#8: SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!

OMG Batman is a meta… Kat goes on a rant on how everyone says that Batman is the best super hero because he has no super powers (other than he’s super rich, doesn’t make him a hero), and now….. in the Suicide Squad, he is classified as a meta due to his exposure to Nth metal. He is classified as such from all of our favourite super bitch Amanda Waller.

BBC has announced that the new doctor is (drum roll please) Jodi Whitaker and Butt Hurt Nerd Boys (BHNB)everywhere lost their collective shit. The Doctor can’t have a vagina. I’m sorry in your real world where time traveling space aliens exist there has never been a female doctor. But guess what there has been female doctors for years. But as we discussed in the last episode, even when it comes to space aliens, it is important for people to find themselves. Not all women want to be swept off by a madman in a box, some want to be the MadWoman. They don’t want to cosplay the companion, or the gender bent version of the doctor (they still will) but they want to be the doctor. Now with Giant Hoodie.

Now I will give the writing for the past Doctor was kind of heavy handed with the “hints” that the Doctor will be a woman soon. Bill’s writing was great. But the same way many newb Whovian’s stated that Peter Capaldi is not their doctor because he wasn’t cute and goofy like Matt or sexy like David; that is the same as the BHNB (butt hurt nerd boys) now saying that Jodi is not their doctor, and they will boycott Doctor Who. For those who don’t know the incarnations and regenerations.

#7: Kat got to explore one of her fandoms, geeky likes, nerd like passions… whatever you want to call it… But she went to see Eastern State Penitentiary. It is a jail that was built in 1829 and closed in 1971. This did pique Kat’s love of history (especially haunted history) and some psychological aspects in learning that when the prison first opened everyone was brought in to single cells with hoods on their heads so no one knew who they were, and their exercise yard was attached to their cells….individual exercise yards. Imagine doing 15 years of solitary confinement, because that is what it is.

Lea and Kat sat and discussed the importance of being able to find super hero’s or any comic character that look like us. The importance of being able to see that even though we are minorities that we can find someone to look up to even if they are make believe. In therapy we use pop figures (not really Funko Pops) to help get children who do not know how to verbally identify their emotions to at least begin with physical representation with characters such as Winnie the pooh or Kat’s favorites the emotes. (www.emotes.com), little action figure monsters that help children, identify, understand and express their emotions. Kat loves these toys. But with some of our older clients toys aren’t good enough Kat has utilized Comicspedia to help find comic books that will help clients express themselves by having similar situations the children might be going through. www.comicspedia.net Lastly Kat mentions Geek Therapy’s own data base they are still compiling, which when complete will have access to The Geek Therapy library can be found https://www.geektherapy.com/?s=library
