"You are the maddest, most beautiful thing I've ever experienced and I haven't even scratched the surface. I wish I could stay. But if either of us are going to survive, you're gonna have to let me go and keep on being brilliant by yourself."
--The Thirteenth Doctor to the Solitract, Doctor Who: "It Takes You Away"
With Karen off in time and space, I'm joined this week by my partner in time Jesse Jackson for a new episode of Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast! This time, we review "It Takes You Away", the ninth episode from Doctor Who Series Eleven, featuring Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor, Kevin Eldon as Ribbons of the Seven Stomachs, Eleanor Wallwork as Hanne, and Sharon D. Clarke as Grace O’Brien!
In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like Jesse going down the negative Doctor Who fan rabbit hole once again, being able to say bad things about any TV show, wondering how you make something too politically correct, Columbus Doctor Who fan Steve Pompa, Eleanor Wallwork being the first blind actor playing a blind character on Doctor Who, the Thirteenth Doctor identifying a time and location by tasting something, getting new stuff vs. comfort food from Doctor Who, the Doctor's seven grandmothers and Granny 2 being a Zygon secret agent, Ryan finally referring to Graham as "Granddad", Graham's lingering pain over losing Grace, Graham keeping sandwiches on him, Ryan getting called out by Hanne, companion character development during Series 11, Erik's horrible parenting toward Hanne, Jesse feeling guilty about accidentally leaving his dog Ranger outside, wondering why the Doctor and Yaz left Hanne with Erik without making sure she'll be okay, M. Night Shyamalan's The Village, Yaz's cousin seeing the Arctic Monkeys' first gig, Ribbons cutting the Doctor's Hansel and Gretel thread, Jesse enjoying a Diet Coke, Ken from Chicago and "non-evil" villains in Series 11, the Solitract taking on the form of a talking frog, our favorite quotes of the episode, reversed Slayer t-shirts, a quick Reverse the Polarity segment, some feedback from David K. Proctor, Holly from Wisconsin and Paul from Australia, and more!
