Classic Who questions: Firstly, what did you think of the side characters in The Tenth Planet? Like General Cutler, the scientist guy, etc. I feel they were written more realistically than other side characters have been in other stories. Secondly, what did you think of the Mondasian Cybermen voices? And finally, what did you think of the regeneration scene? I love that his face glowed

Lots to cover this month! I have some questions about Torchwood, Doctor Who, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer! So, to start with Torchwood… I know you covered this a little in your season two finale reaction, but I was curious to ask your thoughts about not remembering Gwen’s line about wanting to go out fighting like Tosh and Owen in Doctor Who’s The Stolen Earth. Obviously it’s very fortunate that the line didn’t really register with you at the time and you didn’t remember it. If you had remembered that line, do you think it would have changed your feelings about them as characters, having at least some idea what was coming for them? For Doctor Who… Back when Twice Upon a Time aired, a few of us asked you how you felt about the depiction of the First Doctor’s character in that story, as you’d already seen his first two serials. You said that you could understand why some people were upset about it, but that it didn’t really bother you too much as you didn’t have much of an attachment to the First Doctor. Given the fondness you have found for the character over the past year, I wondered whether your feelings about what they did in Twice Upon a Time had changed at all? And finally… A Buffy question! But also a Doctor Who one… It felt appropriate to ask this given you’ve been dealing with so many missing episodes recently, and given how much I know you love Buffy. In season six of Buffy, when Andrew boasts to Spike that he has “seen every episode of Doctor Who”, do you think that… a) He just isn’t counting the missing episodes, only the existing ones. b) He means he’s listened to the soundtracks or watched recons of all the missing episodes c) There are no missing episodes in the Buffyverse (perhaps the Watchers’ Council saved them all?) d) He’s lying, he doesn’t actually know that much about Doctor Who and is just trying to impress Spike or, most evilly of all… e) Andrew has a secret stash of the missing episodes, to which only he has access?

I have a question that is not about one of the shows you react to if that is ok. If you are still watching The Good Place what are your thouhts on the final season so far? Oh and Happy Thanksgiving! Why are you talking to us today and not taking the day off? : )

I have another question that is related to your channel but not any specific show. I saw your tweet about fines and your Sarah Jane Adventures reactions. What your thoughts about Coppa and the new YouTube rules in regards to your channel. I have seen some information on the rules but still do not know a lot. If you do not monetize your channel (which I think you don't) are you in the clear?

I might be too late and you might have already recorded it but I'll post this anyway just in case. Also I don't celebrate it, but happy Thanksgiving :) Torchwood: 1) Thoughts on the cruel double-whammy deaths of Tosh and Owen? Do you think it was better or worse that they died 'together', so they didn't have to live without each other etc. Are you happy with how their characters' arcs ended up? 2) What do you think about the whole twist with John and Gray? Do you think John should have stayed around a bit longer since he wasn't really so evil? And do you think Jack was right to forgive Gray for what he did to him? 3) What do you make of the structure of the third season so far? If I recall correctly, each episode was originally aired daily over the course of a week to keep in line with the show's timeline. Do you like the change of structure from the 'monster-of-the-week' vibe of S1/2 to a more serialised story? His Dark Materials: 1) What do you make of Ms Coulter's complex relationship with Lyra from what we know so far? 2) Just wondering what do you think your daemon would be if you had one? Vikings: 1) To follow up my question from last month, what do you think about Hvitserk finally sticking up to Ivar and choosing to fight against him? 2) What do you think of Bjorn's crowning as King of Kattegat, and what are your thoughts on that whole final scene/vision he has when he's thinking back to Ragnar's words? Do you think he feels the pressure of the job, and/or if he's thinking about how much has changed since his father's time? 3) Do you think Ivar will be slightly humbled and knocked off his high horse after the deaths of his son and wife and his loss of Kattegat? Would you like to see a more layered/personal side to him in S6? The Boys: 1) How do you feel about Hughie and Starlight's relationship, including their rift and eventual make-up? I wonder if you think she shouldn't have forgiven him as quickly as she did too? 2) What do you make of that final scene/revelation? How do you think Butcher will react to the whole shock of not only Becca being alive but that she's been raising Homelander's son? 3) How do you feel about The Deep's bizarre subplot going on? Do you think he's a redeemable character after his horrible actions? Or do you think the show isn't even trying to redeem him but just poke fun at him? 4) What do you think the future of The Seven will be like, between Stillwell's death and generally all the members suffering their own crises (except for Black Noir of course) The Walking Dead: 1) What do you think of Negan's integration into the Whisperers? Do you think he has a plan of action in becoming part of the group or do you think he's just interested in joining the enemy? After ~8 years of being locked up, where do you stand on the idea of Negan being redeemed for his actions, and do you think he's changed? 2) Thoughts on Carol's state of mind and her rash decision making this season? Do you think she should be handling things differently than she has been? 3) What do you make of Siddiq's death now you've processed it a bit? I find it super upsetting that he never really got to leave the barn and died in the hands of the guy who forced him to watch the beheadings 4) Do you think Eugene should keep the lady on the radio a secret like she wanted? 5) How do you feel about Gabriel's abrupt murder of Dante? 6) Do you think Aaron is right to trust Gamma/Mary, and where do you think her head is at after their talks and after seeing Lydia is alive?
