Doctor Who Serial 138 – Vengeance on Varos

Part One Hey dude, I understand. I too hate when beams of light are shone on my stomach. The creature design in Doctor Who is so bad. This is something that Doctor Who still has a problem with. Also, this reminds me of the Star Wars prequels, all they talk about is trade. Wait. Peri is wearing the exact same outfit as the last story, except in blue, and this time properly fitting. So many dividends. Now I wish Vincent Adultman was in this episode of Doctor Who. Except those shorts. They do not fit. If they wanted to show off Peri’s body, they should have fitted those shorts a… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 138 – Vengeance on Varos

Doctor Who Serial 137 – Attack of the Cybermen

Part One Hello, season 22! Never split up when you’re in the wrong tunnel. That pink romper doesn’t fit on Peri very well, for one, her left boob is squished, secondly, it looks like it’s hunching her over. Oh, it’s a heist episode. The roundels look like they could use a fresh coat of paint. The head of this heist must know that being this much of an asshole will get these guys to rat on you if you get caught, right? Oh, it’s not a romper, it’s a unitard with a pair of shorts? Jamie could be a woman’s name, why is she so confused. Also, I miss Jamie.… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 137 – Attack of the Cybermen

Doctor Who Serial 136 – The Twin Dilemma

Part One Wow, I’m surprised they started Colin Baker’s era with a pair of lesbians playing backgammon. Well, it’s just their haircuts. Romulus and Remus are jackasses. Well, they’re doing a great job at making me think the Doctor is an asshole. Now that’s fashion! Peri’s outfit is great, though. So we have a terrible companion, and a Doctor who’s an asshole and choking her out. Oh! Bunny wabbit monster! Part Two What is with Peri’s outfit? The tartan top with no fitting whatsoever? I think the only point of that top is this shot I’m looking at right now that is right down her shirt. That skirt is way… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 136 – The Twin Dilemma

Doctor Who Serial 135 – The Caves of Androzani

Part One Wow, they layering of video is not very Doctor Who. And it looks horrible. I’d say those outfits are rip offs of Deep Space Nine uniforms, but this is a decade earlier. Peri screams as much as Susan. Android rebels???? YES! OH DAMN! I thought the red ones makde it look like DS9 uniforms. Now there are yellow and blue. And the Doctor just introduced Peri as Perpugilliam Brown. Someone was dropping acid when writing. I hate close-talkers. “Suggests I take 0.3 of a centilitre every day.” If you’re going to put in decimals and use a non-frequently used measurement of a litre, might as well just day… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 135 – The Caves of Androzani

Doctor Who Serial 134 – Planet of Fire

Part One Can we chant the title like it’s Wheel of Fortune? Planet! Of! Fire!!!!! Good necklace, my dudes. Oh! Their house is a series of domes. I like it. I like that vortex of smoke. “These items are fragile… except this butt plug.” Hmm, they filmed this in Spain. That’s a strange thing for Doctor Who especially how cheap it is. We know they will do it again for “The Two Doctors.” Kamelion being there must have confused so many casual viewers. And there’s Peri with a topless hunky man. Wow, Peri’s American accent is terrible. Oh, Peri likes the butt plug. Peri in a bikini is not a… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 134 – Planet of Fire

Doctor Who Serial 133 – Resurrection of the Daleks

Part One Oh, I’ve totally seen this story. These sound effects in the TARDIS really don’t feel like Doctor Who. I think this is the first 45 minute episode. Soon (21 years later) that will become the standard. I love how Doctor Who doesn’t seem to ever want to bother with floors. So often it just looks like bare studio floors. The walkways between the buildings make me think of the Distillery District here in Toronto. Don’t sit on the console! That seems inappropriate. Also, why is she smoking? Okay, so the reason this was broadcast as two 45 minute episodes was because the Sarajevo Winter Olympics was happening. That… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 133 – Resurrection of the Daleks

Doctor Who Serial 132 – Frontios

Part One Something I haven’t mentioned, I think this incarnation of the theme song is good. None are as good as the original, though. Why did they get the old man to do the mining. Well, he’s dead now. Or missing. When your boss tells you not to mention that one of your coworkers died, you should probably disobey that order. Well that hat stand hasn’t been used in a long time, so maybe the Doctor’s right to put it away. William Hartnell’s Doctor used it a lot. Sometimes I forget that we’re in the ’80s, because of how bad the graphics are in this, but then I see Tegan’s… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 132 – Frontios

Doctor Who Serial 131 – The Awakening

Part One I think the strangers the lady is talking about is the Doctor and his companions. That crack looks like the one that will eventually swallow up Rory Pond. That’s the jankiest transporter effect I’ve seen. “There’s been a confusion in time…” How does time get confused? Part Two Good thing the Doctor didn’t go into the crack in the wall. He was very close to joining Rory. Everyone knows how to work the TARDIS, except the Doctor. She’s never been in it before!

Doctor Who Serial 130 – Warriors of the Deep

Part One That’s very white. I want a big flashing light on the top of my head. Maybe it will distract from how bald I’m getting. Oh, this white room is a submarine? It looks like an office building. Part Two Wow Turlough, what a jerk. The Doctor was in the water for 2 seconds and you think it’s a hopeless cause? Remind me to never go swimming with that fictional character. Wow, that woman’s hair is taller than her forehead. Part Three Doctor Who loves long conversations between two aliens who don’t move in anyway when they talk. They really should have learned by now. It’s the 1980s. The… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 130 – Warriors of the Deep

Doctor Who Serial 129 – The Five Doctors

Doctor Who loves that “One day, I shall come back” clip. Richard Hurndall doesn’t look much like William Hartnell. “Just a twinge of ‘Cosmic Angst.’” That’s my band name. Cosmic Angst. The nerdy teenagers will love it! God damn, just 30 seconds with Patrick Troughton makes me happy. He’s so good. Best Doctor. The Brigadier says that someone is his replacement and Troughton replies, “yes, mine was pretty unpromising, too.” Now I have no idea how he knows that as a character, but damn, I love that line, so much. Jon Pertwee’s abduction wasn’t as great as I would have wanted. Sarah Jane has a greater part to play in… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 129 – The Five Doctors
