  • 3 – The Return

    Hello everyone, the Historian here with another catch-up post. As I said last time, I’m having to forgo the detailed summaries I’ve been writing up for the past year or so in order to catch these posts up to where the Project has gotten to. I hope to go back and add full summaries at some point, but hopefully this will help me get back on track.

    On 10 June, 2011, I was joined by Ketina, Ronelyn, Spoo, MiniSpoo, Photobug and Cz, as we returned to the giant Ark spaceship about to arrive at Refusis II. So, let’s get to the (truncated) summary!

  • 2 – The Plague

    Hello everyone, the Historian finally here. Let me, first and foremost, apologize deeply for the huge delay between posts. I have plenty of excuses, but none of that matters. I can only say that I will try to be more prompt in the future. Getting “meta” for a moment, I can say that what has been tripping me up has been the high level of detail in my summaries–they do take a lot out of me! The solution I’ve come up with, to try and catch people up with the discussions (which are actually the point of this whole thing) is to do a summary in a few sentences for now. I may go back later and insert longer summaries later. I will also include links to the episode transcripts that have helped me get the level of detail lately. Again, I apologize to our readers and the Project members.

    Now, several weeks ago I was joined by Ketina, Ronelyn, Schmallturm, Spoo, MisterMother, Photobug and Cz to watch another episode aboard the ship to Refusis II. Let’s get to the summary!

  • 1 – The Steel Sky

    Hello everyone, the Historian here, welcoming you back to the TARDIS Project and apologizing for how irregular posts have been lately. Life has been a bit complicated lately and I can only say I’m sorry and hope to get things out regularly. Hopefully we haven’t lost too many of you readers!

    Anyway, getting back to this episode, I was joined by Ketina, Ronelyn, Schmallturm, Spoo, MisterMother, Photobug, Cz and SpookyGirl. We were also honored to be joined not only by seven year old MiniSpoo, but also by almost-six year old ElfGirl, for whom this was her first ever Doctor Who episode! What did she think? Well, for now, let’s get to the summary!

  • Wrapup – The Massacre of St. Bartholomew’s Eve

    Hello everyone, the Historian here. As some of you may know, our blog server was down for a good deal of time during the latter half of this week. Unfortunately, this (and my day job) has thrown my posting schedule a bit out the window. So, here’s the “Massacre” wrapup post. The new episode post will be up sometime later this week.

    <Note: the published date on the new site for this post was modified from the original date of 5/16/2011 to 5/10/2011 to keep the episode order correct by date. From here on out, episodes posted on the new site are back dated to the date of the airing and discussion, not the date of post. This is also so that current events mentioned in discussions can line up correctly.>

  • 3 – Priest of Death

    Hello everyone, the Historian here. This week, we had a full house of myself, Ketina, Ronelyn, Schmallturm, Spoo, MiniSpoo, MisterMother, Photobug and Cz. (Talk about a crowded room!) As I’ve mentioned before, this story hinges on conversation and intrigue, which makes it very hard to convey the atmosphere and full meanings in a summary…but I’ll give it a try. So, let’s get to the summary!

  • 2 – The Sea Beggar

    Hello everyone, the Historian here. Once again, my apologies for how late this post is; hopefully we haven’t lost too many of you readers! Joining me back in early modern France last week were Ketina, Ronelyn, Schmallturm, MisterMother, Photobug, Cz and MiniSpoo. (Strangely, Spoo was not with us; just call us babysitters, I suppose…) As I may have mentioned before, this story is a bit of a bear to summarize, but hopefully I’ll be able to give you at least some sense of the intrigue. So, let’s get to the summary!

  • Late Post

    Hello everyone, the Historian here. As you can obviously tell, last week’s post is kind of late. Immediately before watching the episode, I was felled with what can only be described as a terrible cold that only got worse over the next few days. I’m finally seeing daylight at the other side of the tunnel, so I’ll get to work on the summary soon.

    The only vaguely positive note is that last week’s post was going to announce that we’d be taking a week off this week, due to personal commitments of core Project personnel. (It’s someone’s tenth anniversary, congrats you two!) But now, you’ll get a post anyway! Sure, it’ll be last week’s post, but…

    So yes. “The Sea Beggar” will be coming soon, I promise. Until then, I remain

  • 1 – War of God

    Hello everyone, the Historian here. Joining me this week were Ketina, Ronelyn, Schmallturm, Spoo, MisterMother and Photobug. (Cz also joined us for the episode itself, but bowed out of the discussion afterwards.) Today we leave science fiction for seventeenth century France. Let’s get to the summary!

  • Wrapup – The Daleks’ Master Plan

    Hello everyone, the Historian here. Well. Here we are, finally, at the end of one of the most fabled, most epic Doctor Who stories of all time. So, here we are, twelve episodes, over three months (because of some breaks), and an exhausted Project team later. (Though, to be fair, only Ketina and I made it through every single episode!)
