65. The Myth Makers – Obverse Books

I'm still not onboard with this relationship either. To abandon her entire life, to live without electricity and sanitation with a jealous/possessive man she met 24 hours earlier is straining credulity to say the least. #DoctorWho #MythMakers
Through this watch along I've come to really like Vicki. She deserved a much better exit than this. The Doctor/Vicki goodbye taking place off screen is unforgiveable. Given his reaction to Ian/Barbara leaving the Doctor would not have let her go so easily #DoctorWho #MythMakers
Episodes 1 - 3 do have fighting and killing but they also have quite a light tone. This becomes brutal fast. The Greeks leave the horse and a massacre the Trojans. The city is sacked and almost everyone is killed. #DoctorWho #MythMakers
As companion introductions go this has to be one of the oddest (I suppose on par with Dodo). Katarina just turns up in episode 4 and is a companion without any fanfare or comment. Could you imagine this happening in the series today? #DoctorWho #MythMakers 250
That episode is so much more fun that I remembered it being. For anyone turned off by the very limited visuals I would say to give it a go. Plus it is the first (and probably only) Doctor Who story to use the word orgy and I won't spoil the context #DoctorWho #Mythmakers 231
Theres no way that the actor playing Troilus is 16. This story is full of good parings, Paris/Cassandra, The Doctor/Odysseus, Steven/Vicki. It's just a shame that the Vicki/Troilus paring isnt working. He comes across to me at least as whinny and unlikeable #DoctorWho #Mythmakers
CASSANDRA: "Will you not? Then woe to the House of Priam. Woe to the Trojans" PARIS: "I'm afraid you're a bit late to say 'whoa' to the horse. I've just given instructions to have it brought into the city" I absolutely love the Paris/Cassandra dynamic #DoctorWho #MythMakers 231
The scenes in Troy with Vicki, Priam, Paris and Cassandra are genuinely funny but the stuff with the Doctor on the Greek side isn't really working for me. I feel like I should like this more than I do as there are some really good elements #DoctorWho #MythMakers 228
How have I never realised that Agamemnon is Barbara’s would be rapist from Keys of Marinus? #DoctorWho #MythMakers 228
