| 009: '''Planet of Giants'''

| *Planet of Giants ''[[1964]] [[October 31]]''

| *Dangerous Journey ''[[1964]] [[November 7]]''
| |
| *Crisis ''[[1964]] [[November 14]]''

| (First watched 2007-07-30, -31, -08-01) Very cool. Were it a modern episode a [[Honey, I Shrunk the Kids]] comparison would be appropriate, but this episode predates that movie by a quarter century. Considering that and a BBC budget, it was done well. Great to see something really goofy go wrong with the TARDIS, other than just ending up in an inconvenient place or time. The background drama going on wasn't very remarkable, but it kept the environment of hour protagonists from being static... and somehow gave them a way to save many lives, even on modern Earth as inch-high versions of themselves. The villain trying to disguise his voice with a piece of cloth, though... yikes, what a crappy trick. I think this is the first time I remember seeing that cliche in something other than a completely parodic manner.

| This episode made me want to play [[Pikmin]].

| 010: '''The Dalek Invasion of Earth'''
| |
| *World's End ''[[1964]] [[November 21]]''
| |
| *The Daleks ''[[1964]] [[November 28]]''
| |
| *Day of Reckoning ''[[1964]] [[December 5]]''
| |
| *The End of Tomorrow ''[[1964]] [[December 12]]''
| |
| *The Waking Ally ''[[1964]] [[December 19]]''
| |
| *Flashpoint ''[[1964]] [[December 26]]''
| |
| | |
| (First watched 2007-08-04, -05, -06, -07, -08, -09) The Doctor said their previous run-in with the Daleks was "a million years" in the future as an explanation to why they were still around. I won't take that as an accurate measurement, but... the Daleks they saw before seemed to have come into being on that planet, and seemed bound to the planet. Are we now to take it that they were just some remaining sect, and the others had long since gone off planet to conquer?
| |
| | |
| Goodbye Susan. Boy, that'll make things awkward for Ian and Barbara if they ever get back home. They disappear at the same time as a student, and turn back up without her.
| |
| | |
| I think it speaks to British-Gallifreyan conceptions of maturity and ages of consent when they can get away with the Doctor dumping off his ~16-year-old granddaughter in a devastated world to get married to someone she's just met.

| 011: '''The Rescue'''
| |
| *The Powerful Enemy ''[[1965]] [[January 2]]''
| |
| *Desperate Measures ''[[1965]] [[January 9]]''
| |
| | |
| (First watched 2007-10-07, -08) Not bad. A short one, mostly an excuse to pick up another traveler in Vicki, but the question of what happened on the planet was a change, too. No, not an Earth-Dido conflict or the Didoans becoming aggressive... but just a human mass-murderer trying to make it appear that way as a cover story.

| 012: '''The Romans'''
| |
| *The Slave Traders ''[[1965]] [[January 16]]''
| |
| *All Roads Lead to Rome ''[[January 23]]''
| |
| *Conspiracy ''[[1965]] [[January 30]]''
| |
| *Inferno ''[[1965]] [[February 6]]''
| |
| | |
| (First watched 2008-04-23, -05-01, -06, -08) Boy, the doctor is a big grump. Refusing to let Ian and Barbara go with him and Vicky to Rome, I'd think him randy if I didn't know better.
| |
| | |
| They didn't do a very good job of making the fight hectic; when Barbara beaned Ian ''accidentally'' it absolutely looked intentional.
| |
| | |
| Ahaha, the Doctor really manhandled that assassin! And was cocksure about it afterward!
| |
| | |
| Ahaha, the Doctor's silent lyre playing as an "emperor's new clothes" trick so everyone fakes that they heard him. His weird antics are making this my favorite of the historical serials yet.
| |
| | |
| Rome? BUUUUURNED.

| |
| | |
| (First watched 2008-05-11, -12, -08-16, -10-11, -11-27, -28) I know there's only so much they could do, but those ant things walking around with a pair of human legs look silly indeed.
| |
| | |
| Bees, too?
| |
| | |
| Hahaha. In the third episode, an ant man inadvertently bumps into the camera since he probably can't see shit in there.
| |
| | |
| Boy, this one is just sooo goofy in an unfun way. That it's taking me half a year to finish watching it is both an effect and cause.
| |
| | |
| OK, so it did end up taking me half a year to see. At this rate I'd never catch up. But boy, from awful costumes to boring story, this is pretty much scraping the bottom of what I expected of the early years of this show. We didn't even get much main character interaction beyond Vicki/Doctor, since they were all split up.

| 014: '''The Crusade'''

| *The Lion ''[[1965]] [[]]''
| |
| *The Knight of Jaffa ''[[1965]] [[]]''
| |
| *The Wheel of Fortune ''[[]] [[]]''
| |
| *The War Lords ''[[]] [[]]''
| |
| | |
| (First watched 2008-12-10, -28, 2009-01-01, -03) Hey, this later-day version includes an intro by old-ass Ian. Very cool.
| |
| | |
| So Ian gets knighted and the Doctor wishes he'd been, too. While I wouldn't be surprised if it happens by the end of the serial, I know it happens to him at least once in a later incarnation.
| |
| | |
| On the whole this one reminds me of a less eventful The Romans, or even The Reign of Terror. These historical ones seem to have a bit of a pattern of Barbara getting imprisoned, Ian rushing off to find her, and the Doctor trying to use power to his advantage by playing a highfalutin role.

| (First watched 2009-01-04, -08) The first episode was quite interesting. The slow discovery of the oddness of their situation and how their interaction with the rest of the world is not as it should be reminded me of [[The Langoliers]]. The Doctor's explanation of how it's all quite explainable by dimensions of time doesn't seem to make much sense, but really his understanding of stuff like this is supposed to be way beyond the viewer's.
| |
| | |
| The Doctor in a Dalek machine! That's got to be the coolest thing since Mario got into Kuribo's shoe. Or vice-versa, considering this was a quarter century earlier. I also love how he foils the mind-reading machine by sending it nonsense imagery.
