„We're timelords, we're doing rehab out of order.“ Es ist eine Bi-Regeneration! Ncutis Daddy-Doctor ist da, Davids Doctor aber irgendwie auch noch, zwei Tardisse (ist das der Plural?) reisen fortan durch Zeit und Raum und überhaupt, was war denn da bitte alles sonst noch los? Wir haben uns wieder Fellow Doctor-Who-Fan Steffi vom Queek-Podcast geschnappt und besprechen das zweite und dritte Special der Reihe mit Catherine Tate und David Tennant. Es geht um einen Doctor im Burnout, um die Hybris der verschiedenen Doctor-Who-Showrunner, um die Frage, was eine perfekte Imitation ausmacht, und natürlich um Mavity-Shmavity. Ob die Frage, warum „this face“ zurückgekommen ist, nun geklärt wurde? Hört selbst! Wir freuen uns, wenn ihr mit uns nach der Sendung weiter diskutiert – schreibt uns gerne euer Feedback auf Bluesky, Instagram, Mastodon oder hier im Blog! Und: Es ist Zeit für eure liebste Jahresendtradition. Wir brauchen wieder eure Audiokommentare für die große Kultpess Jahresabschlussgala! Anfang Januar nehmen wir wieder die traditionelle Jahresabschlussgala auf, in der wir unsere total subjektiven Top 10 Filme und Serien des Jahres 2023 küren. Aber dieser Jahresrückblick braucht mehr Perspektiven als nur die von Becci, Eric & Christopher – und darum halten wir auch an der zweiten Tradition fest: Wir suchen wieder jede Menge Audiokommentare von euch, in denen ihr uns und unseren Hörer*innen euren Film oder eure Serie des Jahres vorstellt! Die Regeln: - Audiokommentar in Länge von 1 bis 3 Minuten pro teilnehmender Person (ihr dürft gerne in Gruppen aufnehmen) - Ideal: Genau 1 Serie oder/und 1 Film pro Person. Bitte zählt nicht euer ganzes Filmjahr auf – sucht 1 Film und/oder 1 Serie aus und erzählt uns, was euch daran besonders berührt, ermutigt, begeistert, erregt, bewegt hat - Am liebsten wäre uns, wenn ihr euren Film und eure Serien jeweils in sehr spezifischen, teilweise absurden Kategorien nominiert, z. B. „Beste Serie, in der ein Podcast in einem Kleiderschrank aufgenommen wird“ (Only Murders in the Building S1) oder „Bester Film mit der längsten Orangenschalenschlange“ (The Lost Daughter). - Schickt uns die Datei über einen der bekannten Kanäle (Mastodon, Instagram, Filesharing-Link, E-Mail, es geht auch als Sprachnachricht per Messenger (Nummer gibt's auf Nachfrage) bis zum 6.1.2024
Not Everyone is Laughing at The Giggle
It’s Monday, as I type this. Earlier today, Simon and I recorded our session on #TheGiggle. Although we generally avoid listening to other opinions before we record, it was not lost on us that all the feedback we had seen online so far was pretty much positive.
Can you enjoy(ish) an episode and still find it maddeningly annoying? Listen and find out.
With the Giggle, there was “the story,” and then there was “the gargantuan seismic event that made the Flux look trivial.” It made for a long conversation, and I have broken it into two parts, which will be released over two consecutive days. Part One has already been released for our patrons on Patreon and will be released to everyone else on Saturday (UTC-07).
Menace Beneath the Waves
Yes, we did manage to get the time to record our podcast on the #UnderwaterMenace this past week, and it will be out on December 23rd, just in time for Christmas. Some might say it’s a Christmas miracle, but I wouldn’t.
This is our second take on the Underwater Menace, the first being back in 2016 when they released the story on DVD with the worst photo snap reconstruction in the history of time itself. It was so bad the Time Lords declared the whole thing a war crime.
Now, fully animated, it’s time to reconsider the story. It’s out now in the UK and will be released in the US in early January.
Onramp to the Fediverse
There’s a lot of trial and error involved in getting on board the Fediverse. This week, it has felt mostly like error.
When we first connected, everything we posted went live on the Fediverse. Yes, that’s more or less what we wanted, but there are no backsies. Once it’s out there, it cannot be removed.
Imagine my horror when it posted the scheduled post of #TheStarBeast and included the entire post, including the synopsis.
If you’re listening to Fusion Patrol, you know that there will be spoilers – the very premise of the podcast is that you have to watch the show first (or not be concerned with spoilers.) This is why I have no problem including the synopsis on the website; however, what goes out on the Fediverse serves a couple of different purposes, one of which is to try to induce new listeners to join us. To do that, you have to flag down people who, in the case of the Star Beast, are interested in #DoctorWho, so the content needs to be different, and basically just blasting out the entire plot line of a brand new TV show without content warning was just bad manners.
And there’s no way to delete it and try again.
I’ve not yet found a workaround, so this week’s #WildBlueYonder went out with no synopsis. That’s not ideal either, but for the moment, it will have to do.
This week, we also (finally) managed to get a test website up – this allows me to test changes to the Fusion Patrol website and the Fediverse integration without flooding your feeds with test messages. So far, every idea I’ve tried to reach a compromise has failed.

Really back into #DoctorWho!
The new specials were so fun, but that's not that hard, when you get Tennant & Tate back in the TARDIS. 😅
All in all #WildBlueYonder was by far my favourite. #TheGiggle & #TheStarbeast were good, but I found the Toymaker to be quite underwhelming.
Also finally got the BBC-Prime-channel to watch #Flux & 13th's specials, I haven't seen yet.
I thoroughly enjoy Flux & am still glad Chibnall put DW into a different gear for a while. It needs it from time to time imho.
