So I just finished watching Earthshock.

So, I just finished Logopolis.
And I've also seen, but not written up, Destiny of the Daleks, City of Death, Shada, Meglos, Full Circle, State of Decay, Warrior's Gate, and The Keeper of Traken.
That's rather a lot, isn't it?
I wish I had something terribly interesting to say about all of these things. I did rather like Romana II, and her intro amused the hell out of me (particularly the Doctor's reaction to her "barbarian queen" option--clearly, the idea of Leela with cleavage is unsettling), and she got quite a nice send-off, I thought. Going off to do something productive and important.
You know what I'm going to do? Instead of huge write-ups, I'm just going to say a couple things I liked about each episode. That's easier.
...Five, eh? ...well, let's get on with it, then.

Adventures in Watching Almost Every Damn Episode of Doctor Who That is Possible to Find, part ten, special "Exits and Intros" edition:
I'm going to put Three away for a while, I think, until I finally decide to watch Inferno (and probably one of the other Liz episodes, too); I've been sidetracked long enough, and shall now head back to Four, Romana, and the Key to Time, until I go back and watch The Seeds of Doom because I haven't seen nearly enough Four-Sarah Jane and that was the last regular appearance of UNIT anyway. Allons-y!

Adventures in Watching Almost Every Damn Episode of Doctor Who That is Possible to Find, part eight, special "I can't remember anything but I promise you I really liked it" edition:
Only one episode this time, because that took way longer to write up than I thought it would, and I'm feeling a bit writing-drained at the moment, what with powering through...er...something. *coughs* And I haven't even gotten to the really fun part yet.

Since everyone and their mother is talking about how Steven Moffat is taking over as executive producer for Doctor Who in the fifth season, I might as well share my limited, meandering, inconclusive thoughts on the issue: hey, I really, really liked The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances and Blink (my thoughts on The Girl in the Fireplace have changed a bit over time, but I can at least say that it had rather a lot of good bits, and hey, it turns out she wasn't the first woman-from-the-past to fall in love with the guy; clearly she cannot be blamed for it, as there is a precedent), and, having just watched The Curse of Fatal Death, I can definitely say he's got the fanboy chops to do it, so why not. Also, even if we're losing All Gay All The Time RTD, Steven Moffat was the guy who invented Captain Jack, so there really is not going to be any trouble on that front.
(On the subject, as it has been mentioned elsewhere, of Steven Moffat perhaps wanting to make That One Character a companion--sure, she's cool and all, but there's a reason the show only started when the Doctor picked up Ian and Barbara, y'all. Ya gotta have a human in there. Or Romana. But I think Romana was probably just an exception all-around.)

Three minutes into 'The Dominators' (and boy, isn't that an interesting title), and I feel I am morally obligated to share this line with you: "Well, here we are, everyone! The Island of Death!"
It's not actually the Doctor saying it, but the guy still sounds so cheerful.

Adventures in Watching Almost Every Damn Episode of Classic Doctor Who That Is Possible To Find, part two:
In related news, it seems Jamie was actually the longest-lasting Companion the Doctor's ever had, excluding the Brig--and IMDB lists him for 115 episodes, which is rather impressive, even given that that's counting each part as an individual episode. My boy was a mainstay, yo. Except the vast majority of those episodes are lost to the world. I swear to god, I ever get a time machine, I'm going back to right before that fire and nabbing all of the tapes. It's not like there'd be a paradox or anything! They'd be gone anyway!
