Doctor Who Serial 117 – Four To Doomsday

Part One “That’s the trouble with women, mindless, impatient and bossy.” The problem with Adric saying that is not that Adric thinks that, which he does, but I think the writers of Doctor Who believe that. Oh yay! They all get to wear the stupid helmets, not just the Doctor. The team have split up, so I guess Adric and Nyssa are going to get captured. The aliens are very interested in human fashion. I really hope that they’re just editors for an intergalactic Vogue. Well, I was wrong. Only Nyssa got captured. Well, that was fast. Is that the real Nyssa? Okay, I don’t think this any more. However,… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 117 – Four To Doomsday

Doctor Who Serial 116 – Castrovalva

I guess we’re really done with Tom Baker, and it’s time for Peter Davison. Part One Some military police arrive and stop our heroes from rescuing the Doctor. Tegan and Nyssa steal an ambulance, drive it 3 metres to the TARDIS and leave Adric behind. Then the Master shows up, laughs, disappears, Adric is behind the Master’s TARDIS, comes into the TARDIS, they leave, the Master’s TARDIS shows up, the Master laughs, the Master’s TARDIS disappears. That was… something. Davison has a terrible haircut, but I enjoy him tearing apart his scarf. “I wonder boy, what would you do if you were me,” he asks with his hands in his… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 116 – Castrovalva

Doctor Who Serial 034 – The Macra Terror

Part One Well the companions are being idiots and attacking the first person they see. Sure he has a terrible hairdo, but that’s no reason. Why have we never had a bearded Doctor? “No one ever left alive in nineteen hundred eighty five will ever doooooo!” Part Two Those uniforms are amazing. The collar is so high, and the shoulder pads are good enough to be Romulan. That was the problem with Star Trek: Picard. not enough shoulder pads. There is no macra!!!! Those electronics are fragile, if you knock on them, you shouldn’t pop out of the wall. Oh, there is indeed a macra, what a crabby beasty. The… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 034 – The Macra Terror

Doctor Who Serial 030 – The Power of the Daleks

Part One I was excited for a Patrick Troughton episode. I love the second doctor and Jamie… then I see this is the one story without Jamie. Well, it’ll be 2 and Ben and Polly. I can live. I like the shot looking down the risey fally bit of the console. Oh Doctor, you should’ve kept that hat. Ben and Polly really just assumed that he’s the Doctor. The Doctor hasn’t said it. Creepy! Part Two The original theme and opening credits were truly the best. Lesterson’s glasses are fantastic. Don’t think they’d suit my face, though. Lesterson should listen and not try to reactivate a Dalek. Why is Polly… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 030 – The Power of the Daleks

Doctor Who Serial x – K9 and Company

The opening credits might be the greatest thing that’s ever been in the Doctor Who universe. K9! Peter Tracy is a looker. Sarah should go for him. God, I would never stay at my aunt’s place if within 10 minutes of arriving 3 strangers showed up to see how I was doing. Jesus, just let her be. Wow, Ward knows way too much about a future robotic dogs. I think this is the first Doctor Who christmas episode. K9 is very obviously a robot dog and not the familiar of a witch. Peter Tracy doesn’t want to be a witch. So Sarah Jane leaves someone’s house. They are rude and… Read More »Doctor Who Serial x – K9 and Company

Doctor Who Serial 115 – Logopolis

We’re here. The final Tom Baker story. I’m gonna take a Doctor Who break soon. After this I’m going to watch K-9 and Company, which is the next Doctor Who item to air. Then I’ve got two serials that were animated that I didn’t watch before. After that I’m not sure how long it’ll be before I start up Peter Davison’s era. Maybe a year, maybe a day. Who knows. This past week seems like it was a whole year with this pandemic. Part One Oh that’s the Master’s TARDIS, just so happened to masquerade as a police box. The Doctor doesn’t do a great job of communicating with people.… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 115 – Logopolis

Doctor Who Serial 114 – The Keeper of Traken

Part One I started the episode, and then I got distracted by online grocery shopping. So that’s ten minutes of the episode without any commentary. Cassia’s hair and eye shadow are on fleek, is that what the youngin’s say now… on fleek? I’m hip. It reminds me of Working Girl, which I watched last night. “It looks almost alive,” says Adric as he approaches a stone like man who looks in no way alive. I like the beards in this episode. Oh shit, rock boy just vaporized the TARDIS.1 Damn, that’s bad timing for the Keeper to shout out “EVIL!” as soon as he see Doc and Adric. Part Two… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 114 – The Keeper of Traken

Doctor Who Serial 113 – Warriors’ Gate

Part One This feels like a Beckett play. “We have lift off,” two bored dudes shout, “yay!” Okay as this goes on, this feels more and more like a Beckett play. Every time they say “time winds” I assume they are talking about “time farts.” The dude just said more people were coming. Why don’t Adric or Romana think it’ll happen? “Give me a printout.” Part Two Cobwebs and skeletons, they’re covered in grime1. Vladimir and Estrogan are still sitting in the same spot, providing commentary. I think I missed something, why is K9 walking backwards? “This is important, I need you to do it.” “Energy levels critical.” “Oh, come… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 113 – Warriors’ Gate

Doctor Who Serial 112 – State of Decay

Part One This felt like Monty Python for a second. The Great One is rising, and wikipedia told me that he is a vampire. I’m afraid of this episode. I hope it’s not as bad as… “Immature humanoid, non-hostile.” K9 is very descriptive about Adric. Oh man! That cross dissolve to the bat was supposed to be dramatic… it was not. C’mon Adric, they’re giving you soup, now you’re asking for cheese? Part Two You call that a tower? My apartment building is much bigger. Romana needs to learn how to clink glasses without cutting herself. I’m liking Adric. Part Three People too often want to share power with the… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 112 – State of Decay

Doctor Who Serial 111 – Full Circle

Part One Apparently it’s Adric’s first episode. I don’t know if that’s a good thing. Let’s find out. Who blocked this shot? The Doctor is having a conversation with K9 and he’s hidden. I like that Romana wants to stay on the TARDIS, but the Doctor should help her. As those people stacking watermelons? Are they fishing for watermelons? Or is that squash? Yes, definitely squash. Doctor Who‘s incidental music is some of the worst incidental music. Part Two This episode is very boring. That dude looks like Peter Davison. Part Three Oh, the squash is an egg for terrible arachnid puppets. Oh no! They’re attacking Romana! This set is… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 111 – Full Circle
