Plus the Children in Need minisode between Seasons 1 and 2 (10's first time flying), and the Time Crash minisode. But yeah, upon looking at the tardis wiki page for it, that was more of a Moffat thing than an RTD one. My bad!

God help me, I actually feel like rewatching the RTD years. I haven't seen most of them for 5+ years and I'm sure they've aged terribly.

4/4 now in my opinion, every episode has been good-to-great and this was right up there. Suchet was excellent of course, no surprise there.Looke posted:Missy is in the vault, calling it now I was 50/50 on that until the Doctor mentioned young people dying and,"Round the Mulberry Bush" (or was it Pop Goes the Weasel?) started being played merrily

Another week, another themed Big Finish Sale! The only thing I need this week is Jago & Litefoot & Strax...but I can recommend the 4th Doctor Cloisters of Terror.

That was an extremely good episode, I loved it. Nicely Gothic in the proper sense of the term, with creepy attic-bound people and such.

I enjoyed that. Agree with 4 for 4 so far, but that's probably not a surprise to anyone. Anyone listen to the "binaural" thing? I think it didn't add much except for when the house starts knocking from a bunch of different places, and it was pretty awesome then.

They could have done way more with it, Binaural stuff is pretty cool but it felt underutilized. I hope they do it again sometime but really go to town with it.

There was that and one bit where a knock came from behind and to the left that startled the poo poo out of me. I liked that a lot. David Suchet is another national treasure, even if he DID play Not-Saddam in Iron Eagle.

Especially the Eccleston season. I'm not sure how it wasn't canceled. It's loving awful. It gets better every season after that. Your mileage may vary as I think the Matt Smith era just after RTD left was the high water mark.

Watched Jamie Matheson do a live commentary of "Mummy" and he said the cigarette case full of jelly babies was 100% Capaldi's idea. He said "i would never put something like that in a script because it would be the same as saying 'We're big fans of Tom Baker and we wish you were him.'"

Oh, God, no, Piper and Tennant swooning at each other like horny high school students in the second season was just unwatchable. At least with the Eccleston season, we had Rose, Dalek, Boom Town, Bad Wolf, Parting of the Ways, Father's Day, The Empty Child, The Doctor Dances, The Unquiet Dead and The End of the World. Really, the only clunkers are the Slitheen two-parter and The Long Game. The effects are ropey as hell and of course the video quality is terrible, but the stories themselves are really very great.

I've heard of Hungry House, but this is ridiculous. Them bugs were cute tho. Also I bet he's got Bongo Bongo in there. Also also Peter Capaldi saying he'll busk it will always make me laugh McDragon fucked around with this message at 00:25 on May 7, 2017 |

I feel a bit in the minority; that episode didn't do a whole lot for me. It was fine, I didn't dislike it...but it was just "okay" to me.

That really gave it away and at this point, I'm sure only the thickest of people or most casual of watchers would still think it's someone else at this point or be surprised if it was Missy. (barring something boneheaded as putting a completely new character in there or something)

Hehe, 9th Doctor Chronicles pulls the same non-spoiler foreshadowing that UNIT does Rose: "This Christmas, we're coming home. Doctor: "Over my dead body..."

I've enjoyed all 4 episodes so far. Really looking forward to next week's space adventure. As I'm not in tune as the rest of you, are they going to need another ridiculous reason for him to be able to regenerate this season or have they resolved that already? Also Matt Smith best doctor fightmeirl.
