:46:54,242

being murdered, uh, or dying.

00:46:54,962 --> 00:46:57,542

And I'm just okay, let her do it.

00:46:57,662 --> 00:46:59,072

It'll probably be cathartic.

00:46:59,282 --> 00:47:00,272

The guy will regenerate.

00:47:00,272 --> 00:47:01,652

It doesn't matter to him.

00:47:02,297 --> 00:47:04,637

well, but, but doesn't, but Lucy shoots

00:47:04,637 --> 00:47:10,907

him and he just decides I'm gonna die

on this hill and I refuse to regenerate.

00:47:10,937 --> 00:47:12,737

'cause I don't wanna be near you.

00:47:12,737 --> 00:47:14,327

You gross meanie.

00:47:16,772 --> 00:47:18,722

know I'm supposed to hate the master.

00:47:19,652 --> 00:47:25,352

I respect this so much as a person

who is just always looking for a

00:47:25,352 --> 00:47:29,822

hill to die on, where it's just like

I could, this could be nothing to

00:47:29,822 --> 00:47:32,012

me, but I'm just choosing to die.

00:47:32,222 --> 00:47:33,842

'cause screw you.

00:47:34,112 --> 00:47:35,612

You want me to be better?

00:47:35,942 --> 00:47:38,822

Nah, I'm gonna die and leave you alone.

00:47:38,822 --> 00:47:39,122

I'm like.

00:47:40,067 --> 00:47:42,797

I, I recognize the level of petty,

00:47:44,642 --> 00:47:45,092
