Shun the Unfinished Watcher! Shuuuun!
*blatantly stolen from elyssadc*
So I've realized that it's been just a few months shy of a year since I first watched a Who ep. Naturally I've seen New Who, but I've been slacking a bit on getting my classic on--or I'll start an arc and wander off, or rely on wiki to tell me what happens so I can move on to the more fun bits rather than finishing ( Read more... )

One. Well, actually, you’ve seen more One then I have. Hee hee. Movin’ on...
Two. The Invasion dammit! I know others have recommended it already, and I’m biased because it’s the only Two I’ve seen, but still. The Clinging! The level of physical contact between Two and Jamie in that story has to be seen to be believed. Oh, and Zoe saves everyone’s asses in under 30 seconds with her brain.
Three. Seen more than I have. Next.
Four. I’d recommend finishing the Key to Time arc. The Stones of Blood has bitchy, intransigent, bureaucratic balls of light and lots of lesbian subtext. The Pirate Planet has Douglas Adams and the line “By the left frontal lobe of the sky demon!” And the Ribos Operation is... just brilliant. It’s the story that made me fall in love with classic Who.
I also see you haven’t seen any with Leela. I’d suggest the Horror of Fang Rock. It was the first time I squeaked in fear when I saw one of the villains. Also, Leela slaps the screaming, hysterical woman. I clapped.
Five. Wow. *impressed noise*.. Next.
Six. Vengeance on Varos is pretty good, despite the violence. The monster was memorably repulsive and the two comic relief “viewers” were cool.
Seven. Despite not having seen all of him, Seven is my favorite. (Hence the overly cute Icon I've been meaning to use.) Ghost Light is a winner. A complex story you need to pay attention to, Ace in a victorian tuxedo, someone being turned into a monkey. Remembrance of The Daleks is good too, but someone else already mentioned it.

I will get on my Leela-lovin'! I think I'll introduce myself to her first with Face of Evil and then move on to Fang Rock. :)
Wow, at long last someone recs a Six arc! I think you're the first! Well done!
*sigh* Here's hoping I'll come to love Seven properly in time--I don't dislike him, I just don't feel that initial 'womg, ILU, character!' click?
People seem to REALLY like that whole last season of Seven, though (with the notable exception of the uneven crackvan that is Survival)!
Thanks so much for the recs!
