Classic!Who s4—The Smugglers

[flowsoffire]

Eeee, feels nice to put "s4" in a title ;)

Well… that's the thing that feels nicest. XD The Smugglers wasn't a favourite of mine—I think the poor recon quality didn't help. Also the plot confused me a lot, with all the pirats everywhere backstabbing each other (guess I would have understood better if I'd put in more of an effort, lol), and my fondness for Ben and Polly kind of faded away. XD Polly seemed kind of useless, just squealing at the rats like a baby and being told to run off to the TARDIS and… put the kettle on, for god's sake. Also—"Yeah, well, I'm not playing what's his name? Watson to you." Wow, girl, way to sound cultured. XD Ben wasn't much better—"This friend of yours, the one you call the Doctor, is he a learned man?" / "Oh, not half." LOL, yeah, right.

So yeah, it was nice because it was Who, but nothing much besides. Except for One sweet-talking the pirat, and reading cards, and stating at the end that their next adventure might very well be way worse instead of cozier like Polly hoped—hell of a foreshadowing right there. Oneeeeee. Anyway, there's Tenth Planet next—not a recon! (Well, except for the very last part. Aka regeneration. Fml.) One's last serial! And Cybermen! *excited*

My favorite Doctor? Ooh. That's difficult. My standard answer is Four. But really, it depends on my mood at the time. I love the Doctor, in all his facets. :) So, short version: I can't choose. :). It's easier to choose between companions.

Re: Dalek Invasion of Earth. I saw that one a while ago, actually. I liked it. It was long, as Classic Who tends to be. You can't beat Barbara running over a Dalek with a truck. Hee.

Re: The epic list of Who-ness. Yeah...I may have bit off more than I can chew with that. LOL.

Hahaha, I understand… I think I'll be the very same. Only seen One thus far, but all Doctors look fantastic—and for New!Who, it would be Matt because of Eleven/River, but besides I love all three of them equally ;)

Barbara ftw! :D Eeeee, I remember the truck thing…

XD I can empathize with that… ;)
