+Reconstruction (First watched 2007-02-22, -23, -28, 03-02, -04, -06, -08) &nbsp;First, watching a reconstruction is very different. &nbsp;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. &nbsp;It was amusing to see the same picture used in different situations, or a single image of a person used with different backgrounds. &nbsp;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. &nbsp;It seems like with the previous adventures put together, the series had taken place throughout the space of about a week. &nbsp;This serial frequently had jumps of several days; they were traveling in a caravan through pre-China for weeks. &nbsp;Most of that was a repetition of &quot;Oh, let's try to escape!&quot; &nbsp;&quot;Oh, we're foiled!&quot; &nbsp;&quot;Oh, Tegana is against us!&quot; &nbsp;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. &nbsp;If I wonder what the actors went on to next... I can find out. &nbsp;The [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0581617/ young actress] who played Ping-Cho is now over 60 and has had an extensive acting career.
