While I considered the controversy and its origins, I looked pragmatically at Rose Tyler, Martha Jones, and Donna Noble and compared their situations with that of Amy Pond...."

Review's Roundup...
Doc Oho's Big Finish audios reviews has Terror Firma written by Joe Lidster and directed by Gary Russell, welcome to the madness that is Terror Firma where Joe Lidster discovers everything that has been missing from the eighth Doctor’s life and squeezes it into one story! Don’t get me wrong it is wonderful to have him back in his home universe and the first episode sees him more chilled out than we have had him in ages...
He has also posted Thicker than Water written by Paul Sutton and directed by Ed Salt, three years after Világ was all but laid waste by the Killorans, the Doctor is back alongside a different companion. And a lot has changed. Now elected Principle Triumvir, head of a tripartite government, Rossiter is working to secure a peaceful future for the planet by researching the technology the Killorans left behind. But he has to contend with opposition from his daughter, Sofia, who heads a public campaign demanding the destruction of all alien artefacts.....
Tachyon TV has The Daleks, "before we begin, I would like to point out that it was Sue who prompted the screening of every episode of this story. I have seen this blog described as "someone forcing his wife to watch Doctor Who" and while it may end up like that (check back during The Sensorities to see if I've resorted to rope and pipettes), she's the one making all the moves right now...."
The Edwardian Adventurer has 079 – The Meddling Monk (The Time Meddler Part 2), despite the monk having mysterious, possibly ill, motives, he isn’t completely evil and heartless. He makes a rather nice breakfast for his prisoner, The Doctor. Sadly, William Hartnell is on holiday for this episode, so he doesn’t get to partake....Outer Space Book and a Pick of the Tweets...
