1) I'm so weird about old Who. I love 1-3 and Four's era through Leela, but the Romana era lacks a lot of lustre for me. (Kinda feels like they're putting on shows for themselves in their living room, and unengaging ones at that.) And then -- god knows, it has its problems -- I somehow love Five's era. 6-7 I haven't seen much of, but it seems to lack whatever it was that made Five transcend the eighties-ness.

2) It's really unfair. I see people spewing disproportionately vicious things about someone who's just a sometimes YES, very ass-y kid, but he was helpful and (I thought) kinda funny and definitely not near so bad as to merit such disturbingly hateful remarks.

3) I can't decide. I love them all so very hard. <3

4) Possibly Mission to the Unknown would've kept me interested if it hadn't been burninated. I watched it 'cause it was short and there. It had a promising story but NO DOCTOR OMG. I liked the thorn thing.

Me too! And it's wierd, because it's Romana, dammit, I like Romana, but...I don't know. Maybe I'm just a Robert Holmes-loving heathen and too ashamed to admit it. :D

2) The disproportionality is what gets to me - I could understand people not liking him, but the sheer intensity of the hate he gets scares me sometimes, and I'm all the way on the other side of the screen.

4) I'm just intrigued by the fact that there was a Doctor-less episode almost fourty years before "Love and Monsters" came along. It was such a bold risk for a program that was already taking a lot of them, and I think it's really a sign that the 'verse was solid even back then and could hold up on its own. Also, I'm a sucker for creepy transformative body horror, particularly when done low-budget (see: unnatural love for The Ark in Space).

<3333 Ark in Space omg. One of my earliest Whos! And I just thought it was fun writing and the Wirrn were interesting and even the bubble wrap half-eating Noah's body was freaky.

One of my earliest too! In fact, I'm pretty sure it was my second Tom Baker story (first one was The Power of Kroll on public TV at two in the morning).

And I love and was freaked out by the bubblewrap and I am NOT ASHAMED OF THAT. So long as they don't zoom in too close it doesn't look like bubblewrap to me anyway.
