The Sensorites

More sewing projects!

"Strangers in Space"
'Long before you appeared on the scene' lol
I must be used to this overly dramatic nonsense, I've just sort of resigned myself to stupidity and poor decisions.

"The Unwilling Warriors"
They look like the Cantina Band's clarinetist...
...in footie pajamas...great.

"Hidden Danger"
A power hungry second in command who doesn't trust humans?! NO WAY!

"A Race Against Death"
Impersonations and mistrust! Great ><
lol zippers up their backs
Oh come on guys, this is like the most classic Scooby-Doo trick "noises and darkness!"
Deadly nightshade! wooooo!

"Kidnap"
Oh, it ends with a kidnap. Great. The girl, obviously.

"A Desperate Venture"
 Crazy people. Great.
Mind reading Susan looks insane.
This extra crazy men are just...so random.
Boy does the Doctor have a short fuse.

The Aztecs

Ok, so, I'm in CA watching with Paul now, and the reason I started this blog was because I wasn't watching with anyone and wanted to vent reactions, so...I don't know if I'll have the urge to type now...although I said that about the sewing project too so...we'll see....

"The Temple of Evil"
'That's what I call knowing your subject.' The fuck?
Where are the men...?
'Don't go too far...' ><
Jesus FUCK. How have we not learned not to separate yet?!
Oh...the Doctor did say 'don't wander off...' 9 hundred years and people still don't listen...
It's like...bad porn. Shitty premise and suddenly ADVENTURE instead of FUCKING!
Nice scrim...there's a crease in your sky...
Oh shit! We're locked in! Again!
Oy...creeper...he looks rather...'I'm into 12 year olds'
How is it that *again* in 2 minutes she's dressed as someone else?
Ooh...not being alone again...she's learning...ish.
Everyone alone again...great...
SO MANY CLOSE UPS!
The ancient art of Aztec slow-fighting!
Oh, that works out. Ian can just steal her...tada! How is this going to drag out for 4 episodes?
The Doctor's got his eye on a hottie sage...a spry 60?
Giant chicken! Where's Peter?
Hahah....send the victim out on her own...brilliant!
Great...Barbara wants to change the whole history...fabtabulous...I think this is actually our first statement of like 'don't fuck with the time stream'
'wave to the people! YAAAAY!'
CREEPER FACE!!!!
Woops...someone hit the camera.
Nice thunderstorm.
How does a murderer sacrifice dude think he can overrule a goddess?
OH GOD CLOSEUP INTO THE CAMERA!!!!!!!!
/me dies laughing

"The Warriors of Death"
Again, how has she not learned to not be fucking stupid yet?
Also, why does that sacrifice dude send off the servant of a goddess without her permission?
Vulcan death grip? Nope...sychin' him out..yup...Vulcan death grip. *thumbs up*
*poutyface*
A 'h'erb. Fantastic.
flirty!Doctor
Coneheads...wut.
Saw that coming...
Oh boy! Housewife training! 'do not cheapen yourself'?! with all that other nonsense?! pffffft.
wooh. cougar man!
Why does the Doctor's hair make a conehead on the back?
WTF with all the straight into camera shots?!
Yeah...sure he will....
Why is there always an asshole number 2? Marco Polo had this problem too...
hugs!!!!!
Way to go Doctor....You really just sort of suck...
'I have built up a resistance to iocane powder....'
Kidney shot!
More Aztecian slow-fighting!

"The Bride of Sacrifice"
That was easy...I'm glad some things have gone quickly for once, also that someone learned to just use a fucking weapon.
ooh Splitscreen! Magic!
No, the high priest is incorrect, let's go behind his back and be more awesome...
'A currency you can drink!' Sounds like a Nesquick slogan...
Oops...you just walked into a proposal of love...she is...going to be pissy...
Bravo...now we're in a he said she said...you could have just said you knew because you're a goddess...but no, you had to be all honest...
*spittake*
Oh...we didn't get Susan back? woops.
yay demolishing a sacred temple! that sounds safe!
penlight != sonic screwdriver. I am disappoint.
Why would you flood the tomb? or have that much water near the tomb...?

"The Day of Darkness"
Day of Drowning! Oh look! A map! (/trapdoor indicator) How was that not washed away by the water that was supposedly about to drown him?
True to form: cliffhanger resolved immediately in less than a minute.
Doctor, calm the fuck down...you know Ian is strong enough to move it...don't be so dumb.
Boy I am not used to the Doctor not knowing everything...
What a convenient leather strap...
I wonder if dinklefutz killed whatshername's other love?
Seriously, those feathers are so freaking distracting.
Can you say rape?
Tada!
I'm glad she's smart enough to not want to change history anymore. Let's get the hell out now...but we have a whole episode left...
The fuck!? Ian was strong enough on his own to let it down easy...
...this is so dumb. Okay fine, why don't they all just go to the garden? STOP SPLITTING UP.
OH SHIT. Another plot device! God. Damn. It.
Oh. I hope they put her in the tomb, that'd be fab.
How very existential.
Ian has a plan...and now the other dude looks like the giant chicken.
Thanks Ian.
Why don't you both go?! ooh. Sneaky Ian. I love that someone has a plan. An overly complicated one, but a plan nonetheless.
Convenient we have this ceremony in the same place as they hold her.
Where *is* the other nub?
Aha! Less slow Aztec slow-fighting! oh...no...still pretty slow. AHAH Just saw the side of the backdrop.
Nice eclipse.
Why are you still fucking there?!
Kind of Fires of Pompeii...
Doctor Who: Tomb Raider!

The Keys of Marinus

(So, I'm working on a sewing project so there won't be much typed, but I'd rather have a mostly empty blog post than nothing at all)

"The Sea of Death"
Heh. 'It's only a model'
It's probably nothing...yeah right. Also, way to both mess up your lines
OH GOD MODELS SO ADORABLE!
Why is Ian dressed like a pirate?
Was that a lizard-person? Like from 'Cold Blood' was it?
How is Susan so dumb about foreign worlds?
Oh, not quite the lizard, but a similar shape head
"The Indians of North America" ooh pre-PC!
It's good they've been through so much trouble together, they can recognize Susan's shriek.
AHAHHAAHAH "AAAAAAAAH" Love it.
Barbara run off and got in trouble? You don't say.

"The Velvet Web"
"Forbidden Planet" meets Persephone?
Perception filter?
Yeah...that column was really hiding you...
Snail brains?
Well that was annoying...

(Apparently I write less when I'm doing things other than sewing)

"The Screaming Jungle"
'Help I've fallen and I can't get up!'
Really? We don't recognize the TARDIS noise?

"The Snows of Terror"
What an idiot. Why would you leave your transporter? Idiot.
I hate douchey dudes who just cackle.
The crackling in the background is freaking obnoxious.
AHAHA The land of plastic wrap!
I'm listening to them pop bubble wrap? What is going on?
More crazy falling yells
The hell? How is it that everyone else didn't get knocked out, just Ian? And he's being framed for burglary? eh?

"The Sentence of Death"
Where the hell is everyone else?
Haha whoops. Huzzah to backwards legal systems.
The judges are wearing those things like you put on the feet of cooked birds.
Oops...and corruption

"The Keys of Marinus"
Sneaky bitch...I thought it was strange she took so long to rush to her dead husband.
Why aren't they just zapping themselves to the next place?
*pfft* One of the bad guys tripped over the doorway
Splitting up again?! And doing dumb things?! UGH.
I hope that's a planned trap and the Doctor gave him the fake.
Oh, no, Ian was the smart one. Well done
Oops, the old man went off too quickly. Poor boy didn't get to finish his line.
*pfft* SOO-SAN!

Marco Polo

Well, this should be interesting. These are reconstructed episodes that were missing.
Ooh color!

"The Roof of the World"
I wonder if this flashback was the original...I highly doubt it since they have the actor as an older man doing a flashback?
Oh. There's the usual theme...in COLOR!
OH. We have the audio, and lots of photos. Lovely.
NOOOOO Don't split up! >< Hasn't she learned yet?
SCREAMING! ><
Thanks subtitles.
Boy I hope Marco Polo isn't about to be a douche. Damn. There you go.
Doctor done lost his mind...

"The Singing Sands" That was...ok...

*~* Break while I took finals and did all sorts of other things not related to this painful adventure because 5 more just sounded like work *~*

"Five Hundred Eyes"
Oh how I've missed this panning over photos footage!
Crazy Marco Polo not knowing about condensation.
Dumb move Barbara. Don't follow him ><
Angry gurgle!
Yeah, cause yelling was a great idea...

"The Wall of Lies"
Boy can those women scream...
Seriously, why doesn't everyone just be like 'Tegana, you're a douche. We don't believe you.'? Oy. This is irritating. How can a leader supposedly as legit as Marco Polo be so stupid and easily swayed? ><
Way to go with a plan...
Was that the Doctor laughing...again?
Why wouldn't you trust your supposedly most loyal servant?
Yeah, that's what I thought...

"Rider from Shang-Tu"
We suddenly have an Italian man who is supposedly Asian? Sounds like a lady, with a mustache?
A betrayal by Ping-Cho? You don't say...Maybe you should have been kinder to her...Idiot.
Oh. Sneaky bitch. Found a loophole.
Susan is not very bright...

"Mighty Kublai Khan"
Yeah...cause patchy looks so trustworthy....
Seriously, his title is War Lord...how the hell does that sound trustworthy?
I'm super bummed I don't get to watch the Doctor and Khan toddling out together.

"Assassin at Peking"
Ah. The Khan sees Tegana's an ass. Maybe he is fit to be in charge.
*phew* Finally. 7 parts and we're done... ><

The Edge of Destruction

"The Edge of Destruction"
Suddenly, we've all forgotten everything...'heart' only one?
Aie. Approaching controls -> spinny spasms. Great.
Shadows? Vashta nerada? Oh god the screaming >< Theramin?..oh. the end. That was quick. Much better pacing than the previous.

"The Brink of Disaster"
Midnight much? This is way bizarre. Very 'Suspense'.
Srsly? We just almost got destroyed because of a sticky button?! ><
Snowball fight in the Tardis!

The Mutants (Daleks!)

"The Dead Planet" (Planet of the Dead?...I miss David...)
'Stay near the ship' she's a quick one. I wish more of them were like that.
Whenever they talk about the TARDIS taking them places, I think of Idris talking about taking the Doctor wherever he needs to go etc
Why do they keep wandering out into the worlds without any clue where they're headed?
A cross between lembas bread and that Wonka bubble gum that is a full meal
Conniving bastard...that was a bit dangerous, breaking the TARDIS...
Why didn't they double-check the radiation levels?
Barbara? Lost again? You don't say...EYESTALK CLIFFHANGER!

"The Survivors"
DALEKS!!!!!!! Same voice. More active stalks...One of them has a stuffy nose...Huh. Shoot to maim. That's new. Heh. Radiation sickness. How 60's. I miss the Tardis being able to pop in and out of secure rooms to save people.

"The Escape"
Another epic war with Dalek kind >< New Dalek with man inside. Great.

"The Ambush"
S'a bit slow moving...ARG And more regression...welp. Back to the city I guess

"The Expedition"
Jesus Christ! Even the Daleks are obnoxious when injured and wailing!
Sonic chamber. That reminds me: still haven't seen the sonic screwdriver.
Why would you wash your face in mutant water?! Some of these sound effects remind me of Lost. Or maybe it's just the jungle.

"The Ordeal"
That building was a screw...gotta love a model!
Arbitrary knowledge of "Ladies first"?
Okay, okay, we're getting everyone across...surprise, surprise, the nub who wanted to turn back endangers Ian.
LITERAL CLIFFHANGER!!!!!!!!!!

"The Rescue"
Welp.

That whole thing was far longer than it needed to be.

An Unearthly Child

"An Unearthly Child"
The TARDIS noises and exterior are the same as the new version. It's remarkably comforting since the Doctor is kind of a dick. He has such disdain for humans. I wonder if his granddaughter's love of them is what makes him come around. She oddly sounds French? I've found myself surprised at how good the acting/production is. I was expecting something...campier?

"The Cave of Skulls"
Welp. There goes the chameleon circuit. Lots of other people's issues...Lots of cliffhangers... (I was setting up the blog during most of this one so...not a lot of commentary)

"The Forest of Fear"
Creepy old lady is smelling rocks...what?
Oh. There's the 60's shrieking woman.
I've realized what else makes this familiar. The sound quality of the dialogue reminds me of the old radio shows. Delicate death...oh. Not dead.
Conniving girlfriend. Mysterious monster sounds like the Lost island smoke monster.
Barbara is an annoying hysterical mess...>< Wow...that native woman is more annoying. Oh god. And Barbara is too damn headstrong..."Don't wander off!"
Hah pouty Doctor. That's no surprise.

"The Firemaker"
Good old mob mentality...It's interesting to see how much this series of episodes shows how the Doctor is influencing the people he visits. Way more than the new stuff.I wonder why the Doctor's party doesn't help the caveman they want to succeed. It seems silly. Fire looks funny on screen. Another thing you don't see now: slightly misspoken lines. I like it. Barbara falls down: still the most useless person in the group.

MOAR CLIFFHANGER!!

A New Adventure

I've just started watching the old Doctor Who from the beginning. I figure to keep me busy while I watch, I'll blog a bit with questions, predictions, commentary, etc. Spoilers *will* abound. Fair warning now.
