SB66:Episode 96 Karen Hears a Who




Starbase 66 show

Summary: While Kennedy runs around the city in his underwear with a towel tied around his neck, Karen and the Admiral talk about Karen's recent journeys in the TARDIS and her opinions of the first two new Doctors. (http://www.simplysyndicated.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/media_httpfc08deviant_hBvHo.jpg.scaled1000-300x199.jpg) Show notes: Our resident Bajoran has been called many things, but it's only now that she has earned the distinction of another honorific to boost her geek cred: Wholigan. That's right, listeners, we here at the Starbase do pay attention to what you ask for (even if it sometimes takes us a little while to get to where you want us to be!). Ro heard the growing rumbles of frustration from our international outposts and, not wanting to be the victim of that infamous "British Scorn," she finally fired up the TARDIS and began her journey through New Who. Prior to bouncing along in that smexy blue police box, the Admiral vents over SyFy stupidity, Ro breaks the logic framastat by bringing up a Quinn-tessentially non-scifi show, the Admiral is no longer "animated" over a certain series, ball of hormones and a Dink Flashback, and look for Emergence of the Starbaby, coming soon to your local bookstore! And then we're off! Strange worlds await, and even stranger aliens (even the bobble-headed gaseous variety that caused eye-roll-induced sprains) as the Admiral and Ro hop through the first three seasons of new Doctor Who. What was liked? What was mocked? What was with the Mary Sue angle? How do you pronounce Agyeman? Why is there no action figure for Lady Christina de Souza? Okay, no one probably cares about that last question but Ro, so we'll let it go. For now. And once you've listened, let us know what you think! (http://www.simplysyndicated.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1545) What did we say that you agreed with? What did we say that caused you to shatter a molar or two? Should Ro go back to the beginning? Or is it best to keep full-steam ahead to the Matt Smith era? Are we asking too many questions? We do apologize. Here. Enjoy some music: Not into metal? How about a dubstep version? No? Trance then? Seriously, there's a bajillion of these things out there. How about Doctor Who, the Springfield Remix?
