“I believe…I believe I haven’t seen everything, I don’t know. It’s funny, isn’t it? The things you make up, the rules. If that thing had said it came from beyond the universe, I’d believe it. But before the universe? Impossible. Doesn’t fit my rule. Still, that’s why I keep traveling. To be proved wrong.”

The Doctor has taken on religion, faith, and belief several times in the run of the show. We’ve even seen the Doctor become a religion in and of him/herself. Underneath it all, we recognize that the desire for faith, something to believe in is…human.

Join us as we discuss our own approaches to faith, what it’s like to be a minority in religious spaces, and what the Doctor teaches us about the humanity of belief.

Episodes to Watch:

• The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit
• Last of the Time Lords
• The Fires of Pompeii
• The God Complex
• Demons of the Punjab

In the Whoniverse, the TARDIS is a recognizable image throughout time and space. For the people that love the Doctor, it’s a symbol that everything is going to be ok. For everyone else, it can be a symbol of oppression and invasion. Join us as we discuss waning empires, waxing empires, current events, and how Doctor Who is, at its core, an Imperialist show.

In a show that features time travel, the concept of age could be completely meaningless. So when and how does the show make it meaningful? We explore the times Doctor Who has leaned into the significance of age and aging, or sidestepped it completely. Join us as we discuss: –

• Life and love after 40
• May-September pairings
• Age vs. beauty

and all the women who waited for our Doctor.
