shadowhiveSo a quick post that’s less fully negative.
To my surprise the guy came to do the door, though we’re none the wiser as to what’s gonna happen next with it which seems wrong.
I ripped Heartwork to my laptop so I’m gonna copy it to my player in the morning. I love what I’ve heard so far.
There was an attempt at the uni assessment but I couldn’t focus. There’s two questions, an essay (ugh) and something about the group stuff. I didn’t do too much with it, my focus wasn’t there, so I’m not sure how to answer that but we’ll see. Ugh.
This afternoon I ended up watching The Sontaran Experiment, since my nights have been eh and the episode was short. Like Black Orchid, Experiment is two parts (roughly the length of a single regular ep of new Who) so I knew there was time. Plus there’s a few long special features on the disc to watch so I figured to watch them it’d be easier to watch the ep now.
So the ep itself. If I’m honest it’s a bit... eh. I’m not sure I can place why but it’s just not great, though it is funny how bright Sarah Jane’s coat was and the robot... I dunno why but it amused me. I think it was Sarah Jane’s reaction to the sontaran that sold the whole thing, though the experiments were suitably grim.
I guess my main issue is why would the sontaran bother? For one surely they’d already have information on humans on file (even if all the information on the poison sky fleet got lost when they were destroyed surely they had to be encountered between then). And why do it in the first place? The fleet was ready to go and could have taken Earth with no issue at least (it’s not as if there was a human population on the surface).
Maybe the making of will shed some light,
Next week is genesis of the daleks, though I’m not sure I’ll watch it Monday causa Star Wars day. Genesis is generally regarded as one of the best old Who eps but I think I only saw it once, ages ago.
