Doctor Who Reactions: "The Three Doctors" (SPOILERS)

1)Looking for a way to celebrate the show's tenth anniversary, Barry Letts and Terrance Dicks decided to act on the fan suggestion of having the three Doctors meet, an idea which was unfortunately hampered by the fact that William Hartnell was suffei

Doctor Who: 'Revelation of the Daleks'

From the blog...

Gaius:
"It's as if the plundering of the series' own past is finally catching up with the present until there's nothing left to eat anymore."

Oh, that's good. "SOYLENT GREEN IS MADE OUT OF PEOPLE!!!!"

I loved Orcini in this. Ha

Doctor Who: 'Enlightenment'

From the blog...

I was gonna skip all of Season 20, but a friend kept reccomending this as one of the "best" Davison stories, so I figured I'd make an exception.

It does have a clever concept, the designs are nice, several of the characters ar

Doctor Who Reactions: "The Time Monster" (SPOILERS)

1)The surprise return of the Master (Sarcasm!) as he once again tries to control an alien menace that he has no real chance of dealing with. It occurs to me that you can't really call him a "Master of Disguise" since he doesn't really try to disguise

Doctor Who: K-9 And Company

From the blog...

Let's see... they named it after the dog instead of after the most popular girl they ever had on the show, so the name of the show is stupid. The opening credits are awful, the theme song (if you can even call it that) is even wo

Doctor Who Reactions: "The Sea Devils" (SPOILERS)

1)Always liked the Sea Devils - I think they're a better design than the Silurians. Also, I like their whispery voices - it makes them sound more sinister - although when they're injured they have a tendency to sound like distressed parrots. A shame

Doctor Who Reactions: "The Curse of Peladon" (SPOIERS)

1)This is another of my favorite early ones. Letts and Dicks deny that this was consciously about Britain's entry into the EEC, but Dicks allows as how it may have been "in the writer's mind" at the time.

On the commentary track, Katy Manning allows

Doctor Who: 'The Visitation'

From the blog...

Philip Sandifer:
"Doctor Who is spending more time figuring out how to get more captures and escapes into its format than it is on character-based storytelling. This while simultaneously trying to act more like a soap and have ch

Doctor Who: 'The Two Doctors'

From the blog...

Philip Sandifer:
"He fixed it by creating the Androgums - essentially the same concept only now they’re food-obsessed instead of war-obsessed - and having them be humanoid enough that nobody was ever going try to reuse them as ge

Doctor Who Reactions: "Doctor Who and the Silurians" (SPOILERS)

1)This was one of the first Doctor Who stories I ever saw, way back in the dim and distant era known as the 1970's - and I still find it quite watchable today, nearly forty years later. Apparently it stemmed from Malcolm Hulke saying that the new "E

Doctor Who Reactions: "The Happiness Patrol" (SPOILERS)

This is one that I had on VHS, so I have seen it lately. Still it was nice to be able to watch it on disk finally. I've always liked the idea of this story - I've always especially loathed any attempt to enforce happiness. True happiness only comes

Doctor Who Reactions: "Dragonfire" (SPOILERS)

Another long-awaited transitional story, with the departure of Mel and the arrival of Ace. McCoy and Aldred were to become one of my favorite Doctor/companion combos, so it's interesting to see the beginning of it again. It' s been said that in the o

Doctor Who Reactions: "Nightmare of Eden" (SPOILERS)

Taking a break from the Pertwee era, as the latest DVD releases arrived yesterday, and I had the day off, so I had me a little Doctor Who mini-marathon. We start with a Fourth Doctor story, one that was fairly troubled behind the scenes, as the dire

Doctor Who Reactions: "Spearhead from Space" (SPOILERS)

1)We open a new era for Doctor Who with a new title sequence and this new-fangled thing called color filming. Those of you who are old enough may well remember back in the day how much noise was made about TV shows being shown "in living color", whe

1)And so, we come to the end of the Troughton era, with a ten part story that was never supposed to be a ten-parter, but only became so after the plannned four- and six-parters fell through. Written in tandem by Terrance Dicks and Malcolm Hulke, it g

Doctor Who Reactions: "The Seeds of Death" (SPOILERS)

1)Here we have the second appearance of the Ice Warriors as they try to again conquer the Earth. It's an OK story with some major plot holes. The main one is that I find it extremely difficult to believe that the human race would give up all other fo

Doctor Who: 'Full Circle'

I thought I'd re-post my comments from the TARDIS Eruditorium about "FULL CIRCLE" here, because, well... just because.

Doctor Who Reactions: "The Invasion" (SPOILERS)

1)Episodes One and Four of this story were "lost". However, back in the 60's some fanboys taped the soundtrack off of the TV and kept the tape. Lo, these many years later, for the DVD release, the BBC hired an animation house to animate the lost epis

Just watched this again last night. I've seen every story from this period so many times I've lost count, so I think it's safe to say I've given it every chance. It was very impressive at first... but I always felt like I was missing something regard
