Then journey back – waaaay back – to a simpler time when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and and companions just blew up like decent folk instead of being all diva about it. But don’t worry, the Cybermen still prove utterly ineffectual. Will Porter and John follow the ins-and-outs of the Cybermen’s convoluted scheme to create an Earthshock? Will anyone even explain what an Earthshock is or will they just all Earthcalm down and Earthrelax?
Yes. Yesssss. To broadcast our thoughts across the Internet to dozens of people. To hold in our hand, a device that would contain such power. To know that the tiny pressure of our fingers – enough to hit the “Post” button – would share… everything. Yes. We WOULD do it. AND THROUGH THIS PODCAST WE HAVE THAT POWER!!!!
Having had a taste of Davros, we crave more (who wouldn’t – he’s so charming!) so we head back to the 4th Doctor era where we meet him for the very first time. We find our mad scientist buddy beavering away in his lab creating the Daleks and only taking quick breaks to commit not one but two genocides. He is only occasionally disturbed by the Doctor, Sarah, and Harry popping in to deliver some dialog and then ultimately even they just watch the riveting final episode on TV. Now, John has seen this episode 30+ times so we might have a hint of his feelings toward it. Will Porter share his fondness for the book of Genesis of the Daleks?
