Continuing from where in time and space we left off with our discussion on the second half of Series Six, we open with Closing Time. Adam loves Craig, played James Corden, as companion and Christina recommends Gavin and Stacy. Nick loves Gareth Roberts as a writer and everyone laughed at the Confidential. Christina objects to the one un-Doctor-ishness moment in the show. Justin and Adam have both named their nephews Stormageddon. Justin’s favorite part included The Doctor’s monologue to the baby. Nick gives a history of the Cybermats and the reappearance of Linda Barrett. He explains how he got into Who, not so many years ago, and Andy talks about his first experiences. Brad and Nick theorize about the evolution of Cybermen in our universe.

On to The Wedding Of River Song, Brad’s biggest complaint is the overt mention of the death of the Brigadier and no one anticipated Nick’s reaction to it. Half the Tardis Crew was annoyed by the hand binding ritual, while the others found it charming. Adam found it a weaker crescendo than some of the other finales. Christina enjoyed the dynamic between River and Amy at the end. The group discusses River’s plotline and what lies in store for the Doctor’s companions next year. Nick winds up the episode discussion with his feelings about the out they gave The Doctor as well as recovering after having gotten too Godlike.

The crew debates the merits of self-contained stories versus epic lengthy story arcs. Nick compares the forcing of information in Doctor Who to Star Trek Generations. Christina watches Rory and River as her character markers to follow throughout the season. Nick and Richard wish just a guy would be a companion. Justin says Rebel Flesh should have been midseason break and would have been a much more effective cliffhanger.

On the whole, everyone seems to have enjoyed the second half of the series better than the first, with only one or two notable exceptions. Justin fills us in on the plan for Christmas Day on BBC America, as well as The Nerdist Podcast.

Nick, Richard, Andy and Justin join Brad, Adam and Christina this week as the gang discusses the second half of Series Six!

They begin with Let’s Kill Hitler and delve into the regeneration of River Song. Nick’s only problem with the episode was the Doctor’s sonic cane. Adam notices the issue of the number of regenerations allowed and everyone weighs in. Justin talks about what he liked about Mels and Christina gives the female perspective on the lady timelord. The group touches on why they feel how they do about Matt Smith.

Moving on to Night Terrors, everyone is as impressed with Jamie Oram’s performance as they were creeped out by the dolls. Nick appreciates Mark Gatiss’ gift for dark storytelling. Christina shares that it was her mom’s first episode of Doctor Who. Brad compares his experience watching it at Dragon Con versus in his own apartment. Andy was touched by the father/son dynamic and compares it to the novel, The Road.

On to The Girl Who Waited, Nick speaks on his previous notions of Amy and her growth as a character, while Richard takes the counterpoint. Justin marks this as the episode he fell in love with Karen Gillan and Nick and Christina open the floor to commending Rory’s character. They discuss the enemy in this episode as well as the role the Doctor plays.

Next The God Complex touches on everyone’s fears. Christina was impressed with David Walliams’ character and Nick as a fan boy is happy with the mention of the old-school minotaur. Everyone is thrilled to see Amelia and the group mentions differences between Amy and her younger self. What do you think was in the Doctor’s room? Nick talks about how and why the Doctor leaves Amy and Christina laments the lack of closure between him and Rory. Finally, they discuss the wrapping up of the “finding the baby” storyline, and their theories about parenthood and time travel.

To start us off, Brad adds up the total hours of geekness over the past years. Everyone speaks on some of their favorite moments over the past 300 episodes.

We come back with some pre-holiday Geek and Tell! Glenn is excited about getting his first Android phone, the HTC Amaze. He mentions some of the cool camera features it has.

Instead of one for Carly, he bought her up a Kindle Fire.

The gang’s all back for a giant Geek Cuisine! Welcome back Andy, Nick, Richard and Justin! Christina provides the chocolatey goodness this week with Oreo Cookie Bark. She followed the recipe on the Nabisco website, so if it sounds good, go for it!

Glenn is looking forward to playing the new Battlefield 3 downloadable content, while Brad is excited about the Dead Island add-ons.

Christina enjoys figuring out the literary counterparts to each episode. On the sunnier side of the storybook, they gang is enjoying Once Upon A Time. Still, the geek, Christina is playing “spot the Disney in-joke”. Brad is hoping Snow White gets better hair, but everyone is creeped out by Robert Carlisle. Adam has been watching Supernatural and Community. He is extremely nervous about the fate of his favorite band of students. Adam is also nearly finished with the unlikely favorite Friday Night Lights, and has finished up Homeland. He didn’t expect to enjoy Rise of The Planet Of The Apes as much as he did. Brad takes a moment to play Name That Tune with cheesy tv theme songs on his phone, while Glenn explains about Electro Woman and Dyna Girl. Christina and Glenn debate whether or not the tv-themeless trend is good. Christina is still loving New Girl. Her new love this week is Gareth Malone, after having watched Gareth Malone Goes To Glyndebourne. Brad is sad that Chuck’s stars have been tweeting their wrapping the series. They’re all still watching The Big Bang Theory, and have stuck their toes in the Thundercats litterbox. The parallels between Lost and Hawaii Five-O are made again. Terra Nova is growing on everyone.

We managed to survive the giddiness of 299, and sit down to record the tricentennial episode! Six years and countless fandoms later, we discuss how far we have come. Christina’s highlight, aside from hanging with the gang, has loved all the different tv shows she’s watched because of the show. Adam loved all of the Geek Cuisines and his walks on the culinary wild side. One of Glenn’s favorite things has been the great excuses to buy bad movies.

For his purchase, he is able to get Diablo 3 when it comes out. Adam has been enjoying his early access to Star Wars The Old Republic, because the time for betas has passed!
