Good for you! I love Season 7; Silurians is great. And as for shipping Liz and the Brig - there should be as much of that as possible! :-D (personally, I quite like his unreasonable demand to have her man the phones...)
I recommend Ambassadors because you can't just watch three out of Liz' only four stories, you gotta do them all!
And again, The Silurians is the greatest of all Whoniverse products. The moral gray, oh, all the lovely gray! I love how everyone is wrong. I love how the Doctor starts to slowly go slightly mad with egotistic obsessive curiousness at the end. I love that they ACTUALLY LET THAT EPIDEMIC GET OUT THERE IN THE PUBLIC. That was terrifying. Like, how the fuck are you going to fix that?! OH MY GOD! And I love that that's the longest Geoffrey Palmer's lasted in a Who role. <3
Yep, so, this and Caves of Androzani. But where this stops at moral ambiguities and lapses of judgment, Caves goes all the way to stark and cynical. Anyway, pretty much I like my Who good and fucked up and those two do it incredibly well.

Oh! I really hadn't realised Liz was only in four stories! Yes, your recommendation makes perfect sense!

He really was, wasn't he? I was fascinated by how utterly adamant he was that he was going to go and start reviving them again *right away*!

I know! I was watching it and felt convinced they'd catch Masters at the railway station - and my jaw dropped open when they didn't!

LOL yes! And oh, young!Geoffrey! I've never seen him so young before!
"He really was, wasn't he? I was fascinated by how utterly adamant he was that he was going to go and start reviving them again *right away*!"
It made me think of the scientist whose hubris and conviction that he could get the Silurians to cooperate with him to the point of threatening them for the sake of personal intellectual advancement got him killed. The Doctor was starting to go down that same road. IT WAS AMAZING. MY GOD I LOVED THAT STORY.
The Silurians is one of my favorite serials; I haven't heard Old Soldiers yet, but hearing that it's set after this story, when there's so many Issues between the Doctor and the Brig, makes me really eager for a listen.
Also, I highly encourage Liz/Brig shipping; there's never enough of that. :D Spearhead from Space is very, very shippy in the beginning, although I found that Season 7 made me ship Three/Liz, Three/Brig, and Liz/Brig all at once by the end.
I hadn't noticed the wobbly rocks, though! I'll have to go back and check.

I really enjoyed "Old Soldiers" - it rounds out the Brig's character and gives him a bit more depth than the TV show.

LOL Threesomes galore!

*giggles* I really fell about (although it wasn't that funny!)
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
No worse than all those people who only watch Ten for David Tennant!

Agreed!!

I must admit, I was amused by her "I'm a scientist not an office boy" response! You GO Liz!! :D

Hubris on the part of the Doctor? Or just that he thought he'd do better because he's a Time Lord, not a human?
