Summer rewatch-athons are love. & for my friends in the States, this month's DWM has a whole feature on the Second Doctor, as well as covering a bit of the final Big Finish stories for Charley Pollard. (I might try scanning/snapping the feature on Two for you all - it was a great read & of course, very well-timed for me! Next month, they'll be covering Three's era. ♥)

So on we go with the great & mighty Troughton rewatch-athon! This turn, it'll be The Macra Terror, The Faceless Ones, both of which are the final serials for Ben & Polly as Two's companions, & The Evil of the Daleks. which will introduce the lovely miss Victoria Waterfield as the next travelling companion for Two & Jamie.

Also, I'll be adding a slightly new feature to my recap of The Evil of the Daleks & for a few other serials in future recaps. Since

nentari was a very kind soul & shared with me the audios of several serials, The Evil of the Daleks being one of them, I'll be watching the recons of some serials, then listening to the audio versions of them, which I'll mention my impressions of - kind of like recapping a Big Finish audio in some ways!

(of course, for some, I only have the audio versions for, but I'll mention that when I get to them!)

Off we go!

( The Faceless Ones )

& my thoughts on listening to the original audio of The Evil of the Daleks.

& that's our recaps for the week! Next week I'll be recapping Tomb of the Cybermen, Victoria's own Companion Chronicle The Great Space Elevator & The Abominable Snowman (the audio version, supplemented by my Lost in Time DVDs in some places).

Previous recaps
The Dalek Invasion of Earth
The Time Meddler
The War Machines

I think we've been in here a bit too long. I feel pleased

WHEW! Quite a batch of recapping, eh? Next up will be The Macra Terror, The Faceless Ones, which, sadly, will be Ben & Polly's final serial with Two & Jamie, then The Evil of the Daleks, where we shall meet the next person to join Jamie & Two on their travels - the lovely miss Victoria Waterfield!

Previous recaps
The Dalek Invasion of Earth
The Time Meddler

I think we've been in here a bit too long. I feel chipper

& now, here we go, off on the second three recaps of the great & mighty Troughton rewatch-athon!

( The Smugglers )

( The Tenth Planet )

( The Power of the Daleks )

Whew! This was the official beginning of the great & mighty Troughton rewatch-athon & alas, the ending point of the Hartnell era for now. (but I've a load of Hartnell-era serials to watch!) The next three serials will be The Highlanders (!!!), The Underwater Menace & The Moonbase, the last two I may supplement with my Lost in Time DVD collection.

Previous recaps
The Dalek Invasion of Earth
The Time Meddler
The War Machines

I think we've been in here a bit too long. I feel amused
listening to lulzy horror movies that are v. addicting

Whoa! Okay, making my way through the first leg of the great & mighty Troughton rewatch-athon, which, amusingly, starts with five William Hartnell serials.

I hadn't planned on including The Dalek Invasion of Earth originally, as I'd wanted to see The Aztecs first, so I could get to know Susan a bit better before seeing her final serial, but I figured, what the hell? I was going to start with a bit of the Hartnell-era first anyway, so I tossed it in. (but I may get to see The Aztecs soon!)

So here we are with recaps of the first three serials!

( The Dalek Invasion of Earth )

( The Time Meddler )

( The War Machines )

Next three serials will be the recon of The Smugglers, The Tenth Planet (One ----> Two & then the great & mighty Troughton rewatch-athon really begins!) & The Power of the Daleks.

I think we've been in here a bit too long. I feel tearful & hopeful at once
