I like the villains being just a bunch of assholes and that Slitheen is their name, not their species (something Moffat annoyingly forgot and kept calling them the Slitheen species). I just don't want to have to watch those episodes E: as far as unpopular opinions, I liked the sequel episode, I forget what it's called. Oh Boom Town. People seem to think it's trying to say the Doctor is no better than a genocidal mass murderer (maybe it is since at this point in the series that's what he was) but him being morally superior to the Slitheen doesn't negate the fact that she makes some good points about him, and it's a darker insight into his character 2house2fly fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Aug 17, 2018 |

Wheat Loaf posted:"Aliens of London" was also significant because it's where the revival established that the companion could and would go home to visit between adventures. Established it for the revival maybe, the Third Doctor's companions had lives and dates and all sorts of stuff.

2house2fly posted:(something Moffat annoyingly forgot and kept calling them the Slitheen species) I don't remember if they were ever explicitly stated to be a species in the Moffat era, but I always pictured them as a very big crime family. Like when the Yakuza games mention the Dojima Clan or something; yes, calling a ship 'Slitheen' is technically simplifying it, there's non-Slitheen on there, but the Slitheen family own it and are pulling the strings.

Now I'm picturing a Yakuza style intro for all the Slitheens and it's retroactively making those episodes better. Thanks Doctor Who thread.

I would be curious seeing a Slitheen come back at some point since I imagine they would make them look pretty awesome.

And then she is totally traumatized and leaves in an angry huff and it tears the Doctor apart. Tegans departure is some powerful stuff.

Rhyno posted:And then she is totally traumatized and leaves in an angry huff and it tears the Doctor apart. Tegans departure is some powerful stuff. It's one of the first seeds of an element that became more prominent in the revived series, namely the idea that the companions aren't always having jolly japes and larks 100% of the time, and often suffer very real emotional distress as a result of their travels with the Doctor. You can also look back at Victoria's departure in "Fury from the Deep", too, for another example. The Doctor and Jamie are having a wonderful time knocking around space and time, without any woes or cares...and meanwhile, Victoria is missing her father, basically just feels out of place, and eventually realizes that she's miserable and fed up with all the constant danger, and decides to stay on Earth and live a normal life.

I mean this is in all seriousness, it's hard to think of a better bit of writing than that section in The Mind Robber where the Doctor starts to type up their victory in the Land of Fiction before stopping as he realizes that doing so would mire them further into the realm of fiction and ultimately be their defeat.
