DW: #98
The Seeds of Doom (Four, Sarah Jane)
- See, when you're stuck out at a remote location, a scientist tells you the thing you just brought back is alive *and* ominous music starts playing, you'd better damn well listen.
- Why didn't they just take the TARDIS to the station instead of flying? Wait, did they take the TARDIS? I'm confused. The Doctor just doesn't seem like the tiny-bag-of-peanuts type. (Heh. Could you imagine? Ten minutes in and he'd be demanding to take the wheel. Or trying to make it go faster. Mwah.)
- This episode's reminding me quite a bit of that one X-Files episode – the one with the silicon asparagus.
- Quite interesting how the Doctor keeps insisting that people stop using the plant-guy's name, or former name. Maybe it's easier to destroy it/him if you're not using his name?
- Wow, the Doctor actually got into a couple of fist-fights this episode. I don't remember that happening too often.
- "Have you met Miss Smith? She's my best friend." AWWWWWW!!
- Why do bad guys always insist on delaying death for their enemies? And also, playing them really, really bad music that they have composed? Oh freddled gruntbuggly... Also, I had no idea botanists had henchmen.
- Pretty good job of making the bad guy more of a monster than the alien seed pod that was taking over the humans.
- "As a villain, I'm gonna put you into this machine that will provide a horrible death for you, but I'm not gonna have anyone stick around to watch, which will give you ample opportunity to escape. Mwahahaha...ha?" Heh. You know, one thing nice about DW is that you'll see the companion saving the Doctor maybe not *as* much as the Doctor saves them, but it's still quite a lot.
- Ooooh. The plant monster asks for the Doctor as a sacrifice for everyone else. But the Doctor refuses, not because he doesn't want to die, but he recognizes that if he dies, then everyone dies. He's everyone chance against this thing.
- Okay, it weirds me out just as much when Sarah Jane gets called a child as it did when Rose got called a child.
- Um...huh. Did the plant sex up the bad guy? He's lying on the ground, staring up at the sky, saying things like, "Yes. Yes! The plants must win." Which doesn't sound too bad, except for the lying there blissing-out thing. And they say this is a kid's show. Pffffft! Ah, later we find out badguy was "infected." Oh, he was infected all right. Plant lovin'.
- Yeah, that grinder/mulcher thing was making me nervous. *has Fargo flashbacks* *icks*
- Okay, for some reason this episode took me three days to watch. I have no idea why since it clipped along pretty well, and was fairly entertaining.

Hee! I know it's a popular choice, but I've always loved Four & Sarah Jane. They had such a great relationship. And like so many, they were my first exposure to Doctor Who.

Ha! Tell me about it. I'm not sure how old Sarah Jane was but I was engaged to be married when I was Rose's age. If someone had called me child back the, they'd likely have gotten a good earful, if not a smack.

They really are fun together. Of course, I'm finding there are very few Doctor-companion combinations I *don't* like. Heh. I like it all!

SJS's a reporter, so I'm thinking at *least* 23 or so. But I barely consider teenagers children anymore.

Hee! I know! They are all awesome. Well, there are a few companions that get on my nerves. They can't all be winners. But SJS & Four were my very first Doctor and companion so they will always be made of awesome. :D

I figured even older than that, actually. But yeah, if you can drive, you aren't a kid.

Twas where I lost my virginity to Who.
But I still love Two more...
SOunds like none of the villians in the WHoniverse ever read the 1001 things I'd do if I were an Evil Overlord. So unlike Bennett on Heroes who as soon as he got the drop on the bad guy, he shot him. No long winded speech - just boom!
Are you done with the Who yet?
no subject
No, not done with Who - 60+ episodes to go yet!

But I'll get back on track - one day...
