Classic Who Reactions: Third Doctor Part 1
Six serials this time. The Silurians, The Ambassadors of Death, The Mind of Evil, Claws of Axos, Colony in Space, and The Daemons.
The Silurians
Oh look, it's Bessie.
They have a guy named Dr. Quinn?
"Well, this all looks very exciting. May I come too?"
Enough with the POV shots.
"What do you think you're doing?" // "Breaking open a cabinet."
They sound like variations of Kermit the frog.
The sound effects are so obnoxious and grating in this one.
The Ambassadors of Death
They were sending probes to Mars in 1970?
Oh, neat. It's like Space and Time, but into the future so they don't double up.
It's not Ice Warriors again, is it? They were from Mars, right?
Um...what did he just do to the tape? How come he can't do that now?
The Doctor and the Brigadier as good cop and cop. Nice.
And there goes the color. =/
Welcome back, color.
Easy come, easy go.
Well played, Doctor.
"I don't know what came down in Recovery 7, but it certainly wasn't human." // Kind of saw that coming.
I think the Eleventh Doctor just used that eye-piece to examine a Cybermat recently.
"This Doctor fellow must have nine lives." // Or thirteen.
Seems like a very expensive and elaborate way to raise an army. That radioactive material can't be cheap, can it?
They go to a lot of elaborate trouble to kill people. Radioactive rods, launching people into the sun? Just shoot them.
Lots of these "Doctor-and-Liz-build-a-machine" scenes.
The Mind of Evil
Bummer. No color.
A box of evil impulses. What could possibly go wrong?
This one's a little busy, isn't it? It's getting difficult to keep everthing straight.
"Why not destroy it? Just blow it up?" // "'Cause those idiots in authority won't let me." // Since when does the Doctor listen to authority?
The Doctor and the Brigadier with the Chinese delegate. Lots of fun.
And she's meeting the Master. Figured as much.
Yes, the Master installed the machine. I saw that coming.
The dramatic chair turn.
Bwah! Maniacally laughing Doctor! That's just too perfect!
"Well, I wondered if you had any news about Captain Yates." // Benton/Yates shippers?
"Do you think once in your life, you could manage to arrive before the nick of time?"
"He's free to come and go as he pleases while I'm stuck here on earth...with you, Brigadier!"
The Claws of Axos
Well, that looks disgusting.
Oh, look who it is.
"Yes, there are tremendous material advantages, but I doubt if even Axonite could increase the growth of human common sense."
"Axonite distribution must be world wide." // What could possibly go wrong.
Why is the Doctor doing all of this?
That makes sense. It seemed OOC at first. Thought they might've copied him.
"A time loop is a - it's - well, it's a time loop."
Colony in Space
Time Lords. Dun dun dun.
They stopped fading the TARDIS in and out. It just pops in and out of frame. ... I don't like it.
These guys are like the Firefly colonists or something.
Even the timing's near enough. 2472. Firefly was in the 2500's, right?
"What those people need, my dear sir, are new worlds to live in." // "Earth that was could no longer hold our numbers."
They're not showing his face. And his voice sounded like Delgado.
Called it.
Really? A telepathic creature could be surprised that easily?
Waiting for them to find the TARDIS in the Primitives' city.
Jo Grant laying flat and wiggling. ... I'll be in my bunk.
"You'll never understand, will you? I want to see the universe, not rule it." //// "You don't need to own the universe. Just see it."
The Daemons
"Bessie, how dare you go gallivanting around like that?"
An archeological dig? What could possibly go wrong.
The Prince of Evil? Well, that sounds like something the Master is sure to be mixed up in.
Well, doesn't the Brigadier look spiffy?
It's so weird to actually hear them say "BBC" in an episode.
"MY HELICOPTER?!?!"
"I don't get it." // "Probably because I haven't finished, Captain Yates."
What's with the glasses the Master is wearing?
Convenient ladder is convenient.
"Do you know what you're doing?" // "My dear chap, I can't wait to find out."
More Third Doctor whenever I do my next post.
