you're not nice, you're kind. There's a difference. Kind is better. Jan 26 2019 12th Doctor April McLean Charlie Smith Miss Quill Ram Singh Tanya Adeola I am so, so frustrated right now. Although I missed a bunch of workouts early on with K9, I have really been much more consistent for the past week. Even so, my weight just seems to keep going up and up and up. I know, I know, I swore this ridiculous project was not about weight, but that's really easy to say when you are on the free fall slope of the graph and way harder to say when you are on the upward slope. I really think I have hit the point where I need to start varying my workout significantly. I have been doing the treadmill thing for dang near two years, and it is absolutely time to start changing things up. The good news is I am roughly three weeks away from completely running out of unwatched officially-licensed Doctor Who related stories. I have some obscura to delve into after that, not to mention rewatches of older stories as the new BluRay seasons come out, but I think by the time I hit the two year mark on February 20th I will basically be done with this project as a daily thing. It's time to start breaking out my bike and my inline skates, and to maybe take another look at yoga, and to just generally change things up. That being said, today I started the last of the official spinoff programs, Class. I have really been looking forward to it, which is kind of why I saved it to the end. Here goes... Read more ...
Oh, brilliant! Aug 06 2018 12th Doctor 13th Doctor Bill Potts Nardole I did it! As of about 7:30 am this morning I completed watching every single episode of Doctor Who that has ever been broadcast (including reconstructions of the 97 currently-lost episodes), all while walking on a treadmill. During the past eighteen months I have taken 3,630,973 steps walking 1,897.84 miles, and watching 275 stories and 843 individual episodes. I have reached the end of Phase One of the Time Treadmill. So let's talk about the final (for now) episode. Read more ...
Farewell Forever, Bill Potts. I'll See You Again Tomorrow Morning. Aug 05 2018 12th Doctor Bill Potts Nardole Five hundred and thirty days ago, I set foot on the Time Treadmill and watched both the original unaired version of An Unearthly Child and then the version that was first broadcast on November 23, 1963. Since that day I have walked almost 1,894 miles on the treadmill and have taken over 3.6 million steps. I lost close to seventy pounds of fat and put back on about ten pounds of muscle, lost nearly eight inches in my waist, and have now (with one last exception) watched every single episode of Doctor Who ever broadcast -- including reconstructions of the 97 currently-missing episodes. Tomorrow morning I will cross the finish line when I view Twice Upon a Time. Today I watched the two part story that wraps up the storylines for both Bill Potts and Nardole, not to mention Missy. So let's talk about that. Read more ...
Who isn't [afraid]? But you've still got to face your beast anyway. Aug 04 2018 12th Doctor Bill Potts Nardole As this ridiculous project draws to a close, I am in a literal mad dash to the finish line.Because I am traveling for work in a few days, and because I absolutely want to be done with Phase One of this thing before I go, I have to double up on episodes this weekend. That means that today I visited both Mars and ancient Scotland. How cool is that? So let's talk about Martians, Victorians, Romans, and Picts. Read more ...
History was saying to you, look, I've got some examples of fascism here for you to look at. No? Fundamentalism? No? Oh, okay, you carry on. Aug 03 2018 12th Doctor Bill Potts Nardole Holy crap, three days to the finish line. Three days, y'all! Let's talk Doctor Who. Read more ...
The thing is, World War Three. What do you think? Basically, we're against it. Aug 02 2018 12th Doctor Bill Potts Nardole I am so, so close to the end, and simultaneously buried with the busiest part of my working year. So pardon me if I am brief. Let's talk Doctor Who. Read more ...
"Nardole, are you secretly a badass?" "Nothing secret about it, baby doll." Aug 01 2018 12th Doctor Bill Potts Nardole Ninety Nine Percent. I am now 99% complete with this ridiculous project, and will wrap it up on Monday morning. I will be doing a Facebook Live if for some reason you want to watch me sweat and shout with glee as I cross the finish line. But before I can do that, I have to talk about today's episode of Doctor Who. Let's get it done. Read more ...
Failing that, I think I've got some spare eyes somewhere. They're from a lizard, but I'm sure they'll fit. Jul 31 2018 12th Doctor Bill Potts Nardole When I wrote about this story last year when it first aired, I only had one non-spoilery sentence. This time around I should elaborate just a bit more. So let's do that. Read more ...
There's a haunted house and woodlice from space. And lots of young people get eaten. Jul 30 2018 12th Doctor Bill Potts Nardole I got a bit behind again, but I am catching up here. I still need to double up on two days to finish on schedule, so right now I am targeting Saturday and Sunday to do that. Holy cow, a week from now I will be done with this ridiculous project, can you believe it?!? So anyway, let's talk about haunted houses. Read more ...
So the Tardis has dresses and likes a bit of trouble? Yeah, I think I'm low-key in love with her. Jul 29 2018 12th Doctor Bill Potts Nardole Oh, such a Sunday this was. I had the closing performance of the stage show I have been in, and it was a doozy. Due to the lead becoming extremely ill during the performance (but not while onstage, thankfully), the whole thing went sideways about halfway through. It made for a memorable live performance, anyway. As for Doctor Who, I did indeed watch a new episode. So let's talk about that. Read more ...
