Bicyclops posted:City of Death has John Cleese and Julian Glover in it, it is written by Douglas Adams, and it contains some of Four's best lines, including "Well, you're a beautiful woman, probably," and "What a wonderful butler! He's so violent!" The "Does anyone care about history anymore?" shout is used in basically every montage that contains Four. It's pretty amazing. I still need to buy it. I have about half of Four's run; pretty odd I don't already have it. It's a tragedy Adams didn't live long enough to write for the current show. Of course, he'd probably just now be finishing a script for a Nine episode. That'd be what brought Eccleston back. Maybe.

"Into the Dalek" is okay. Predictable, but fun. Seems like a sequel to "Dalek" from season one.

So the Doctor performed some Venusian Aikido and there's an Ainley-clone. This is dumb fun.

Jerusalem posted:On the other hand, I love the UNIT "family" feel that develops with the Doctor being stuck in one time/place for any length of time, and it allows for some neat stuff with the Doctor grumpily experimenting on the console trying to work around the gaps in his memory the Time Lords shoved into place. It also makes for a pretty neat longer term (though probably unintentional) thing where the Doctor spends every moment he's "stuck" on Earth trying to escape, and the very second he's able to once again travel in time and space and go anywhere/anywhen in the universe, he CHOOSES to return to that time/place to hang out some more with his UNIT buddies Yeah, the Pertwee era is a fun run to me. James Bond with time travel. I kind of hope they'll do a season sooner or later where he's trapped on Earth for at least six episodes. That could be fun. Edit: It could be terrible too, let's not lie here. egon_beeblebrox fucked around with this message at 10:03 on Apr 9, 2015 |

Seven and Columbo teaming up would have been pretty awesome. If only for Seven failing to make Columbo a piece of his puzzle. Then Columbo could unravel the mysteries of time travel and go home to his wife and eat chilli, no worries in his mind.

I checked it "The Vault" from my library and am enjoying it a lot. I knew most of the trivia in it, but the layout and pictures are very nice. Also, my five year old nephew was just shown "The Eleventh Hour" and loved it. So that makes me happy.

whatsabattle posted:The all time worst Buffy related accent (besides Drusilla. And Kendra.) was Glenn Quinn's fake American accent on Roseanne. Not a fake accent, but Sarah Michelle Gellar' s way of pronouncing "Okay" in the later seasons drove me up the wall. It's been a while since I watched it, but I seem to remember that. So maybe I'm imagining it.

I kind of want a 6/River story where it's nothing but them trying to out-smug each other. Done right, it'd probably be funny. I give it a year before we have a full-on 10th Doctor story, Tennant and all. Hopefully with Donna as his companion.

My personal favourite Hartnell serials are the Time Meddler and the first episode of An Unearthly Child. Time Meddler owns so hard. The Aztecs, too. Til she saw those two, my wife didn't like any pre-Tom Baker serials.

Jerusalem posted:I'm positive they just put that giant clam into the story because they realized if they didn't have something awful then they'd have made a perfect story and it would all be downhill from there. The clam is part of what makes it the best story. Doctor Who needs ridiculous cheap props or monsters to truly be Doctor Who.

Rochallor posted:Logopolis also has one of the, if not the best, soundtracks of the series. It's this wonderful, bizarre little fairy tale and it's a great note for Baker to go out on. The whole season, really, is just of exceptional quality. JNT's Tom Baker season is his best to me. I don't like much of Five's run, Six is a trainwreck, and about half of Seven's run does nothing for me. All good Doctors, just a bunch of dull and/or bad stuff surrounding them sometimes.
