NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 171: "Can You Hear Me?" Is Up!


"Are we underground?  Is that why it’s so dark?"
"The Doctor reckons we’re in a building, among the stars.  We’ve come a long way from home."
"That’s impossible, nobody can travel across the stars."
"Unless you’re the Doctor.  She’s basically the definition of impossible."
-- Tahira and Yasmin "Yaz" Khan, Doctor Who: "Can You Hear Me?"

Hello again, everyone!  My partner in time Jesse Jackson and I are back to discuss "Can You Hear Me?", the seventh episode of Doctor Who Series 12, featuring Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor, Ian Gelder as Zellin, Clare-Hope Ashitey as Rakaya, and Aruhan Galieva as Tahira!

In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like Jesse's first week at his new job, my dad's 85th birthday, New Who bringing the companions back to Earth to catch up with their lives, wondering if Yaz still has a job, Zellin name-dropping the Eternals, the Black and White Guardians and the Celestial Toymaker, the BBC's reponse to complaints that the Thirteenth Doctor didn't console Graham about his fear that his cancer might return, the Thirteenth Doctor's persona being the socially-awkward Doctor, the Thirteenth Doctor becoming welcoming to people in her TARDIS, Ryan bringing Tibo chips, Ryan not being sure if he wants to continue traveling with the Doctor, what Yaz and Sonya were celebrating, Yaz as a young runaway considering suicide, Yaz being inspired to become a police officer, the Sarah Jane Adventures story "The Nightmare Man", Zellin being revealed as a henchman for Rakaya, wondering why the Doctor wasn't skeptical about releasing Rakaya from her prison, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Polarity segment, new feedback from Holly Mac and David K. Proctor, sending our best wishes to Xan Sprouse and Karen Lindsay, and more!
