001: '''An Unearthly Child'''

*The Firemaker ''[[1963]] [[December 14]]''


(First watched 2007-01-05, -06, -07, -08) As an introduction to the concept it does its job, especially the first episode. &nbsp;However, the caveman struggles that dominate the last three are a bit blah. &nbsp;The Doctor sure was a much more grumpy and truly inhuman man here than the character he's evolved into by 2006. &nbsp;Knowing quite little detail about the early days of the series, I was a bit surprised to see the two school teachers dragged into the whole mess; I guess I'm most used to the &quot;Doctor + female companion&quot; group. &nbsp;As a casting note, it seemed pretty obvious that the &quot;15 year old&quot; really wasn't. &nbsp;By IMDB's reckoning [[Carole Ann Ford|she]] was 23 at the time.

(First watched 2007-01-10, -11, -12, -13, -15, -15, -16) In a way, the early part of this series reminds me of Sliders. &nbsp;They got lost on their first trip, and then without the proper information and equipment bungle on to the next stop, solving problems so they can survive along the way. &nbsp;The Doctor really is quite a selfish grump. &nbsp;It's interesting to see how he's really a bit of an adversary to the teachers, though they're forced to rely on each other for continued survival and transportation. &nbsp;With the benefit of... foresight of the 2005 version of the Daleks which made them seem formidable even if goofy-looking, the original 60s goofy-looking ones gain a retroactive feel of danger.
30&quot; screen size


The Daleks are clearly not as much of a threat in this serial as they grow to be 40 years later. &nbsp;It should be interesting to see how this technology gap changes in the meantime. &nbsp;Certainly they have a long way to go from being floor-powered and shooting paralyzing goo to the flying, disintegration-ray-shooting, Time Lord enemies I know they become.
35&quot;x23.5&quot;x21.5&quot;


It's hard to call it music, but the combination of low note and following weird sound effect used to convey weirdness of the Dalek city was somehow really effective.

Audio out


003:
Basically every type of input in the back: HDMI, component, S-Video, composite, and RF.


---
Side has some video input, headphone output.


004:
The above set seems to be sold out. &nbsp;But this is not all a bad thing. &nbsp;I'm thinking it was put into closeout to make way for putting the very similar successor model there. &nbsp;Essentially it seems like the same set but with fewer mixed reviews and complaints to be found online, which seems like a Good Thing.

33.8&quot;x21.7&quot;x21.1&quot; (so actually a little smaller than the other set... 88%-ish the volume)

TV stands... they basically seem to be huge monstrosities or nearly sitting the set on the ground. &nbsp;I want something maybe 3' foot from the ground, and without encasing the set so it's difficult to actually connect or disconnect as I know I'll do frequently enough. &nbsp;Close-ish but not right things... TV I'm considering is 35&quot; wide, 22&quot; deep.

The above set seems to be sold out.  But this is not all a bad thing.  I'm thinking it was put into closeout to make way for putting the very similar successor model there.  Essentially it seems like the same set but with fewer mixed reviews and complaints to be found online, which seems like a Good Thing.
