Chicks Unravel Time: Women Journey Through Every Season of Doctor Who by Una McCormack, Lynne Thomas
4.0
In this, the companion volume to Chicks Dig Time Lords, female fans of "Doctor Who" go through every season--more or less--and write about aspects of the show that changed their perspectives, or that they take issue with, or that they simply wish to praise. Every incarnation of the Doctor is discussed (including the Eighth Doctor, in case you were wondering!), sometimes more than once. And the overall result is... timey-wimey.
These essays, written by science-fiction authors in the main, touch on all kinds of subjects: the role of the companion, the changing face of the fandom, the use of music in Classic Who, the (questionable) science of "Doctor Who," even spirituality. They're thoughtful, well-written, and often amusing as well as thought-provoking. Once you've read this (and Chicks Dig Time Lords), you'll never look at "Doctor Who" in the same way again.
