The Green Death
UNIT is called in after a miner from the Welsh village of Llanfairfach is found dead, his skin glowing bright green. Jo joins forces with a local environmental group, led by Professor Clifford Jones, while the Doctor investigates the nearby plant of a company called Global Chemicals.
They discover that the mine workings are full of giant maggots and green slime - both lethal to touch - that have been produced by chemical waste pumped from the Global plant.
Stevens, the director of Global, has been taken over by the BOSS - Bimorphic Organisational Systems Supervisor - a computer with a will of its own.
The BOSS plans to seize power by linking itself to every other major computer in the world, but the Doctor uses a blue crystal - a souvenir from a brief visit to the planet Metebelis 3 - to break its hold over Stevens, who then programs it to self-destruct.
The maggots, on the point of pupating into giant insects, are destroyed with a type of fungus. Jo falls in love with Professor Jones and decides to leave UNIT in order to accompany him on an expedition up the Amazon - and to marry him. The Doctor gives her the blue crystal as an early wedding present.
BRIGADIER, OH HOW I'VE MISSED YOUR SEXY STACHE. ♥ Brig, please say you're going with her. OH THANK GOD, I don't think I could handle being teased with a bit of Brig only to have him yanked away from me.
"I'm quite spry for my age, actually." I'd say so. Seeing as he's somewhere between 400 and a thousand years old.
BURT, YOU IDIOT, NEVER TOUCH THE GREEN GLOWING OOZE. We need to get the Rotmeister up in here.
Disgusting. I can't stand maggots. D:
OF COURSE there's a cave in. That's the only logical way to end this episode. And a giant maggot about to attack.
IT MEANS YOU BEST KEEP MOVING. CLIMB AND TALK IF YOU HAVE TO, WOMAN.
WHY DOES JO KEEP GETTING THESE GOOD LOOKING MEN? I need to be a companion just because I'd be pretty much guaranteed some action.
"We'll see no more of those creepy crawlies, you mark my words." That was the worst thing you could possibly say, Brig. They're going to be all over the country now, aren't they?
Noooo don't convert Elgin. D: I liked him.
<333333 old milk man!Doctor.
<333333333333333333 old lady!Doctor. "I like your handbag."
NOOOOO HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT A 900 YEAR OLD ALIEN CAN RUN FASTER THAN YATES, WHO IS VERY NICELY IN SHAPE???
My guess: Serendipity is one of his many lady friends. He seems the type.
YATES, PUT THAT GUN DOWN, DAMN IT.
Yates, all chained up. Yes please.
HOLY SHIT, THAT GIANT DRAGONFLY IS THE CREEPIEST THING EVER. And dragonflies are my mom's favorite. D: I'll never think of them the same way again.
WE FINALLY GET RID OF JO? HOORAY! And I kind of like Jo/Cliff. Except that he kind of just threw out the marriage thing after like one day. Aw, but they're cute.
Aw, poor Doctor. He won't ever get used to them leaving him, will he?
If it wasn't evident by my excessive use of caps, I really fucking loved this one. I need it on DVD, like yesterday. After I get the Mind Robber. I intend on asking for Who-related things for birthdays and Christmases until the day I die.
Up next is The Time Warrior! Not to be confused with The Time Monster which wasn't so long ago.
