The Krotons
Wow. Less than 2 minutes in and we've already got a jealous-romantic subplot happening.
TWO!!! JAMIE!!! ZOE!!! HOLY CRAP I MISSED YOU GUYS!!!
And Two baritone-whistles along the rock quarry with an umbrella. Why am I automatically in love with this image.
That town is made of swiss cheese wedges. It...it seriously is.
Also, kudos to official YouTube channels for having a higher video quality than Netflix.
Vaporized by...VAPOR! WHAT A CONCEPT!
"We are friends!" *instantly confronted by a crapton of spears*
"You wouldn't be so tough without these guards around you!"
"I accept your challenge!"
It is can be badass!Jamie tiems nao?
Holy...YES. YES IT WAS. A WINNER IS YOU. (And Two tries to shield himself and Zoe with his umbrella. HAH.)
"Doctor, what have they DONE to her?"
*Two ignores and looks mournfully at now-destroyed umbrella* "...the vandals..."
"I'm not a doctor of medicine, Zoe." ...well well well, this is certainly new...
Wait. Four's hypno-watch started with Two?
And Jamie actually DOES wear a watch! Fanart makes you aware of some strange things.
A large X appearing on a bleeping screen. I can actually imagine that being quite scary back in the day.
Oh, hang on, Mysterious Unseen Voice. That would be scarier.
"Now if this were an atomic laser, it might be more use!"
"An atomic laser? Is that better than an axe?"
Hey! It's the eyestalks from War of the Worlds!
I have to admit, I'm very amused by the way Jamie is clinging to Zoe when she's a good half-foot shorter than him.
"Hold out your hand, Jamie."
"What for?"
*completely shameless slash radar going off*
"Zoe, watch him. You know what he's like." D'awww...
"Yes, well, Zoe IS something of a genius. It can be very irritating at times."
So The Machine is actually alive? Also: "great jumping gobstoppers what was that." Two, I love you.
Hello, mysterious unexplained fishtanks?
Unexplained fishtanks have been explained. They appear to be...a primordial soup for robots?
Awww, heroic!Jamie thinks he can take on metal monsters with a crowbar. That's just adorable...
Wait, so the machine will kill Jamie with his own lack of intelligence? Also, do the Krotons have to narrate EVERYTHING they see?
Jamie shall be spared. YAY. Also, should I wonder out loud why Zoe's wearing such a short skirt? Or would that be a stupid question?
Wait what's with the mysterious floating salad bowls.
Does it puzzle anyone else that the Krotons have said repeatedly that Jamie "has no value," yet they're not really doing anything to him?
So Jamie prepares to bomb a Kroton while getting it to explain its weakness to him. That is quite impressive.
"Oh my giddy aunt." FINALLY. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR HIM TO SAY THAT FOR A WHILE. *happy face*
I'd say Jamie just whipped out a literal can of whoop-ass.
Oh you fuckers did NOT just vaporize the TARDIS...
...actually, no they didn't! Clever Doctor and his emergency dematerialization system.
Two has been rock'd. This can't be good.
"Can I borrow your braces?"
"Noooo!"
Um, Zoe, general rule of thumb: do not mess with the Doctor's outfit. Ever.
Wait, maybe it's just because this is in black-and-white, but...is that rock BLEEDING?
"Jamie! I'd forgotten all about him in the excitement!" Shame on you, Two. Shame. SHAME.
Poor Jamie. He's been held captive, nearly mind-melted, and half-crushed by a door, and Two's STILL sending him off on errands.
Having never gotten to work in a lab in High School, I honestly have no idea what the sulfuric acid they're making will actually do.
And then there was a s'plosion!
So the Krotons basically just want to go home? I'll be interested to see where this goes.
The Second Doctor: Grand master of comical delay tactics. Patrick Troughton is one of my favorite people on this show for a reason.
Meltingggggg...MELTINGGGGGGGG...
A chemistry lesson from the good folks at the BBC. Don't try this at home, kids.
