Doctor Who Season 3
SPOILERS TOTAL. You've been warned.

018: Galaxy 4
(First watched 2009-05-12, -16, -27, -28) If Daleks were salt shakers, these chumbleys are... layered Roombas?
I really like the whistling sound the chumbleys make, though. Both mechanical and birdlike.

019: Mission to the Unknown
(First watched 2009-?)

020: The Myth Makers
(First watched 2009-11-02, -03, 2010-02-12) Man, the Doctor is a pro at getting into trouble. Oh, there are people fighting to the death, I think I shall see what they're up to! 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!
After watching the second episode, I feel I must apologize to the Doctor. While going along with the Zeus cover was doomed for failure, it's a hell of a lot better than Vicki's admitting she's from the future, nearly giving away important future events in an ongoing war, then getting pegged for a Greek spy anyway.
Again the lack of a Prime Directive equivalent comes into play. The Doctor at first thinks the Trojan Horse is just part of the myth, but he's perfectly willing to suggest it after air gliders don't pan out.
So another underage female companion is lost to essentially love at first sight. And the replacement is something different--not modern or even from the future, but of ancient Greece.

(First watched 2010-02-13, -14, -??, 04-22) So now they show up on that "Dalek Cutaway" planet from a bit back. For a Doctor, this guy should really keep some antibiotics and whatnot in his TARDIS.
So this element was SO RARE that the only place it could be found across multiple galaxies was in Earth's solar system, and in such tiny quantities that it took decades to make something about the size of a soda can? That's pretty far-fetched, even for Doctor Who. MORE far-fetched? Letting that completely priceless object get snatched up by the Doctor in disguise while everyone else is distracted by a loud noise.
So so much for Katarina. Ejecting herself into space with a crazy dude. What a waste. Did she even know what the hell she was doing? She'd been out of ancient Greece like 3 minutes.
