<!-- (First watched YYYY-MM-DD) Thoughts. -->
(First watched 2024-03-26, -27, ) So trying to get away from that lava fast enough just in case the TARDIS can't handle it, they end up outside of time and space. As portrayed in the first two episodes anyway, I feel it is a bit more fanciful and abstract than the 60s TV production values can properly portray. There are times when they're clearly supposed to be walking through nothingness, but you can still see where the gray-white nothing floor becomes the gray-white nothing wall.
 
In episode 2 Jamie is replaced by a different actor. Without checking I wouldn't know if this was part of the original episode plan or something thrown in, but it was handled pretty well. And probably even a simpler explanation to follow than when the Doctor himself changed faces a few years back. It's actually pretty funny, the Doctor is given possible parts of Jamie's face to put back correctly and he just... blows it. (Checking now, I see Frazer Hines apparently had chicken pox for a few episodes.)
 
A few times "The Master" has been mentioned. My knowledge of the old show is limited, so I wonder if this is really the long-running character "The Master"? Or just someone else using a similar name. Most of the early Master stuff I've heard of has to do with the Third Doctor era but I couldn't tell you his first appearance. You might expect a lot of Masters and Rulers and Leaders to pop up. The Doctor doesn't seem to register any recognition upon hearing the name, but maybe The Master wasn't going by The Master the last time he knew him. (Checking now, it isn't. Just another Master.)
