No, I didn't watch all of these yesterday.

The Time Warrior (Three, Sarah Jane)
  • Yup, still liking Three a whole lot! :) (Although, I do have a *facepalm* moment whenever he does his "KARATECHOP" noises.)

  • Had no idea this was a Sontaran episode. Yup, they're still ugly. And you'd think if they have one spot that's a weakness, that they'd invent some sort of armor for that spot.

  • Bad Guy: Are you from Earth?

    Doctor: No, I'm just a tourist. I like it here.

    Heh heh. That's an understatement. Another moment -

    Bad Guy: I care nothing for this insignificant planet! It can be destroyed!

    Doctor: *TWITCH*

    The Doctor's pretty much adopted Earth, hasn't he? :D The Time Lords can go dink around on Gallifrey, the Doctor's got Earth to play with. He's actually pretty obsessed with it. Probably the only Time Lord on the Earth forums, wondering why no one else wants to discuss WWI artillery with him...

  • Sarah Jane's first episode. Awww. :) And trying to women's lib the castle's kitchen staff - heh.


The Deadly Assassin (Four)
  • Apparently the only episode, up until The Runaway Bride, where the Doctor was companionless? But the only companion that really would have fit in this episode would have been Romana since it dealt with Time Lord politics, and she wasn't around yet.

  • Oh, Master. You cracked-out squirrel. Just *steal* the sash instead of coming up with a ridiculously circuitous plan that involves the Doctor Keanu-Reavesing it into the Matrix. And, really, Nine would have been the only one to pull off that moody black leather thing and the Master should have known that. Plus, no one really *needs* an evil clown.

  • Lots of technobabble about the Eye of Harmony. From what I was able to make out, what it is is that Rassilon was able to stabilize Gallifrey and some other planets in relation to a black hole. And it's through this stability that Time Lords get their time travel power. Betcha the Doctor destroyed that in the Time War. And then rigged the TARDIS to use some other power - he said in RotC (or AoS?) that the TARDIS draws power from the universe - whatever that means. Could be the Eye of Harmony (although you'd think you'd need Gallifrey around for that) or something else.

  • Doctor? The TARDIS needs a bath. Every time I saw it, I wanted to clean it.

  • Since the Doctor and this other dude (the one that got killed, right? or was it that other dude?) were the only two people running for President, I expected them to elect the Doctor President at the end of this episode. With wacky results. But that plot line just sorta died.

    "Congratulations, Doctor! You're our new President!"

    "Get the hell out."

    "No, really!"

    "No, really. Get the hell out so I can sneak away in the TARDIS."

  • Poor "obsolete" TARDIS. *pats her* ETA: Oh, ha! *Just* thought of this. They probably dirtied up the TARDIS just to make it look sort of obsolete. Kept wondering if the Doctor let her roll around in a mud hole for a while or something since it didn't seem *that* bad when he dropped Sarah Jane off.

  • ETA: Oh, and the Time Lords continue to be dicks.


The Robots of Death (Four, Leela)
  • I have found people who give the Goa'uld a run for their money in the fashion department. This episode was worth the "oh my God, we're *fabulous*" outfits alone. :D

  • Good old Laws of Robotics. For once I'd like to see someone in DW run across a robot where the Laws of Robotics *aren't* brought up. I'd also like to see a toaster on roller skates, but that'll probably never happen either.

  • At first I thought we might have an "And Then There Were None" plot happening, which would have been cool.

  • I did *not* understand at all that one guy who was the red herring. The one who suddenly developed robotphobia. If he *had* robotphobia, why was he fine around robots earlier?

  • The Doctor made bombs. Naturally. *pats* Someone needs to take him out to a stone quarry for a day, just so he can explode things.

    Doctor: Okayokay. See that G.I. Joe doll? NOT ANYMORE. *BOOM* YAY!

    Companion: Yeah, I'll be in the TARDIS.

    Doctor: Fine, but give me your hat before you go. It's looking rather too whole...
