The same sort of poor writing that has us believe that a squad of Russians are going to haul off the room-sized Ultima machine in a rubber raft?

Yeah, it's like NuWho.  It starts off with a recognizable but markedly inferior version of the theme song.  It's barely coherent.  The pace lurches all over the place.  It's rushed where you wish they'd slow down, and it grinds along where you wish they'd hurry up.  The Doctor's companion crosses the line from sexy to…

Well, Chynna from WWE is doing hardcore porn now.  She's pretty well-hung for a woman.

He's up there with George Evans as far as underrated EC artists go.  While I wouldn't rank him among the greats of Mad (I think his less-cartoony style was a bit of a hindrance there), his work on the war comics was just stellar, especially his collaborations with Bill Elder.

These are definitely better watched in the original 45-minute format.  The same goes for watching the 90-minute version of "The Five Doctors".  That way you avoid the painfully embarrassing cliffhanger of Sarah Jane vs. the Gentle Slope.

Aside from the Der Stürmer-level caricature of a money-grubbing Jew, I rather like "The Sun Makers".  The production values are in line with what I expect from 70s Who, though it is painfully obvious that precious little of the budget went into Marn's off-the-rack velour tracksuit.  I agree that the satire is a bit…

I always liked Baker the Lesser too.  It might be partially due to the fact that I'm a huge jerk who shares JNT's atrocious taste in garish Aloha shirts.

The are also probably the gayest thing ever to appear in the classic series.  They're like Mad Max meets Tom of Finland.

The Mütter Museum has a jar of bezoars on display.  Why?  Because it's the most awesome museum in America is why.

Banh mi!

Infocom sold a t-shirt that said "I got the Babelfish".  I was so fucking proud of doing just that, I almost bought it.

"Enlightenment" is definitely the crown jewel of the trilogy.  The Eternals are a great creation, and the idea of sailing ships racing through space is inspired (and it has Leeeeeee John!).  "Terminus" is a distant third, Nyssa's knickers notwithstanding.  (I'm more of a Tegan man myself.  "A mouth on legs"?  Oh, the…

Two-thirds of the Black Guardian trilogy are among the rare Davison serials that rise above merely average.  Somewhat paradoxically, the thing that holds them back from being among the greats is being part of the Black Guardian trilogy.  Mawdryn and Enlightenment are cracking stories, but they screech to a halt…

I doubt anyone else has seen it, but "Scrapple" has a brief animated scene in which the titular pig achieves enlightenment after eating a box full of Nepalese Temple Balls.

This was my absolute favorite album in 1983.  I had a Quiet Riot poster in my bedroom.  I used "Mr. Dubrow" as a character in a short story for school.

"The Ambassadors of Death"

Revelation is my favorite Colin Baker serial, but my tolerance for Alexei Sayle is atypically high.

Yeah, Nightmare isn't too terrible either.  I like the German space hippie scientist and stoned-out-of-his-mind Captain Irongron.  Romana's outfit is a travesty though.

It's a pun.  Paris, cite de l'amour sounds a lot like cite de la mort.

That's not a bad idea at all, but it is a lot of Tom in a short period (not that I would really object to that).  I'd suggest further breaking it up by adding in the remaining parts of the Black Guardian Trilogy.  Stick "Terminus" between Destiny and Revelation and tack "Enlightenment" onto the end.
