docbeard posted:On a related topic, if you had to pick, would you watch The Deadly Assassin or The Keeper of Traken? (Saving Logopolis for a first-and-last episode binge somewhere down the line.) (e. I've seen them all, but not for a very, very long time.) Deadly Assassin. The first and only good “Doctor goes to Gallifrey” episode, plus I’m not super-keen on Tom Baker’s last season. Right between Sarah Jane and Leela is a pretty great time in comparison.

Servoret posted:Deadly Assassin. The first and only good “Doctor goes to Gallifrey” episode, plus I’m not super-keen on Tom Baker’s last season. Right between Sarah Jane and Leela is a pretty great time in comparison. Thanks. Thinking of this as a rough lineup when I go through with it: One: Probably one of the new BF First Doctor Adventures, mostly because I want an excuse to buy the new BF First Doctor Adventures. Two: The Mind Robber look there is a character called The Master that is good enough. (Also I will probably take the opportunity to finally track down and read The Dark Path) Three: The Daemons. I need to sit down and properly go through the Pertwee years in general at some point, but I remember this one being talked up pretty highly as a highlight of the Delgado Master stories. Four: The Deadly Assassin Five: Time-Flight. BECAUSE I MUST SUFFER FOR MY SINS. (And because Castrovalva is his first episode and because I'm already throwing plenty of money at Big Finish for this exercise.) Six: The Mark of the Rani Seven: Survival would be the obvious choice, and I love it, but I again want to save it for an eventual First And Last Of Every Doctor binge. I've heard Master, and it's probably the least worst Lidster story I've ever listened to, but I don't really feel the need to hear it again. Oooh. Dominion fits the bill perfectly. Eight: Um...The Movie, clearly, but again, looking to avoid first and last episodes. Are there any particular Eight and the Master BF stories that aren't Dark Eyes (because I'm not quite ready to dive in there yet) that are recommended? Huh. It looks like The Light at the End is my other option, and I haven't heard that, and I clearly need to. Nine: Probably swap in one of the War Master stories instead because of course there's nothing else really that fits aside from MAAAAAAAYBE Simon Pegg's character from The Long Game. Ten: Comedy option: School Reunion. Probably end up watching The End of Time again because I love it AND I WILL FIGHT YOU Eleven: Missy's technically involved with The Bells of St. John I guess. Twelve: I used Dark Water/Death in Heaven for my Cybermen binge, and World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls is effectively Twelve's last episode, so probably The Magician's Apprentice/The Witch's Familiar. Wrap-Up: The Curse of Fatal Death

It's not Bob Holmes's fault that JN-T was constitutionally incapable of leaving well enough alone. Keeper of Traken is competent, but it's also one of many stories that you can quite comfortably cut half the running time from and it still works as a story and makes sense while losing nothing of value.

City of Death is a quote machine. "You know, I think something very funny's going on. Do you remember that man that was following us? He's standing behind me, pointing a gun at my back."

I hope in the opening the camera swooshes through the O and all the other letters fly away because look at it and try to say it isn't designed perfectly for that

Oh, that's better actually. Still, that is a mightily swoosh-throughable O in the middle there. Hey, I'm getting excited about Doctor Who again. It's a nice feeling. Also look at those big fuckin' boots. Those are some good rear end-kicking boots.

The jump in visual quality from RTD to Moffat (helped by the shift to HD plus Moffat blowing the entire loving budget) was pretty big, but so far everything done under Chibnal's watch has had an amazing stylized feel that I am absolutely loving. I cannot wait to see how it comes across in an actual full episode.

Yeah, it's sort of got an art deco thing going on for it. It feels really optimistic, which is fitting for the show.
