I think I could say that about most Second Doctor serials. Just seeing him, hearing Troughton's voice, makes me misty eyed.

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.)
