The Invasion makes me fall in love with Doctor Who all over again, every single time I watch it. I mean that in an almost literal sense – to watch The Invasion is to feel the same tension and fascination and unbridled joy that I remember from back in 2005.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!! Although, I think I could say that about most Second Doctor serials. Just seeing him, hearing Troughton's voice, makes me misty eyed. I love him SO FUCKING MUCH. Every single time is like the first time. ::happy sigh::

Oh, and I really need to go home and watch Claws of Axos again. Like ASAP. Because I love me some Pertwee and he really is king of the polyamorous shippy subtext, isn't he? I was watching Planet of the Daleks last night, and as weak as that serial is, there is some brilliant 3/Jo stuff in there. His absolute delight at finding her alive is so well played. And then when she starts babbling excitedly at him about what's gone on since they got separated he just looks at her with SO MUCH LOVE and kinda drags her away from the others so she can adorably babble at him in private. I was all squeeful watching that.

They are SO CUTE in like every second of Planet omg. Listening to a recording of her voice OVER AND OVER when he thinks she's dead, bitterly commenting to a fellow prisoner about "what they took away from him" (THAT'S WHERE TEN GETS IT, YA KNOW), the thanking Wester bit...I mean, damn. No one is going to convince me Three/Jo weren't intentionally shippy. After Planet, they went on to get married abstractly speaking.

For all he complained about being old and grumpy...(why no, I'm not still a wee bit ticked that TPTB saw fit to take a dig at One and Three. NOT AT ALL.)

Abstractly nothin'. ;)

That line cracked me the hell up. Because omg One. XD I took it as good-natured self-deprecation. Because...dude, ONE. XDXDXD

It's such blatant proof of what they were trying to do I almost can't believe they did it.

Oh, me too. I've yet to see a Second Doctor story that hasn't made me incoherent with glee - even the brief clips of the burninated episodes make me feel warm and fuzzy inside, because even in small doses Patrick Troughton's still brilliant. The Invasion just makes me incoherent with glee for a really long time afterwards. :D

he really is king of the polyamorous shippy subtext, isn't he?

I think that's one of the reasons I love the Three era so much - Pertwee had chemistry with just about everyone. It's possible to pick out Doctor/Jo and Doctor/Master and Doctor/Brig hintings in the same episode sometimes, let alone the same serial. And that's even without considering Liz and Sarah and Benton and Yates...it does my omnishipping heart good, yes.

I'm still in the middle of Planet of the Daleks myself, but Frontier in Space completely blindsided me with the Three/Jo love. I mean, she started mocking his driving! And then he tells her stories while they're in prison! And, honestly, the way she leans over him after he gets out of the mind probe...gah.

(Why don't I have a Three/Jo icon, anyway? Fie on my lack of icon space, fie.)
