That was really rather good.

Except the costumes. Those were highly amusing instead.

But it had, like, plot twists and everything!
And did introduction for a bunch of characters at once.
And had that cool recursion thing as a Theme.

I like it when they're running around like it's an Escher painting. The FX are very much of their time but it's great anyways.

Adric makes me LOL in a I-shouldn't-see-it-that-way way. Because obviously it isn't bondage and seduction and moaning and stuff. Nope. It's entirely innocent evil mastermind stuff. Not kinky at all.

... yeah, and if I could believe that the entire era would be much less disturbing.

The Master pretty much rules. How many bad guys have their own reality?

I liked the Doctor's method of navigating in the TARDIS.
... okay, I was rewriting it in my head so it's Jack following Ten around as he strips, but that's entirely beside the point ...

I like the TARDIS. There's a lot of it in this one. Well, 25% less by the end of it, but still.

One wonders how many companions' rooms met the same fate as Romana's.


... From certain points of view, the Doctor do tend to look like a bit of a git.

The only time he mentions former companions is when he's manic / amnesiac.

... that part was funny.


The Ceremonial Acquisition Of The New Clothes was kind of fun.
Doesn't hurt that I rather like them.
... actually, the only Doctor who I look at the fashions and *blinky* is 6.
... and scarily enough I remember at the time really liking it.


This was cool. With a plot. I know I said that at the start but it do bear repeating.
... there's a recursion joke in there somewhere but it's 0633 on an all night awake and, well, it isn't in my brain much.

I HEART CASTROVALVA. It pretty much immediately jumped up and bit me on the nose and said "I DEMAND I BECOME A FAVOURITE". Which it totally did. It ties with Enlightenment and Frontios in second place (none will ever replace Planet Of Fire).

'Castrovalva' is actually the name of an Escher painting! YAY RECURSSION.

Master/Adric is kinky bondage lovehate. The Master PWNS ALL. And yes. Ten needs to navigate like that!

And that part WAS funny. I wanted to give Two!Fivey ("When I say run, run!") a hug. He looked all WOOBIE.

I'm kinda hyper.

Six terrifies me. And I want the hours of my life I spent watching Timelash back!
