Episode 10: “A Good Man Goes To War” and “Let’s Kill Hitler”

Alasdair and Caroline welcome a special guest: Kate Kulzick of The A.V. Club and Sound on Sight! With her help we tackle a huge topic: Women, Feminism, and Doctor Who. In part one we talk about the strengths and weaknesses of each companion, look at the troubling tropes of Who mothers, explain just what’s so aggravating about Clara, and discuss whether or not the Doctor should be played by a woman. In the second half, we take a more in-depth look at Amy and River in "A Good Man Goes To War" and "Let’s Kill Hitler." Does Steven Moffat have a problem writing women?
