Doctor Who: The Web Of Queer

In this episode we review the Fourth Doctor story The Face of Evil. In our review, we discuss Leela’s introduction story. What did we think of how her character is initially introduced? Where did we have problems with the choices made for this story? And now we’re sad to say that the podcast is going on indefinite hiatus. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished with The Web of Queer, but unfortunately due various reasons we’ve had to acknowledge that it’s time for the podcast to end for now. Thank you so much to all of our listeners, we truly appreciate you all. That isn’t to say we’re gone forever, we might show up again with an episode here or there, and maybe someday we’ll be able to come back to the podcast on a regular basis.

In this episode of The Web of Queer, we review the Torchwood episode Greeks Bearing Gifts, and discuss experiences outside of one’s own orientations. (Content warning: The review and discussion include mature themes and isn’t appropriate for younger listeners. If Torchwood isn’t suitable for you, then you should probably skip this week’s podcast.) In our review of Greeks Bearing Gifts, we talk about Tosh and Mary’s relationship, and how unhealthy it is. Given the original plan for Mary to be a male character, how might the relationship have been perceived differently? We also discuss how Jack's description of a previous friendship is transphobic. (Content warning: This includes some mention of sexual abuse. To avoid this at 1 hour 14 minutes skip forwards 60 seconds.) In our discussion, we talk about experiences outside of one’s personal orientations. How these experiences might be perceived, and why they don’t change who a person is. How might a short term or long term relationship include such experiences, and why people may be afraid to discuss them?  Time Stamps: 00:00 Intro and content warning 01:21 Greeks Bearing Gifts review 51:35 Experiences Outside Your Own Sexuality discussion We love feedback!

Did we like the exploration of the inside of the Tardis? In our discussion, we talk about the split attraction model, and why separating sexual and romantic attraction is important.
