random by-by-blow: doctor who, "the caves of androzani"

[stars_fell]

In which I liveblog my first full-through viewing of "The Caves of Androzani", aka the Fifth Doctor's exit story. Man, I really need a Five icon.

If you ever get a chance to watch it on DVD Peter, Nicola, and Harper are on the commentary together they point out the errors a and laugh with it give tons of great information on the episode. I love that you are a phantom fan too :)

[stars_fell]

I understand they're planning on releasing a mo'better DVD with even more features? So I'm waiting on that to buy it. And hell yeah I'm a Phantom fan, have been since 1997. It was my second major fandom. :)

[milady_vilya]

oo if they are I'll buy it again :) hee Phantom was my first major fandom

I still can't believe you've only just seen the whole thing now. :P SHAME ON YOU GURL.

But yes that's one awesome episode (and it gives me some kind of vindicated pleasure that Peri is the companion) and protective!Five is very unf.

Dude, this is me. You know this. EVERYTHING gets put off until a later date.

I'm pretty sure I have Caves screencaps on my hard drive. I ought to make some icons.

Isn't it COMPLETELY AWESOME? I mean it tears your heart out and does a violent jig on it, but AWESOMELY.

And bitchy Five will always be hilarious. Though I saw it more as awkward banter that occasionally sharpened because this Five is - well.

[stars_fell]

YES YES YES. I kept rewinding and rewinding, even though it pissed YouTube off.

--not been having an easy time of it lately? Episodes definitely, BFAs too? I want to watch Planet of Fire too, but the BBC Worldwide channel doesn't have it and I couldn't find it elsewhere.

(BTW, I meant what Lucy said, I'd give a kidney to play against you again. Which means I'd be kidney-less since I said I'd give one for a Seven costume and I'm getting the jumper, so... :D)

[shobogan]

Hah. XD I think I've watched it three times. Which is HARD YO. FIIIVE /sob

Yeeah. His last season is pretty much made of angst and explosions. The audios are a bit of a break, for the most part - I mean, comparatively - but I tend to think SOMETHING happened to put him and Peri in the place they were in Androzani. ...I used to have some more streaming sites in my favourites but I lost them when my computer died and revived. :(

(Awww. <3 *gives you one back!* We could do something in one of their journals? MAYBE HE CAN SAEV HER DURING HER CANON UPDATE.)

[stars_fell]

Really? I could watch that shit all day. But then I'd just be perving because I meant what I said when I said he looked DELICIOUS. Plus the blatant Phantom of the Opera ripping-off was too awesome for one viewing.

Didn't I read something you wrote once trying to work that out? I'm pretty sure SOMEONE put something of the sort on Teaspoon...

(YES PLEASE. I WILL GIVE YOU ALL THE CONTENTS OF MY HARD DRIVE FOR THAT (and believe you me, it is a LOT of contents))

I listened to a podcast last year (can't remember which one) but the writer wrote this story with Tom Baker in mind, hence the reason why the Fifth Doctor doesn't seem like himself in this well-crafted tale.

[stars_fell]

Really? Huh. I can't picture Four in this at all.

[justtheficsmaam]

I LOVE this tale so much. That moment when Five is all breaking his chains and hijacking the ship, I am completely DONE! UNF UNF UNF!!!

[stars_fell]

Yeah, I was pretty much like "please sir, may I have some more?" for THE ENTIRE EPISODE. :D
