(First watched 2024-11-09, -, -, -, -) Interesting to see the beginning with the Doctor mocking non-scientific things as impossible, when "Hey, impossible non-scientific things are happening!" was the basis of much of the [[Doctor Who Series 14|most recent series]]. But for all that, he sure recognized _something_ from the archaeological dig on TV that he knows is dangerous. A bit irresponsible to not tell the other UNIT folks _any_ details before he goes running off with Jo. Aaaaaand there's the Master... summoning something in a ritual? What won't that guy get up to.

During the ritual the Master said something like "Doing my will is the whole of the law", which made me laugh. I'm well familiar with "Do as thou wilt is the whole of the law", and that is a fun play on it.
 
The uhh... living Gargoyle or whatever looks pretty silly with his tongue perma stuck out. They also wisely kept the effects budget down by only IMPLYING a creature that's dozens of feet tall, but never showing anything more than footprints.
 
So what the archaelogical dig was getting into was... a spaceship, or at least a sort of spaceship hangar with a very condensed spaceship. I wonder what the Doctor recognized from outside that made him realize this.
