(First watched 2024-06-04, -05) First impression of the new Doctor... not much, since he spends most of the episode unconscious in bed  Pretty speedy with a wheelchair, though.

It's a weird thing how the show went from looking like one type of very retro to another type of very retro.

The default Autons are a lot like Michael Myers. Blue jumpsuit, fake face, don't talk, can withstand attacks that would take down normal people.

The Doctor says that since the Nestene are/is (?) telepathic any off planet surely know what happened here on Earth. But being telepathic doesn't imply infinite interstellar telepathic range, does it?
I like how at the end the Doctor and Brigadier try to come to an arrangement. The Doctor doesn't care about having a salary, but DOES want a cool car. I'm kind of curious what the Doctor's living space in this era is like, I wonder if we ever see it.

<!-- (First watched YYYY-MM-DD) Thoughts. -->
(First watched 2024-06-12) The only serial to slap Doctor Who in the title like it's a novelization, I think? His new non-stolen car is more of a jalopy, but a good fit for him. Unless it rains, I guess.
 
I'm with the Brigadier on this one, a scared man going nuts and drawing on the wall doesn't imply much... certainly not that he's reverted to a caveman state making cave drawings. Those caves down there must be pretty huge, though, to have room for what seemed like a pretty big dinosaur.
