Too be fair, Paris isn't famed for it's sunshine.

I just watched that. I will never forget Tom Baker blowing the giant green penis. Ever. I looked the story up and apparently they hastily redesigned Erato (IVAVU!) because it looked too phallic. What the hell did it look like before?!

"Seville? In the high summer? Might as well be western Oklahoma."
As a kid in Peterborough Englandshire, Western Oklahoma would have been pretty damn exotic.

I mentioned Frontios upthread, but that also makes a lot of sense, as Mawdryn Undead leaves a lot hanging. Also, I love Enlightenment and have a stupid anecdote about someone who was in it.

Agreed. My favourite stories for each Doctor. Fenric even made Dragonfire and Silver Nemesis better by the coolest retconning ever. That in itself is pretty damn impressive. Actually Curse of Fenric is a great ending to a story arc you didn't know was there and for maximum impact it's best after watching the complete…

The Jagaroth's meddling with time is wrecking reality and breaking the narrative itself.

Creature From The Pit was filmed before City of Death and she was working with lines hastely adapted from lines written for Mary Tamm, hence the aloofness. So she's not going off in that but getting the hang of it.

Shouldn't we save that for last?

Frontios! It leads straight into Resurrection of The Daleks, breaks up the two weakest Dalek stories, is really good and is the most referenced (blatently ripped off) classic episode for New Who, having been the basis for Utopia and The Hungry Earth. Much has been said of Steven Moffat making ordinary things scary…

Yes it is, but there is a more obvious choice.

Do you think Games Workshop would do a comemerative Bill Bailey space marine miniature?

I guess some of us come at this from opposite starting points. I watched The War Games and thought "Hey, it's The Master!" and then rewatched Terror of The Autons along with AV Club and thought "Hey it's The War Chief!"
It wasn't sitting around tying up ends it was a kneejerk reaction which made total sense to me.

It was revenge for Mary Poppins!

Yup. It's more disconcerting to see Rentaghost.

I do wish they'd gone with the other lords. It had potential, although on the other hand it could've bogged down the series with even more mythos.

The change from War Chief to Master is about fifty times less severe than from any generation of The Doctor to the next and he's a Time Lord so not wiped out with the War Lord's people. The Master is introduced as an old enemy with a fair resemblance to the War Chief, whose real name was never revealed. Unless that is…

Clearly they were stealing the rocks.It makes sense now! Otherwise where did they go?

Hey! Spoilers! (I've seen it, but other people…) I don't find The War Games at all draggy; it's too much fun! Also, we have plenty of time to watch it, so no need for viewing fatigue. (It's a shame we're going bi-weekly but oh well.) I might watch an episode every few days. It'll be difficult though, as many of the…

They were dead set against modern day settings at that point or even near future or recent past. I sort of agree. I like the idea that the companions are from our real world rather than some fantasy version and that all this wild stuff is really possible out there. I know it isn't but I can get invested in a story…

There's a bit near where they find the bomb in Ep 2 or 3 where a Dalek decends as it goes through an arch giving the impression (very vaguely) that it's going down steps. They couldn't show the actual steps but that's the impression I got from it.
