Oh, I've distracted one and caused his death! Oh, I shall play along with claiming to be Zeus, and get mixed up in more historical shit! | (First watched 2009-11-02, -03, 2010-02-12) Man, the Doctor is a pro at getting into trouble.

So weird to have a goofy episode with them mucking about on a silent film set, then having the Doctor break the fourth wall and wish people a happy Christmas. | So weird to have a goofy episode with them mucking about on a silent film set, then having the Doctor break the fourth wall and wish people a happy Christmas. | ||

(First watched 2010-Late June) Yawnorama City. The Doctor and Steven get separated, Steven spends 3 episodes bungling about getting involved in things, and then the Doctor shows back up and they take off. The end of the last episode things got a bit more interesting, though. The Doctor's refusal to help prevent the historical bloodshed pisses Steven off and he decides to leave at whatever the next stop may be. | |||
Then... Steven softens his stance and returns to warn the Doctor that the TARDIS has attracted attention. Aaand they pick up a new traveler... who doesn't really seem to give a shit about the oddness of the situation? I guess this is the first of many young women from the (at the time) modern day that the Doctor picks up. | |||

(First watched 2010-07-01) Dodo is really dippy. She continues to not really give a shit or be weirded out about stumbling upon a group of time/space travelers. | |||
This story is off to a strong start. For a simple thing, it's nice to see some actual live action rather than a reconstruction using a sometimes hard to hear audio track. And for another, the setting is very interesting. A time millions of years in the future where the entirety of humanity is on a single space ship in shrunken form, in an attempt to find a new home. But like Europeans bringing disease to North America, our travelers have brought viruses from the past that these people haven't had to deal with, and shit breaks loose. | |||
I do notice that in this time before color, the TARDIS was referred to as black. | |||
