Doctor Who Season 7
SPOILERS TOTAL. You've been warned.
051: Spearhead from Space
(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.
New Doctor stealing his clothes from a hospital. I believe Eleven did the same thing. I hadn't seen much of Pertwee prior to this, I kind of expected a deeper voice. But maybe that's just the kind of impression a guy with a cape gives off.
The Brigadier is a pretty credulous guy. He first thinks they've found the Doctor, then sees it doesn't look like him but the man claims to know him... so he figures: Well, if the Doctor is some kind of alien that travels in a magic box, the ability to change his face isn't any crazier, so I'll run with that until given reason to believe otherwise.
The hospital security sucks, not sure whether to blame them or UNIT. After the Doctor has already been kidnapped once, he's apparently given no kind of protection since he just gets up and sneaks off while the doctor (lowercase d) is out of the room.
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.
