Please take your litter home. Do not drop it in this litter bin.
Ha! I didn't notice that before. What the hell?
'Not funny... is like this."
Toooom!
The Doctor has a little moment over Romana's old room. D'aww.
You know, people go on about how the departure of a companion didn't have the same weight back in the day that it does now, but that's bullshit. Little moments like this over Romana's room, or his agonizing over jettisoning it later, or that pained look on Five's face when he temporarily forgets that she left when his regeneration is playing him up are just great.
Tegan gets a lot of dialogue about doing things yourself and making your own way in the world, presumably to show that she's a Modern Woman.
Arrgg! Feminist dialogue in Doctor Who! Get it away! Any second now Liz Shaw is going to appear and will start talking about "Woman's Liberation"!
I'm sorry, that's rather mean to Tegan. She gets some nice dialogue with Nyssa later about stuff other than the Doctor, thus allowing by beloved show to pass The Bechdel TestI

oh, man, you aren't enjoying logopolis? i love this one. mainly because it's so silly (and slashy) and i quite like the dialogue, though i doens't have the sparkle of a DNA edited script. your notes cracked me up in general, though, particularly the litter sign, which i like to think is a BBC in-joke and not just stupidity...
p.s. adric will never be useful. unless you count in castrovalva, but then he's useful to the wrong side. however, i must own that, like logopolis, i am pretty fond of him.
I like it a lot overall - I'm just not crazy about the first episode, which seems to meander around all over the place without ever really getting to the point... Once they reach Logopolis, though, it's quality stuff. :)
let's be fair to old who - this: I'm just not crazy about the first episode, which seems to meander around all over the place without ever really getting to the point could apply to basically any first episode ever ;) actually, to be super fair to old who, it could apply to the most recent episode of new who also.
Fair point; I'm also probably not being entirely fair to Logopolis in that I watched it side-by-side with The Caves of Androzani, which flies along from the word go. I just think it's a shame that an otherwise excellent story is let down by a mediocre first episode, particularly since it was the Doctor's final adventure.
...which could also apply to End of Time. But shh. ¬¬
