Meddling Monk

The finale moves along quite quickly.

The mischievous monk is in many ways more like later incarnations of the Doctor. While the Doctor doesn’t change big things in history, he adjusts things a lot more in later years. There’s a bit of the monk in Troughton, Tom Baker, McCoy, and Smith.

Highly recommend this one.

Meddling Monk part 3

Local squabbles keep getting in the way of the Monk’s plans.

Apparently some scenes in the previous episodes had to be reshot. They only paid for a couple minutes of the monk chant recording, and they played too much if it.

This episode is much faster paced.

Pesky Vikings interrupt the banter between the monk and the doctor.

The problem with watching Time Meddler, is it makes me want to take a break from skipping around and watch my Season 2 boxed set.

Episode 2 is a little slow, but let’s Steven show off a bit and establishes the Viking threat. Although the implied sexual assault is a little violent for ostensibly a kids show.

Time Meddler part 1

I had forgotten that this is the first story without Ian and Barbara, and introduced Steven as a new companion. Much of this first episode is convincing Steven they are in a time machine, requiring them to explore and figure out where they landed.

And of course a local monk is keeping watch on the strange new arrivals.

Evening, all.

Here we go: this is my #review of #TheWarlords: episode 4 of classic #Doctor story, #TheCrusade

I’m just not sure if it’ll be taken the wrong way …

Did I mention I’ve got The #SeasonTwo #Classic #DoctorWho box set? The one that sees #Susan, #CaroleAnnFord leave and be replaced by #Vicki, #MaureenOBrien.

My only complaint, so far … ?

Is that there’s no #BehindTheSofa #watchalong for #PlanetOfGiants

That’s a little disappointing, when you pay that sort of money.

I’m looking forward to watching the #Classic #DoctorWho #SeasonTwo box set.

It looks like they’s managed to get both #CaroleAnnFord and #MaureenOBrien for the #BehindTheSofa watchalongs.

Another Hartnell historical as we visit the Crusades.
