For three seasons, Tom Baker's last and Davison's first two, they tried some actual science fiction mixed in with the usual less serious stuff. Davison's stuff doesn't work as well as Baker's, mainly because of the different script editors. But these three stories are classic examples of how some really creative…

Doctor Who Fans
Both The War Games and the Black Guardian Trilogy (Mawdryn Undead, Terminus, Enlightenment) are out today. War Games gets a bit draggy towards the 7th and 8th episodes (it's 10 eps. long), but the first 2-3 and the last 2 are some of the best ever. It's the end of Patrick Troughton's tenure, and the…

BIG BUT NOT SERIOUS PLOT OR SURPRISE DESTROYING SPOILER!

I love the last line and how matter-of-factly it's stated. When I first watched the series, years ago, I remember the anticipation for the following episode boiling over into laughter and clenched teeth smiles. It still does. For those who haven't see the last two episodes of The Prisoner, you are in for some amazing,…

End of the "Save the Cheerleader" arc. I honestly don't think they expected to go on any further, and didn't write anything "past" it. Now they've had to develop an entire show out of what was a fine miniseries.

Now he has enough time…
… to read your fucking script.

Blaa-Oh Blaa-Oh Blaa-Oh
Down, Black Tooth, Down!

I am sorry, Mr. McRib. I do crave my very existence, if only to eat you.

Fuck
Humanity has not only jumped the shark, it fell backwards upon landing, hit its head, and it now trying to sue the shark.

"…did not belong to the people who stole them."

How about dealing with the Native American aspects in more detail? You could do a full, 12-hour show over how many of the lands weren't actually the government's to begin with, or did not belong to the people who stole them. But that would be too much for Ken "just the stuff that'll keep my sponsors happy and older…

For Doctor Who fans…
… the great Barry Letts, producer of Jon Pertwee's tenure, and the man who hired Tom Baker. A fantastic human being with a long track record of great work at the BBC.

The whole reason for getting No. 6 to use a gun is just another attempt to get him to do what they want him to do, and it almost works. No. 6 seems to finally break here, and after this episode, gets more involved in The Village, despite his best attempts not to, which explains why he would try to stop the…

He's a great on-air guy who rides the line between food fanatic and rudeness very nicely. I watch the show because he's a good performer, not because I give two shits about eating contests. Well, except that Amarillo Steak I had, which required two shits.

I prefer the comedic stylings of his brother Skip.

Oh, it's enjoyable, just not as an episode of The Prisoner. Even the western one works better, and that's because it has better links to the program's plot than TGWWD.

KTEH Order
I can't imagine watching these in any other order than the KTEH one. The original order has "A,B…" so early that it destroys any sense of paranoia and accomplishment that they're trying to set up. Here, it starts the back half of the show, where No. 6 begins to understand that he must fight the system from…

In regards to the Al Green story, it was actually boiling water to make grits, not the grits themselves.

At least he has some food to eat. Other comedians would be starving right now.

Only reason I know the quote is that we watched Touch of Satan a couple of nights ago. I prefer to think that they have their lone pet Satan-fish in the pond.
