Doctor Who Season 4
SPOILERS TOTAL. You've been warned.

027: The Smugglers
(First watched 2011-06-13, -14, -15, -16) Boy oh boy. A reconstruction. A historical. The group split up, and at least some of them jailed. It's like my least favorite formats and clichés have joined forces. Really the only thing a bit interesting about this one is thanks to a 2011 episode which seems to link to this one a bit by way of "Captain Avery".
"We have arrived at the coldest place in the world!" Well, which world?

028: The Tenth Planet
(First watched 2011-06-17, -18, -20) December 1986! The future!
These Cybermen have outfits only slightly more advanced than the cheap plastic Halloween costumes for kids. Also, Polly seems a biiiit narrow-minded. I mean, I know the Cybermen are being jerkoffs and everything, but get mad about the right stuff. More than once she went on about how they couldn't get along because they were different. Way to love diversity there, Polls.
So it's Hartnell's last complete episode as the Doctor... and all he does is collapse at the beginning and lay in bed? Will we see him do anything at all again before regenerating?
The singsongy but roboty sound of the Cybermen is like autotune gone horribly horribly wrong. Melting Mondas... well, good thing having an Earth-sized planet melting nearby has NO detrimental effects.
The whole thing vaguely reminds me of the Star Trek: Enterprise episode with the Borg left over from Star Trek: First Contact. Human-machine mix, at a remote snowy base, and the Cybermen were even saying things like "Resistance is useless."
Bye-bye, Hartnell.
