recent audiobook listening. the doctor who target book collection outshine their tv counterparts. never seen meglos, as i’m saving it for future me, so hearing the audiobook first was a unique experience.
Farewell, Christopher Bidmead. #doctorwho
Verdict: Not the masterpiece my nostalgia promised, but a solid reminder that Doctor Who has always been ridiculous — and that’s why we love it.
Yes, it’s daft. Yes, it’s over the top. But it’s 1970s daft, which means somehow still better than half the stuff on TV now.
The Master’s reveal: equal parts terrifying skeleton man and “Halloween mask bought at the Op Shop.” Still gave me chills though.
Gallifreyan politics? Imagine a space senate where everyone is equally smug, corrupt, and wearing impractical hats.
The Matrix sequences: one minute nightmare fuel, the next minute looking like they borrowed props from the local Scout camp.
Tom Baker basically carries the whole thing solo. It’s 4 episodes of “What if The Doctor was the show?” Answer: chaos, sarcasm, and big hair.
🧵The Deadly Assassin (is there any other kind?). A fun romp — not quite the epic I remembered, but still gloriously bonkers. #DoctorWho
Re-watching The Deadly Assassin, after many years, and noticed that in the credits of episode one, The Master is reveled as Peter Pratt despite the character not being revealed in the first episode. #DoctorWho
I’m happy to pretend it was Nation’s plan all along. Plot holes? What plot holes?
Who’s the real ChatGPT of #Blakes7 — Orac or Zen?
Wow, I hadn’t realised that! I just did some research and… oh wow, you’re right. Knowing that really does add another layer to the episode. #Blakes7
As predicted, another fantastic episode of @thedwshow.net.
Verdict: Mission to Destiny is Blake’s 7 doing Agatha Christie in space.
You can tell the guest cast are having fun chewing on the whodunnit vibe. #Blakes7
Also—Avon in detective mode? Yes, please.
It’s a murder mystery in space, with a neat “locked room” setup and a good sense of urgency.
The plot moves well, the mystery holds up, and I actually appreciated some of the character beats more on the rewatch. #Blakes7
🧵 Rewatching Blake’s 7 – Mission to Destiny
First time I’ve gone back to an episode since my initial watch a couple of weeks ago… and I still really like it. #Blakes7
❔ — Does anyone actually use the Discover timeline here? Personally, I’ve found the Following timeline to be a much better option — more relevant, more engaging, and without the random noise. What’s your go-to timeline, and why? #Bluesky #FollowingTimeline
Please surrender your fan card to the nearest Chameleon Circuit for immediate reprogramming.
Eek! My good god, thank you! #Blakes7
Sounds like my kind of crossover! The Robots of Death is peak classic Who, and now you’ve got me curious about your Blake’s 7 deep dives. Off to hit play…
I know *The Trial of a Time Lord* divides opinion, but I have to admit – I like it. In fact, here’s my controversial take: I actually enjoy the trial scenes more than the stories themselves. #DoctorWho #BBC #ClassicDoctorWho
