Reconstruction (First watched 2007-02-22, -23, -28, 03-02, -04, -06) | Reconstruction (First watched 2007-02-22, -23, -28, 03-02, -04, -06, -08) First, watching a reconstruction is very different. It reminds me of some old [[Richard Scarry]] and Masters of the Universe VHS tapes we had as youngsters that were more like narrated storybooks. It was amusing to see the same picture used in different situations, or a single image of a person used with different backgrounds. Much harder to keep one's attention when there's literally no action to follow. | ||
Honestly the actual goings-on didn't seem the most captivating in this serial, though it did have quite a scale. It seems like with the previous adventures put together, the series had taken place throughout the space of about a week. This serial frequently had jumps of several days; they were traveling in a caravan through pre-China for weeks. Most of that was a repetition of "Oh, let's try to escape!" "Oh, we're foiled!" "Oh, Tegana is against us!" I did quite enjoy in the last two parts how the Doctor and Kublai Khan seemed to get along so well, sharing the experience of being old men with failing bodies. | |||
I also must admit, watching episodes of a show from over 40 years ago makes me feel a bit like a time traveler myself. If I wonder what the actors went on to next... I can find out. The [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0581617/ young actress] who played Ping-Cho is now over 60 and has had an extensive acting career. | |||
