A dandy and a clown
Jul. 23rd, 2019 12:21 pmSo I didn’t so a proper post yesterday so here it is, though it’s mostly rambling about Who. (I really need to sort my icons tomorrow to add an old Who one)
The second Big Finish stream was Sunday. There were some pretty good stories, but the main issue was still there. Because most were part 1’s of a story you’d just get into it and then it would switch to another one. I did lose focus Part way through but I managed to hear most of them. Like the first day, the better ones were the last few, which were hour long stories (that, although from boxsets, worked on there own). My favourite ones were the UNIT, River and Legacy of time ones, which were all in this format.
Yesterday was, for the most part, a lazy day. When mum went to the library I got really tired and napped. When I woke, I started reading Doom Patrol but just one issue, and found I passed my uni course like I mentioned yesterday.
I then ended up reading the booklet that came with the Doctor Who season 10 boxset and ended up reading it over the course of the night. The booklet had things from each episode and it was fascinating to read about the process (as well as random stories from the set, like a bomb scare that turned out to be due to an effects guy bringing his clock in his bag!).
Reading it, and big finish stream, meant I was eager to start watching so after the usual tv and Stardew (getting to level 65 in the mine, almost finishing a community Center bundle and getting to 7 hearts with Sebastian) I put on the first episode.
The first episode of season 10 is The Three Doctors. Done for the show’s 10th anniversary, as the name implies, it was a show the featured the first three doctors together. (Although the first Doctor’s role was more minor due to William Hartnell’s health.)
It features a lot of stuff over its four parts. The Brigadier gets his first trip to another planet and his reactions to it (and the inside of the tardis) are priceless. We get to see a few other time lords (who reward the doctor for his help by ending his exile on earth) and, of course, we get the Doctors. The banter between the second and third doctor is so funny. And Jo is, as always, so sweet.
Omega is a pretty good villain, as a time lord who was bitter at being forgotten and trapped in an anti matter universe. I’m surprised he hasn’t been bought back in the new series because he could work even now (though with the time lords at the end of time and hiding I dunno how it would work). I quite like his minions too who have a pretty good and alien look to them.
I’m looking forward to watching the rest of the boxset now, I’ve not watched them all in context before (well, apart from frontier in space/planet of the Daleks). I remember carnival of monsters and the green death were pretty good episodes.
I’m not sure if I’ll watch them weekly or more often so we’ll see. Tonight, though, I’m gonna watch some of the special features from the disc (including checking out the behind the sofa thing) after Stardew. I might do Resident Evil 5 soon, cause I need to get an achievement for the horror quest on game pass.
Now though, once I’ve eaten, we might be going to pick up mum’s meds cause they messed up some last time.
