For a long time....

The only Sylv ep I had was Curse of Fenric. For a long time after that, the only other Sylv ep I had....was this one. Guess which one I watched more often?
It's weird seeing Sylv in Colin's coat, or rather a version of it tailored to his size. Or did they just trim the old one down? I disremember. Anyway, yeah poor Colin.
Mel was deliberately supposed to be the archetypal "running in corridors and screaming" companion.
Likewise, Sylv hadn't yet figured out that he wanted his Doctor to be Cosmic Manipulator Dude yet, and instead went for Buster Keaton and mashed up truisms. As he said in an interview, it wasn't until after the first season that he figured it out, and it wasn't until the third season that the character got to where he wanted.
The Virgin Missing Adventure "State of Change" occurs between the two Rani TV stories (not counting Dimensions in WTF).

I didn't think they made any modifications to Colin's coat. Sylv seemed to be swimming in it a lot of the time.
Yeah, I hear that Seven's Chessmaster status didn't really come into play until partway through his tenure. It was certainly the most prominent in his last season (which was the first of him I saw.)
Oh. Oh right. Goodbye, Six. That...that really sucks. That really...REALLY sucks. But on the other hand, SEVEN!
In the Target novelisation, his death is ascribed to a "tumultuous buffeting". I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
VIBRATING AND THROBBING AND SCREAMING AND SCIENCE AND CLIFFHANGER.
... now there's a sentence to be taken out of context.
I just remembered: the Rani never explained how she and the Master got the T-Rex out of her TARDIS from the last story...
According to one of Pip and Jane's novelisations, the T-Rex broke its neck on the ceiling of the console room because it was growing too fast. And that's why some things are better left to the imagination.
"Wherever evolution has taken the wrong route, I shall redirect it! That planet you're so obsessed with, Earth, I shall return to the Cretaceous Age." "The Cretaceous Age?" "The potential of the dinosaurs was never fully realized."... she calls herself a scientist? Evolution taking the wrong route? (Not to mention that clearly Pip and Jane think that we're
( ... )
Mel, I'm impressed. Several explosions in this episode so far and you haven't screamed yet. And then comes the cliffhanger, which makes me think the title of "Leather Lungs" should have gone to her rather than Debbie Watling...
"Thank goodness in this regeneration I've regained my impeccable sense of haute couture." *snorts*
Oh wow. I just realized: Seven's neckerchief-thing is almost the same tartan as Jamie's kilt. #SCOTTISHAGENDA It probably was Jamie's - like Four's accessories in Terror of the Zygons.
I mean, the Master's escaped from plenty of situations with little to no explanation before, but at least it was brought up. Actually, it was never explained how he escaped from his apparent demise in Planet of Fire and reappeared unscathed in Mark of the Rani, which understandably annoys a lot of fans.
"Nothing can stop me now!" Really, Rani? That line? Really? Rani + Zaroff = OTP God, I think I just broke my brain...
Okay, so Eight might've had more books. But my point still stands.He

Is it the Rani or Kate O'Mara who has a nose piercing?
Wait...Four's Scottishes from Terror of the Zygons came from Jamie's old wardrobe?
Well, they never explain it, but they do bring it up. *goes to check* Yep:
Rani: "I thought that last mad scheme of yours had finished you for good." Master: "You jest, of course. I'm indestructible. The whole universe knows THAT."
...So yeah. That. >_>
oh god, think of the children...mad scientist babies
I think it must be the Rani, since I doubt piercings would have been well-received in Dynasty.
It's never been stated where Four got the Scottishes, but since they all seem to have the same tartan pattern as Jamie's kilt (again, don't quote me on this - it's just the impression I have) that's what I like to believe.
I remember one of the earlier fan theories about River Song was that she was really the Rani. At first I kept it as one of my possible theories just because I really wanted her back, but somehow I'm becoming less and less convinced that she's really a Time Lady. Oh well, just one more season till we find out!

Context? What is this "context" that you speak of?
Why were all the Rani's geniuses human...oh wow...I never thought of that...
