stunt_muppet at 05:58pm on 30/08/2008 under doctor who, homework-fleeing ten-minute lj break, memes, randomnessSo there's this quiz that tests how many Classic Who serials per Doctor you can name in five minutes. Yes, it's an old link, but I didn't feel like doing it back then, and I'm actively looking for things with which to procrastinate now.
My results:
One: All but three - I forgot The Reign of Terror (for shame!), The Space Museum, and The Time Meddler. And yet, I remembered serials like Galaxy 4 and Mission to the Unknown. My priorities, they are in the entirely wrong place.
Two: All of 'em, and under time! I can almost name them in order, too, but Victoria's era throws me because I keep forgetting what order the burninated ones are in.
Three: All of them, with three minutes to go. To no one's surprise.
Four: All of them except The Talons of Weng-Chiang and The Stones of Blood. Why do I remember the bad/obscure ones so much easier? I mean, remembering Meglos and Underworld in lieu of Stones and Talons? Bzuh?
Five through Seven: All of them, substantially under time. Strangely, these are the eras I've seen the least of, and yet I can name every one of them. (Though I got stuck for a while in Five's era because I couldn't remember if he had Revelation of the Daleks or Resurrection of the Daleks. It would help if every Dalek story from Five's era onward wasn't "(Four-Syllable-Word-Starting-With-R) of the Daleks", is all I'm saying.)
ETA: Except "Remembrance" is actually three syllables. Whoops. My point stands, however.
Conclusions drawn: I’ve either watched that BabelColor "Every Episode" video way too many times, or I just have this habit of packing trivia like the titles of episodes I haven’t even seen into my head even though I’ve got no use for it.
