Well, everyone, here we are in the final official original three serials of the great & mighty Troughton rewatch-athon! Next week will be entirely devoted to the final serial of Two, Jamie & Zoe's - The War Games. I'll have it up on early Saturday morning, as usual, but I'll hopefully watching two serials a day, recapping each one in its own separate segment. (it's a ten-episode serial & it . . . it's not very pleasant. I mean, it has its moments, but if you know anything about Two's era, you'll know why I'm so uncomfortable with it.) After that, the rewatch-athon will be in its final stages, which will look something like this:

Next week: The War Games, picspam & mix postings.

Week after: Spearhead From Space, The Curse of Peladon & The Three Doctors. (the first two are sort of bonus stories; the first bridging the gap between Two & Three's eras, the second one starring Patrick's son David as King Peladon. & of course, The Three Doctors needs no explanation!)

Week after: The Five Doctors, The Two Doctors & Jamie's Companion Chronicle Helicon Prime.

Final week: Midnight & wrap-up party.

Note: I know most of you know that I've broken almost all ties with the new series (until Eleven arrives, anyway), but I'm including Midnight because it features David Troughton as one of the main characters - by including it, I'm coming full circle, as I see it. It's like this: if it hadn't been for the new series, I never would have came to the classic series & never would have found a) half of you lot & b) so many of my favourite serials & my three favourite Doctors. So, while I'd rather not sit through Midnight again, for David Troughton, I shall do it with pleasure.

I'll reiterate most of this next week with my recap of The War Games, but due to the nature of that story . . . coherence will be a bit of a fluke, if I can even pull it off by the end.

Anyway, that is next week, & it will all come in time, won't it? For now, we've three fabulous serials for this week, beginning with The Krotons, which was the second serial I ripped into after I watched The Dominators when I got them.

Also, interestingly enough, this serial combines everything I've been doing in the rewatch - serials, audios & .avi! If I had a recon we'd be all fitted out, wouldn't we? ::laughs::

The Krotons

- O hooray! This is a serial written by Robert Holmes! He did so many of my favourite Four era serials, so I tend to be quite fond of his work.

- Man, EVERY TIME they mention the Krotons, I'm going to think of Kroton the Cyberman. Who is WAY more awesome than these Krotons, but that's for another time.

- Awww, Two's using his umbrella as a parasol of sorts! How cute!

- HELLO ZOE HERIOT & YOUR ABSOLUTELY HOT OUTFIT! ::waves excitedly:: LOVE the scarf, skirt & boots! & her HAIR!

- Random fashion note: Jamie's little kerchief is UTTERLY adorable! It looks like a school tie, almost.

- The chick who's about to go into the machine has a sort of Brigitte Bardot-esque hairstyle, I think. Just not as long & rumply.

- 'We are friends!'

(everybody in the room levels their swords on Two)

'It's alright, don't be afraid!'

Jamie (whispering to Zoe): 'Trouble.'

::gigglesnorts:: Two, why so cute?

- 'Aye, you wouldn't be so brave without these guards around you.'

- JAMIE! DON'T CHALLENGE ALIENS TO FIGHTS! Wait, on the other hand . . . you can take care of yourself . . . but still!

- Aww, Two being worried for Jamie & trying to stop him = ♥♥♥

- & Jamie's going into this fight bare-handed! BB IS HARDCORE, BITCHES.

- FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! ::swoons::

- & HE WINS! ::tackleglomps Jamie:: He won & the other fellow didn't last five minutes! IN YOUR FACES!

- Blocking vents with rocks - Two's a fast thinker, isn't he! & he catches the nice girl as well! But his favourite umbrella was destroyed in the process. Aww.

- Two's practising a bit of hypnosis with his pocket watch! & has no jacket on - oo, pretty!

- Hmm. The guy interrogating the poor custodian of the learning hall looks a little like Mark Strickson, I think. Mmm, pretty.

- Mm. Two looks quite lovely when thinking. His thinky face is sexy! (well, ALL of Two's faces are sexy. Even when he's asleep.)

- Random fashion note two: Does anyone have an idea of what material Zoe's jacket & skirt are made out of? I'd say maybe something in PVC, but it doesn't look quite as shiny as PVC does. Maybe a leather of some sort?

- O dear . . . the Krotons are watching Two. & he's being awesome & smart & all full of win. For once, I think someone needs to get Two to SHUT UP. That is, if we don't want HIM walking into that machine next! ::worries::

- Aww, Jamie clinging to Zoe! But TWO! ::flails:: The poor thing looks so scared!

- ARGH, HAVING FLASHBACKS TO The Omen JESUS CHRIST.

- EEEK! THEY JUST KILLED ANOTHER POOR PERSON! Right in front of everyone!

- Also, Vana's got HUGE Brigitte-esque eyelashes as well.

- Aww, I love how Jamie's all, 'Watch him, Zoe. You know what he's like.' ::grins::

- O yes, Doctor. Leave the perfect little brainchild in a room full of computers & knowledge. ::looks a bit sad::

- But as it is, Zoe seems to like playing with the computers!

- Zoe's face is kind of creeping me out - she looks like someone drugged her.

- AWW, ZOE'S LITTLE SMUG FACE! ::GIGGLES::

'Yes, well, Zoe is something of a genius . . . of course it can be very irritating at times.'

& SHE STILL LOOKS ALL CUTE & SMUG. AWWWWWWW. ::hugs Zoe::

- 'Great jumping gobstoppers, what's that?'

&TWO;

- Zoe's been picked by the Krotons . . . & Two's yelling at her! Two, don't be mean to the poor girl! But aww, how cute are they when he;s all fussy with her & she has to help him!

- 'Well of course it can - the Doctor's almost as smart as I am.'

LOLZ. O, Zoe. Zoe, Zoe, Zoe.

- ::dies:: TWO'S FACE WHEN HE ACES THE TEST. Due to a vid I quite adore, I can NEVER, EVER look at his face at that moment without thinking rather . . . cheeky thoughts. He looks like he has something naughty on his mind. ::grins::

- O GOD JAMIE'S LITTLE FACE! ::cries:: He looks HEARTBROKEN. Totally shattered right then. ::hugs him gently::

- O my word . . . Two & Zoe look like they're in an awful lot of pain when they're in the machine - or spaceship, rather.

- TWO, DON'T EAT ALIEN PRIMORDIAL SOUPS! ::slaps::

- HA! Jamie's not going to be so easily beaten by some stupid machine! He's going in there & he's going to get Two & Zoe back!

- & Two's pockets have helped them out! Two's pockets FTW.

- WHOO, they're out! But . . . but Jamie doesn't know that! O, Jamie, PLEASE don't go in, please!

- YOU STUPID MACHINES, LET GO OF JAMIE! ::kicks at the Krotons:: & he's a PERSON, not an IT!

- . . . primitive? BITE ME. Jamie > the Krotons. & that's not just because I love him - it's a fact.

- Jamie, Jamie, FIGHT IT! You can do it! ::clings::

- Stop hurting him! ::hits the Krotons with a baseball bat::

- O, o, Jamie, OF COURSE they won't leave without you - they've only gone to conduct tests! Please, don't think Two would ever leave you behind! You know he wouldn't.

- O, side note: Jamie looks crazy pretty with his hair all ruffled up like that!

- FUCK YOU! JAMIE'S GOT MORE VALUE THAN YOU STUPID LITTLE TOY ROBOTS!

(& I heart his little pout when they say that he has no value. It's rather cute!)

- O, no value, huh? Look at how much information Jamie's pulling out of you silly bits of tin & crystal! You underestimate Jamie McCrimmon quite severely. ::glares::

- ::grins:: Jamie's got a gun now - or at least, a very fancy sort of weapon.

- O, TWO & ZOE, YOU DIDN'T LEAVE! ::collapses happily:: O, Jamie, you must see that!

- Random fashion note two: Zoe's got a cute little headband on! I love it!

- EEEK, THE FIRST 'MY GIDDY AUNT' TWO EVER SAID! ::SQUEES::

- HA! JAMIE'S GOT A GUN, BITCHES!

- & while he may not have killed a Kroton, he confused the one after Two & Zoe! No value, eh?

- O MY GIDDY AUNT! IT DESTROYED THE TARDIS?!

- O! O! The TARDIS - she's alright! ::hugs her::

- & Jamie's escaped! ::exhales slowly::

- TWO'S BEEN CAUGHT IN THE CAVE-IN! ::screams rather loudly::

- O, o, please be alright, Two, please . . . o, he's alright! ::claps:: But the place appears to still be caving in!

- (Zoe's mending a fellow's possibly fractured leg)

'Haven't you finished yet, Zoe?'

'No I haven't! Hey, can I borrow your braces?'

'No! Here, I'd much rather you used this.' (offers her his handkerchief)

LOLZ, I LOVELOVELOVE TWO'S REACTION TO ZOE'S REQUEST FOR HIS BRACES! He'd rather she didn't start undressing him right in front of people they hardly know yet - he'd rather she save it for the TARDIS! ::gigglesnorts::

- Hmm . . . a full-frontal view of a Kroton is rather funny. ::giggles:: They look best from the waist up, I thihnk.

- Ah, Jamie's proving he's just as fast on his feet as Two - he knows how to use the mica to open the door!

- Two, you did NOT just say Jamie's getting fat! ::pinches him::

- ::wibble:: Two holding onto Zoe after more dispersal . . . o. So sweet. ♥

- Mmm. Two can be a cocky bitch at times & I LOVE it. Oddly sexy on him!

- ::giggle:: I'm going to be a child & say oo, another shot of Zoe's lovely backside! & Two tapping it with his bottle! ::giggles::

- O, Jamie's ready to KILL someone now. But he's not leaving - he's loyal to his almost-little sister & most of all, to his Doctor. When it comes to them, he'll never run away & leave them behind. Ever.

- Ooo, Sneaky!Zoe. ::grins::

- OMG HOW CUTE ARE TWO & ZOE WHEN THEY'RE PLAYING FOR TIME, SERIOUSLY? ::giggles madly::

- Ugh . . . the Krotons are dissolving . . . as is their machine . . . it's like watching foam melt.

- I like Two's little 'I don't like goodbyes' moment. ♥

- ::waves goodbye to the TARDIS::

--------

I must say, that after such a high-octane serial like The Invasion, The Krotons was almost a holiday! This too was one of the first serials I watched when [livejournal.com profile] nentari gave them to me, as it came right after my second favourite serial of Two's era. & I do like it - it feels a bit more low-key & almost calmer than the last few serials I've recapped. So it is in a way like a holiday.

& Zoe's outfit is totally awesome in it! I'd love to wear that skirt! (but I'd have tights on, of course!)

Now we're coming to a serial that I acquired especially for the rewatch-athon back when I was setting it all up - & couldn't believe I'd found it when I did! I've had it for a while now & this is the first time I've seen it! So my recap may be rather scattered, since I'll have so much to take in & to see & enjoy for the first time, but I'll try & be coherent still. But [livejournal.com profile] nentari's told me many lovely things about this story, so I'm really looking forward to seeing it & recapping it! I apologise for my scatterbrained ramblings in advance, folks!

The Seeds of Death

- Random fashion note: I LOVE Miss Kelly's hair!

& her first name is Gia - what a pretty name!

- I might be a bit biased already, because I've heard really good things about Miss Kelly before, but I like her already! Far more than I liked Miss Garrett in The Ice Warriors, even before she proved to be a mindless twit. & she seems a lot warmer & friendlier than Miss Garrett did as well - which is a great plus, of course!

- O dear - trouble's already begun & the Doctor hasn't even arrived yet! ::worries::

- Uh-oh. I know that voice. Rather well, too.

- I love how this is being shot so far - you're not SEEING what everyone's looking at or talking to, but it still remains quite creepy, or at the very least, unsettling!

- O, we know that sound - hello Team TARDIS version 2.3! & HELLO JAMIE! ::waves::

- Stuck in space? Well, they're no webbing around, so it isn't the yeti back for revenge . . .

- A SPACE MUSEUM? OMFG AWESOME!

- Random fashion note two: Zoe's still in her great outfit from The Krotons!

- Random fashion note three: JAMIE'S SHIRT. IT . . . IT HAS LACES! ::FLAILS:: GUH. HE LOOKS MIGHTY FINE IN THAT SHIRT, SERIOUSLY.

- Okay, now we're seeing glimpses of the Ice Warriors now. Eeep.

- Random fashion note four: JAMIE'S GOT LACES ON HIS SLEEVES! ::squeaks:: & DAMN, it really . . . fits him, I must say. ::stares::

- Hee, Two geeking out over space rockets! So adorable!

- Now you have to keep in mind that I've never SEEN an Ice Warrior up close - those things are TERRIFYING indeed!

- O, Jamie & Zoe wanting to help is positively adorable. & Two being totally willing is even more wonderful. ::draws hearts::

- I kind of love Miss Kelly - she, unlike Miss Garrett, can think OUTSIDE her box! & it's leading to something quite useful, isn't it?

- The Ice Warriors are just hideous - like overgrown reptiles that learnt to walk like humans.

- O! Look at Two, Jamie & Zoe go! & please Miss Kelly - don't doubt Jamie's abilities. He's far more experienced than most people might think.

- & yes, I heart Miss Kelly. She's pretty awesome so far!

- Fashion note number five: Zoe appears to have changed her outfit between serials. WITH LACES ON!

- Zoe's certainly in her element here, I think! ::beams::

- I'd also like to note that there are some lovely optical effects during the preparation of the rocket for take-off. Visually, they're quite interesting!

- LOLZ JAMIE'S TOTALLY FLIPPING OUT. & HE WON'T EVEN ADMIT TO IT. ::giggles:: I.L.Y. Jamie. Your panic is so adorable.

- OMG THEIR FACES. ::giggles:: Jamie's looks to be a cross between 'I DON'T LIKE THIS GET ME OFF THIS THING' & 'I suddenly don't feel very well . . .' Aww, bb. ::pets::

- WHOA, ZOE'S TOTALLY AWESOME AT PILOTING A ROCKET. & Jamie was all hands & flaily adorable panic, awwww.

- OKAY, MISS KELLY IS FUCKING AWESOME, NOT DEBATABLE IN THE SLIGHTEST WAY. I LOVE HER.

- Also, in profile, is it just me or does Miss Kelly look a bit like Polly? I think she does a bit, but only in profile.

- Random fashion note number six: I LOVE Zoe's outfit! It's so pretty on her!

- Hmm. Apparently, Miss Kelly was the only one with brains in her work party - she's still alive!

- ::giggles:: Rather amusing landing, I must say.

- Random fashion note seven: Pat appears to be growing sideburns in this serial - rather wild ones, I think.

- Random fashion note eight: Jamie shows a nice amount of skin in-between his collar laces. Yum!

- 'Your leader will be angry if you kill me - I'm a genius!'

TWO JUST CHANNELLED RODNEY McKAY RIGHT THERE, PEOPLE. I LOVE IT.

- UNF, JAMIE, YOUR LACES. ::licks::

- HA! Miss Kelly escaped! KICKASS!

- . . . . I just got distracted by a fair bit of Patrick Troughton neck!porn. ::swoon:: I likey!

- I swear, I AM paying attention to the story - I LOVE it so far - but I keep getting distracted by all the skin Jamie's laces are flashing!

- However, in spite of that, I continue to adore Miss Kelly. SHE IS WIN.

- Jamie is definitely one of the few sorts that I can think of that would crawl through maintenance tunnels IN A KILT, bare knees & all. Having had to crawl through a tunnel or two myself in trousers, I've got to admire that about him. ::hugs Jamie::

- This serial's REALLY got some very tense spots in it - I can't even recap, I'm getting so tense!

- FOAM!! FOAM!SERIAL TIMES NOW!

- O no . . . one of the Ice Warriors made it down to Earth - & it's killing everyone in range already!

- ::panics:: O, Two . . . please, please be alright!

- Zoe's going to go through the tunnels! & Miss Kelly is backing her up on it! GO ZOE GO! ::waves pompoms::

- WHOA, THAT IS A LOT OF FOAM, MAN. FOAAAAAAAAAAMY!

- I love Zoe's level-headedness - she's keeping calm & trying to keep her guide calm as well. Good on you, miss Zoe!

- Zoe's photographic memory FTW!

- OMFG JAMIE'S EPIC FACES!! ::gigglesnorts:: EPIC AS ALL HELL & I LOVE EACH ONE.

- Zoe Heriot - intergalactic supergirl, at your service.

- I hadn't noted this before, but the opening titles for this serial are much different than the usual opening titles of a serial!

- SHIT! Two, you picked the WORST time to wake up!

- LET GO OF MY JAMIE YOU GIANT REPTILES!

O, yay, the heating kicked in! ::twirl:: & everyone's alright, more or less. ♥

- Random fashion note nine: JAMIE, I WANT TO UNDO YOUR LACES. ::licks::

- Random fashion note ten: I really do love Jamie's whole look in this serial - the top goes well with his kilt & it looks good from pretty much any angle you can see the whole thing. But I just keep getting distracted by his laced bits. ::laughs::

- Gia Kelly = made of awesome!

- From the side, Pat's sideburns are making him look like Victoria Waterfield's father. & I'm not sure if it's a good look or not just yet.

- O MY WORD, TWO'S GOING TO DROWN IN THAT FOAM!

- NOW HE'S COVERED IN IT! O, he'll die if he doesn't get inside!

- JESUS CHRIST ON A RITZ CRACKER, I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MUCH FOAM IN A SINGLE SERIAL, EVER. OR POSSIBLY IN MY LIFE. O MY GOODNESS!

- O, Jamie, your bravery . . . o, it's lovely, but it makes me worry terribly for you! ::bites nails::

- ::dies:: JAMIE'S WIPING THE FOAM OFF OF TWO. HE IS WIPING THE FOAM OFF OF THE DOCTOR. HOW MUCH MORE DOMESTIC CAN YOU GET?

- ::giggles:: One Ice Warrior appears to have sparkly gems glued onto his helmet. It's totally ridiculous & I love it. SPARKLES!

(does this mean the Ice Warriors have their own commitment to sparkle motion?)

- I . . . I trust Two of course, but I'm worried for him - he let the Ice Warriors destroy his weapons, so easily without even trying to put up a fight!

- Jamie's beginning to display his absolute worry & concern for Two now. ::bites lip::

- & now he wants to T-Mat himself back to the moon to help Two?! Jamie, you're mad! In love, Brave, tough, but very mad!

- LOOKIT TWO BEING ALL BADASS & IN YOUR FACE WITH THE ICE WARRIORS! FUCK YEAH!

- JAMIE! You're possibly madder than your own Doctor & I ENVY you that. Very much envy you that. ♥♥

- & together, they beat the Ice Warriors! IN. THEIR. FACES.

- & aww, a bit of bickerbickerbicker in the end, just before they dematerialise. LOVE.

--------

Now THAT was an exciting serial, I must say! It was a six-parter & never once did it feel like it was dragging or getting repetitive or dull - lots of action & awesome & oooo, I just loved it! SO GOOD. & Gia Kelly is TOTALLY an unofficial girl of Who - she's another character that would have been absolutely splendid in the TARDIS, I think. Too bad she couldn't have at least SEEN it!

& OMG JAMIE. ::flails:: He was crazy brave & well - as wonderful as ever, pretty much! & he saved Two at the very end & helped him stop the Ice Warriors, all while wearing one fab outfit! & walking through foam. ::nods::

Since I'm so close to - well, certain things . . . watching just Two & Jamie working together like that . . . well, it felt very much like old times, in ways.

& now, our final serial for the week, which combines the old favourite mixup of listening to the audio of, then watching the serial of The Space Pirates.

The Space Pirates - audio & serial

- This is another Robert Holmes story & if I remember right, the serial portion of it is the earliest work of his on Doctor Who that I'd ever seen before.

- Hmm. Criminals prowling around in space attacking cargo ships . . . sounds a bit like a space Western to me! ::beams::

- 'Deep space sickness' . . . so there is such a form of space dementia, but it takes a more physical attack. Hmmm.

- O, hello Doctor & all! Though I don't think you've all picked the best section of the beacon to land in . . .

- Aww, ever the pragmatist, our Jamie. ::blows kiss::

- OI, WHAT'S WITH THE SHOOTING?! SHOOT TO KILL - HOW ABOUT ASKING A QUESTION, THEN GETTING ALL TRIGGER HAPPY, CHRIST!

- O, & while you're chasing innocent darlings about, your pirates are right on your beacon!

- O goodness! Now the ones chasing Two, Jamie & Zoe have been shot by the space pirates! Um . . . a good thing? Well, I mean, at least they can't come after Two & his friends now! But they don't know that & that fact still has them trapped!

- Uh-oh, I think I'm beginning to connect how the opening of the second serial happened now . . .

- The door's been welded shut? Then - then when the charges go off, the TARDIS is going to end up floating off before Two, Jamie & Zoe can get to it!

- Moving into the only surviving serial for the second story . . . the beacon's just separated & Two, Jamie & Zoe are flying around their bit of the beacon!

- However . . . we do get one of the best moments of collective unconsciousness to ever be seen in Two's era! Now that just looks quite inappropriate. ::gigglesnorts::

(random fashion note - I ALWAYS thought Zoe was in a dress in this serial. But after seeing all of episode two? THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THAT SHE'S GOT A DRESS ON. HELL NO.)

- HAHA, SPACE MINER! ::laughs:: I don't know . . . it's just very funny to me! & it is another touch of space Western-ness. & he even sounds like someone in a Western!

- O, hello Two, you're waking up! & Jamie's the FIRST ONE he tries to wake up! AWW!

- . . . okay, Zoe's just being inappropriate here. ::sticks tongue out:: I'm looking at the three of them & I'm like, 'Damn. Good three-way, apparently!'

- Yes, Milo Clancy is very space Western-esque - I think he would have fit in well in an episode of Firefly.

- LOLZ, ZOE APPEARS TO BE GROPING TWO. & Jamie's got his hand on Two's thigh - I'm sorry, my mind is very wrong when I watch this serial. ::giggle::

- Random fashion note two: I adore Zoe's hot pants & jacket! & Pat's sideburns don't seem to be as wild as they were in The Seeds of Death, happily!

- MIND PROBE WHAT? NOOOO, NOT THE MIND PROBE!

- 'What's he up to now?'

'I don't know. Ask him'

'Oh, that's no good. He's got his 'mysterious' face on.'

- O, fucksocks. If they can't get back to the TARDIS, they'll just . . . suffocate from the lack of air in their little piece of the beacon.

Or will they freeze to death first?

'You're afraid we're going to run out of air. But we won't. We'll freeze to death first.'

- 'Oh, Doctor, could we have some more oxygen?'

::giggle::

- ::giggles again:: Two's got a screwdriver! But I don't know if it's sonic . . .

- LOLZ, THEY'RE SHARING SEXUAL AIR SUPPLY OXYGEN. Ordinarily, it would be the 'hitting of the space bong' moment, but um, things have changed now, you see.

- Zoe has DAMN good arms. Yes, this bears repeating.

- & now not only are they running out of air, but they're just floating much further out into space now!

- TWO'S HEAD IS IN JAMIE'S LAP RIGHT NOW. & they're all still sharing oxygen. & no, it will not stop being funny, especially now.

- JAMIE! ::SCREAMS:: HE'S BEEN SHOT!

- Moving back into audio for the third part, just after Milo Clancy just shot Jamie . . . ::growls::

- O, please, please, don't let Jamie be hurt!

. . . just stunned? O, o, please let it be so!

- Jamie! ::clings:: He's waking up now, thankfully!

- 'It's very rude to point, you know, especially with a gun.'

- 'Anything's possible in the TARDIS. Especially with him at the controls!'

O, Jamie. You are better, sweetheart!

- YAY, THEY'RE OUT! I don't know about Milo Clancy yet, but he saved their lives, at least.

- His ship, also, apparently seems to be called the Liz, or something that sounds like that! ::laughs::

- WOW. Milo Clancy's got quite the tricked-out sneaky weapons system! ::grins::

- Also, he's grasped the concept of Two & his companions travelling in space AND time very fast! Usually it takes people until the end of a serial to even believe such a thing!

- HEY! Don't you regulate miss Zoe Heriot to the kitchen, mister! She'd be able to rewire your ship AND blow up those military ships on your tail in under a minute! ::glares:: Make a pot of tea. HUMPH!

- ::squeezes Jamie's hand:: I know, love, I know. It's okay, you'll be fine. Deep breaths & concentrate on other things. ♥♥

- It's a little hard to reserve all my judgement on Milo until the end of the serial - with the exception of the above, I like him so far! But I know, first impressions can be deceiving & all.

- HAHA, ZOE'S MATHEMATICAL SKILLS WORKED OUT WHERE THE BITS OF THE BEACON ARE HEADED! ::tacklehugs her:: This girl is awesome. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME.

- ::giggles:: Two sounds a touch of the flirt when congratulating miss Zoe on her work!

- O, I do hope Milo Clancy isn't one of the pirates - he was so kind & he saved their lives! ::chews lip worriedly::

- Earlier this week, [livejournal.com profile] nentari & I were talking & I mentioned that I'm more of a space Western kind of girl & she asked if I was just thinking of Firefly or this serial as well. I said I thought of both & Cowboy Bebop, & now, as I'm listening to it, I'd say that this serial definitely falls into the category of being a space Western.

- O no! They've been found! RUN, RUN!

- DISAPPEARING GROUND WTF?!

- O, well, they landed on a FLOOR at least, but it sounds like it was a painful landing!

- Jamie, please don't have hurt yourself when you landed!

- Two's awfully sure of himself about there being a second door in the prison cell. But he has a very logical point! There is another door there, he just needs to find it.

- Jamie, you've got to be a bit of an optimist! ::chides::

- & HE FOUND IT! ::high-fives::

- OMG. TUNING FORK. TUNING FORK?

- JAMIE! ::CLAPS HIS HANDS:: YOU OPENED THE DOOR! ::kisskiss::

- & Milo's come to find them! & well . . . he says he's not with the pirates . . . & he shot one! I . . . I believe in him; that he's doing good.

- Ooo, Jamie's packing heat! He seems to do that a lot, doesn't he? ::smiles::

- O! HE'S TAKING SHOTS AT THEM! Aim true, Jamie, aim true & straight!

Ah, I heart Jamie's total badassery. ♥♥♥♥

- . . . Madeline is in league with the pirates? Okay, yes, I wasn't fully sure on her, but I didn't exactly suspect her either!

- Zoe doesn't know how candles work? Zoe, I DID think you knew such things!

- WTF WHO PUT AN OLD MAN IN THE STUDY?!

- Despite being in league with pirates, Madeline seems to have retained her sense of morals & humanity, if not a stronger temperance of her greed.

- . . . the old man is Madeline's father? . . . what did she do to him? Maybe she hasn't retained her morals & her humanity as much as I thought she did.

- But nevertheless . . . Madeline wants to fight back. I feel rather confused about her now . . .

- Madeline didn't know her father was alive? O my goodness . . . o, poor Madeline.

- 'Jamie, sometimes I don't think you appreciate all I do for you.'

AWW. He does, Two, I promise!

- The Second Doctor, ladies & gentlemen - he can whip up a plan with just a bit of candle wax & a bag of marbles. ::beams::

- O NO. NO. Two, you have to be okay, you just HAVE to be!

- JAMIE! ::swoons:: You never run out of bravery, do you?

- Madeline just narrowly managed to pwn space pirates. Not bad!

- FTW! Space pirates have been blown up!

- O, goodness, the TARDIS! I'd forgot all about it myself!

- But Milo'll help them get it back - & it'll be fab. ::smiles::

--------

The first time I watched the only surviving serial of this, I felt that it dragged, considerably. & I'd read before that it wasn't one of the most highly regarded serials of Two's era, despite it being his next to last one. But this time, I wanted to keep an open mind about this & since I did, I found that I enjoyed this story much more than I'd expected! I suppose it was once I connected all the pieces that I could fully enjoy it. My only whine is that I felt that the end serial did drag a bit, to the point where I was losing a bit of interest. But I admit, I was doing something else at the time & so I wasn't really as focused as I should have been, perhaps. But there were bits of it that I liked. I just felt like it was running over-long for me.

& the ending . . . the ending was good. It ended with laughter, & Jamie's sweet witticisms. Which makes what's to come even more saddening. But it was good that this ended well - if it had ended sadly, it would have been worse in the end. So while this ending, as nice as it was, was bittersweet for me, I don't think I'd like to have it any other way.

& that was the last three major serials of this part of the great & mighty Troughton rewatch-athon! I'll be back next week with The War Games.

Wish me luck?

& I'll TRY to remember to post that cap in the comments when the post goes up
YAY! Looking forward to it, then!

hee, we're already having fab discussions & it's only Thursday!
That's the power of this serial. :D

It's been SO long since the first & only time I watched the full episode of Journey's End, but if I remember right, he didn't even BOTHER trying to find another way. He just said he had to mindwipe her & that was it. Then . . . he did it. Am I remembering right?
I've never rewatched it again either (but I will soon, after a few rumours I've heard of one of the upcoming serials having a connection to that episode) but the feeling I got was that he was going through all possible alternatives he could find, and that he even asked Donna what options she could think of, since he knew she could see things differently and usually found options he was overlooking thanks to that, and she couldn't see any other alternative either.

::gives Doctor Petal a batch of chocolate chip cookies with a big pink bow wrapped around them::
Aww, look at his cute little evil face, beaming!

That I can - & yes I do. ;)
Yes, I think that one is pretty straightforward. The same goes for Emo, I think - I know that Clyde Pollitt was asked to reappear in The Three Doctors because Barry Letts wanted one of the War Games Time Lords in there to add some continuity.

I think that if they could have, they would have done the same with the Rani - only since she's a scientist, she would have been given more access to perform experiments & create weaponry to destroy the Daleks with, while the Doctor & Master distracted them by taking on whole armies.
I think they would have had a little more trouble with the Rani - her goal in life is to do her own experiments and research, instead of the Time Lords'. Otherwise, she would have happily have stayed in Gallifrey. Plus there is the fact that, while the Doctor and the Master had both left their planet voluntarity, the Rani was expelled because of her experiments (according to Wikipedia, "she was exiled from Gallifrey after some of her lab mice, as a result of an experiment, grew to enormous size and ate the President's pet cat and according to the Master "took a chunk out of him too".") and I don't think the Time Lords would have wanted to see her back.

(I'm sorry if I seem scattered; I'm watching CoE & it's pretty early here for me!)
Don't worry, your arguments seem well-contructed to me.

I don't even know HOW you can do it, but I quite admire you for it! You're of a stronger heart than I am. ::nods::
Actually, I have no idea either. *shrugs* I guess if I can survive Three's death scene (which makes me cry every single time) I can survive anything.

That could be possible, since neither of us really remember it very well. (& I assume the serial you mean will be Ten's last one? Which I've heard . . . things about & kind of WANT to see now?)

Aww, look at his cute little evil face, beaming!

::beams too:: I made a mad scientist happy! AWW!

That makes sense. ::nods:: & I get to laugh at him next week! FUN TIMES.

O my! ::giggles:: Okay, the Rani's even more awesome for that, I think. & aww, her mice tried to eat the Master too? HAHA! But I still think that if they could have found her, they would have tried to persuade her to help them anyway - most likely promising to more or less pardon her for her past, erm, incidents. The Time Lords can be very persuasive creeps, after all. & when you're desperate to bring the Master back to fight the Daleks, then yes, you'd be desperate enough to ask the Rani for help, I think.

Actually, I have no idea either. *shrugs* I guess if I can survive Three's death scene (which makes me cry every single time) I can survive anything.

I still say it's because you're of stronger heart than me. :D & I've only seen Three regenerate & know his last words to Sarah Jane - I'll probably be very upset when I watch his ending as well. I ♥ Three, after all.

No, not the Master - the President. :D The Master was just a witness.

Hm, yes, you've got a point there.

It's heartbreaking, because he got radiation poisoning after being forced to confront his own fears, and then got lost in the Time Vortex, spending who knows how long roaming in there before the TARDIS took control of the situation and helped bring him home (and the fact that he calls UNIT "home" gets to me like nobody's business).

(& ZOMG, YOUR ICON! ::squees:: I LOVE IT! Aww, little cartoon!Eleven - SO CUTE!)
Isn't he adorable? *tickles him* Sadly, I couldn't add Eleven to my animated icon of all the Doctors, because it became too big for LJ's standards.

::cries again:: I remember reading in The Eight Doctors, that when Eight & Three met (ah, bliss in silks & velvets!) Eight says to Three that he'll die a noble death.

Okay, the trailer is narrated by Timothy Dalton (whom I've seen pictures of dressed as a Time Lord - if he really plays one of if this was to trick the fans is open to debate), and it features Lucy Saxon, a blond-haired Simm!Master, Wilf and DONNA! They don't do anything in the trailer - just look at the camera - though Simm!Master says something like "I'm the Master". I can't really hear his exact words, though, because this was recorded from a cellphone camera from when the trailer was shown at ComicCon, and the audience starts squeeing loudly when he shows up.
And if you don't mind spoilers, I can also tell you about another casting spoiler. I've seen images of the recording that feature two other people, which at first made me roll my eyes, but which, if the description of what happened during the recording are correct, I can accept. Sort of.

Of course, it now makes me wonder. I never thought Time Lords would have pets, since they don't look like the sort to be attached.

It is noble - he confronts his own fear, even though it's something that fills him with such dread that I never thought possible in such a brave and heroic regeneration as Three is, and he does it with the knowledge that it might kill him - and indeed it does in the end. It's as noble and heroic a death as you could ever expect for someone like Three, and it breaks your heart in tiny little pieces.

I was absent yesterday and could not reply to your e-mails straight away because I went clothes-hunting. A store dedicated to hippy-styled fashion made entirely of natural products has a 70% off sale right now, so I had to explore. I found three tops and a pair of high-heeled black sandals with flower-patterned silk decorating the heels, all of which ended up costing less than the sandals' original price.

. . . What the hell. TELL ME! ::beams:: But let me ask - is it a certain bleach-blonde London lass, or the one that likes to be all 'Hello sweetie' when she sees the Doctor?

Of course, it now makes me wonder. I never thought Time Lords would have pets, since they don't look like the sort to be attached.

Hmm, good point - Time Lords seem to lack any kind of 'loving' feeling, as I see it - but that's because I dislike them overall, save for the select few who are awesome & should just be running Gallifrey themselves - but maybe this was a SPECIAL kitty? Like . . . I don't know - a fob-watched Rassilon in kitty form? ::giggly:: That makes a LITTLE sense, you HAVE to admit. :P

It is noble - he confronts his own fear, even though it's something that fills him with such dread that I never thought possible in such a brave and heroic regeneration as Three is, and he does it with the knowledge that it might kill him - and indeed it does in the end. It's as noble and heroic a death as you could ever expect for someone like Three, and it breaks your heart in tiny little pieces.

. . . he was a very brave Doctor. & to borrow from his next incarnation, perhaps the noblest Doctor of them all.

The bleach-blonde one. I know, I know, I was rolling my eyes when I first read about it, but later reports and pictures have shown me that this will be pre-S1 Rose, who obviously won't recognize the Doctor. If the reports I've read are correct, Ten will be dying when he sees her; she and Jackie will pass by him, ask if he's all right, and keep on walking after he assures them he's fine.

Okay, got that out of the way there . . . well, pre-series one!Rose I guess I could be okay with, but I was really hoping that she wouldn't be coming back at all - & I REALLY don't want her in Eleven's series at all. But since Donna & Rose will be in Ten's final episode, what about Martha or Jack? They were ALSO companions & if they don't get mentioned & it's just Rose, I'm going to be very annoyed.

I'd love to hear it. :P And of course you would.

O, I promise you will! The barbarian & I are planning a clothes outing soon (so I'm keeping an eye on her this week) & when we go out, I shall regale you with my best 'BUT YOU CAAAAAAN'T!' & I KNOW I'd win. :P

This reminds me of a rather silly thing I came up with a friend once - Whokitties! At the time, I was more new series, so we had Tenkitty, Rosekitty, Marthakitty, Masterkitty & so on. ::giggles:: & there was even a Torchwood set! I spent a LOT of time dipping Iantokitty in water. & sometimes making Ninekitty into a hat. :P I was meeean to Iantokitty! But now, we'll have old!school!Whokitties! Twokitty & Jamiekitty!

Well, I doubt Moffatt will make her return, unless he gets pressure from higher powers. Let's just hope that this will finally make RTD take things out of his system and finally leave us be with some goddamn closure. And hopefully he'll take Billie with him now that he's moved to do other projects alas, in the same state as you, since he's moving to American television.

Nope - I just clicked on the keyboard to the right of the one I intended to press, and since I tend to type without looking I ended up automatically going to the right with the next ones as well.
