Back to Old Who

There are a couple of S3 DW mentions in here...

Four to Doomsday (Five, Tegan, Nyssa, Adric)
  • AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! TOCLAFANE BALLS!!! Five's going to start glowing and floating, isn't he? ISN'T HE?! Of course, Tegan's so pissed off right now, she'd promptly beat the crap out of him for starting to glow, convinced it was yet another excuse for not bringing her home.

  • And Adric makes a crack about women. Come here, you little snot-nose...

  • Heh. The Doctor talking about not being able to understand everything timey-wimey. Only his professor at the Academy did. I really do love that the Doctor isn't the most awesome Time Lord that ever awesomed.

  • 1) Tegan can speak an Australian Aboriginal dialect, which is cool. 2) No one else understands which means the TARDIS translator must be on the blink (heh.) 3) The *Doctor* can't understand – thought he spoke 10 million languages or something. This must be one he has to get to yet.

  • An element to this seems *really* similar to RotC, just without the Cybermen. Consciousnesses put inside machines, and the argument is that it rids hunger, age, disease, etc.

  • *slaps head* So not only is Adric *all* for the not!Cybermen, he tells them every last detail about the Doctor – strengths, weaknesses... Yeah, in this episode you can see why he's on so many's shit-list.

  • AAAAHHH! I have never wanted to beat the crap out of Adric as much as in this episode! Or Tegan should do it! At least he accidentally got knocked out when Tegan stomed past him, but...there should be more! OMG. Seriously, I am ready for my Adric punching bag at this point.


  • "Now listen to me, you young idiot..." The Doctor to Adric. MWAH!!!

  • Okay, why the big deal with the space suit in 42? The Doctor's just FINE with his normal duds and a rope. Yeesh! Ten's a puss.


  • And at the end, Nyssa faints. Which means...alien baby!!!

So I tried to watch this tonight, but couldn't finish it. I don't know, I was born at the tail-end of the 1980's and am quite possibly used to very good special effects, not dudes with crusty green paint on their faces that are like, totally, from another planet look they're green. I am liking Tegan though.

The Doctor's space mask thing looks like some sort of orthodontial head gear, Y/Y?

I think I have a love of the old special effects in an, "Awww! They just used a shower door for the mind chamber! *pinches cheeks*" way. :D

And awwww. Orthodontic Head Gear of Rassilon!

OMG! IT'S A CLASSIC WHO EPISODE I'VE ACTUALLY SEEN!

... and remember nothing about. Huh.

I'm pretty sure my favourite part was the Doctor floating out towards the cardboard blue box by hanging onto a rope. Yeah. He's badass that way.

Heh heh. It was another one of "why exactly are you attacking Earth? You think their technology is crap anyway, why not just start fresh on a different planet and make something really cool??"

Hey, do you still have the link for the Torchwood Babiez? Because I need to read them again. And see if there's more.

No more so far. I think I thought I saw they were hoping to get the next part out by Thanksgiving.

But FRICKIN adorable.

Perfect! Thanks!

I had commented and asked how they felt about the making of icons from it but haven't heard anything. I keep hoping, though.

I mean, the possibility of snagging images from the strip to turn into icons myself, not that I wanted *them* to make me icons.

I know I've seen some icons floating around, and I'm pretty sure people asked first. Maybe if you looked through comments on later parts? Dunno.
