holy frick that was way more intense than I expected it to be

The author of this story (Terry Nation) is one of the good authors.

But they also don't seem to know what the solar system is... they put a bunch of extra planets into it???

ah, we're up to the part where the author switched, because this story was so long they needed to get Dennis Spooner to write the second half

oh, I thought so!

one of the actors in the first part came back a few years later to play Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, one of the most famous characters from the classic series

I'm watching the christmas episode now...

what utter garbage

so much yelling...

hmm.... assuming the rest of The Dalek's Master Plan is good, I'm going to have to do a partial recommendation for this one..

as an aside: someone suggested that editing down the episodes would make people more likely to watch them. I'm sure that's true, but it's also a lot of work...

I'm starting to regret saying "maybe" for The Time Meddler - it's not a very exciting story, but it is very memorable.

*realises that the villain in this story is wearing dark makeup and some fake folds to make him look south east asian*

hmm....

looks like I really do need to add a content warnings section

episode 11 of The Dalek's Master Plan is interesting - the doctor goes missing right at the start, and isn't seen for the rest of the episode

I've updated the site to have a bunch of extra navigation buttons, which aren't super useful right now, but will be very useful when there are 38 seasons on the page

here's the link again, in case you want to see:

(I also rewrote the introduction a bit)

The War Machines is even better than I remembered it being.

(Although it is a bit weird that they write out Dodo, one of the Doctors companions, by hypnotising her and then just saying "she went to the country")

The first story of season 4 is so awful that it took me a week to build up the energy to watch it.

It's hard to even explain how it's bad, it's just... boring and predictable and nothing happens, and it has the same problem that almost all of the historical stories do: there's no energy. No-one seems to care all that much.

And it's made even worse by being a reconstruction, so you've only got stills of the actor's faces.

I'm so proud of myself for adding the navigation buttons to the webpage, tbh... it makes it a lot nicer, and I did a surprisingly good job designing them

@lizardsquid just for clarification because I've been confused for a while: are you talking about the 2000s season 3 or the 1960s season 3?

@boobs_idiot 1960s

@lizardsquid ahhh ok, thanks <3

@boobs_idiot a couple of people have been confused, so maybe I should make it more clear, somehow?

@lizardsquid you’re watching the long Dalek one
This is the first time Doctor Who really got dark

PS the actress playing the woman who kills him comes back in the 80s and has a symbolically relevant Tense Moment with the Brigadier

@DialMforMara oh neat!

@lizardsquid Funny story. This is the only Christmas special of Classic Who, and it was made because producers didn’t want people who didn’t watch on Christmas missing story, and didn’t want people who *did* watch having nothing to watch. So they compromised on meaningless mayhem, and Steven looking real good in a police uniform.
