oh so this was the inspiration for the lengthy, overdramatic goodbybe for Ten?

makes sense, actually

HECK YEAH RIP DOCTORWHO

TBH I still have no idea what the story of this serial was or what happened

This is probably a me problem, but

okay this looks fun!

suddenly in the mood for a Christie mystery

this was lovely <3

wooeeoo

new doctorwho new doctorwho

This is all very difficult to buy, really. Not silly or unpleasant, I don't think, just... awkward

Its also a bit weird to have the Doctor care about Adric after like a full season of forgetting he was there

At least there's the Master

wooeeoo
#TARDISclub

Yeah, I miss K9 :(

I suppose the point of this serial is to get the whole crew actually working together?

But it all feels... off.

Tegan feels specially off. She's just met these aliens on her way to work, and lost her aunt, and it seems like none of it matters??

That box couldn't have been emptier, lmao

I don't really have anything to say about this

Uh, at least there were no guns involved??

Alright, starting out with a nice spaceship, 10/10

Someone remembered to freak out, amazing

Remember when the TARDIS just translated everything

Wait, did the producers decide to go back to Hartnell era educational stuff??

"This is Enlightenment, and I am Persuasion"

punchable face tbh

wooeeoo~

IF TEGAN COULD SPEAK TO THE ABORIGINAL MAN THEN HE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN TAKEN AWAY LONGER THAN A FEW CENTURIES AGO

sick and sad but I'm here

did Adric forget he's not from Earth

adric please shut up

htfgyugeani;ijeha;igeuodo

I officially dislike this serial

Ultimately, a waste of ideas, tbh.

uh RIP Nyssa? okay then

wooeeoo~

Starting with a dead body, are we

Undead body

Funny that the TARDIS can provide the Doctor with new clothes, but everyone else is just running around in the same filthy outfit for like a week now?

Or is there a laundry room?

/sighs Adric stop

No other signs of civilization

doctorwho has never been to a park

Adric has devolved into a big toddler

And now we get some good old 1970s scifi, for kids. Okay.

what

Glad I'm not watching this at night, I would get nightmares

uh what

I don't understand why they need that personal tank to walk around this planet?

Tegan is clearly busy in a completely different story

I have absolutely no idea what's supposed to be happening in this serial

adric why

Had to go read a synopsis etc, and I must say it feels like one of those stories that work much better in prose than on children's TV.

Maybe I should watch it again, without trying to keep up with the chat?

@B I'd be happy to upload the epub of the novelisation, or the audiobook thereof, if you'd like to approach it from an actual prose angle?

@Alexis oh yeah, I'd love that! the epub should be enough <3

@B In the folder now, enjoy! o7 (The first six chapters cover the first two episodes.)

@Alexis got it, thanks! <3

wooeeoo and all that

had to solve some technical difficulties first, because of course

Now that I think about it, this is all very 1960s coded science fiction, isn't it

You know, this would've probably worked better without the colonizers plot? It's the one plot too many.

Oh so we have good possession and bad possession?

Oh yeah, Tegan exists

you *are* useless, Adric

I do pity Hindle, he's completely gone

An entire serial to tell people pranks are actually bullying, don't do it to people already overwhelmed

Truly ahead of its time

Barely awake, but here

already sad I'm not watching this on TV at night

sudden hound of baskervilles????

sudden MURDERBOT?

send Adric to military school already

european handle

@B He was at his worst this serial.

@kurt He was! >.<
