Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 4] 

footnote: while not intended to be an educational story, one of the 5th doctor stories was set in the past and contained no sci-fi element.

And now: The Highlanders, which is also completely missing.

Fun Trivia: The Highlanders is the last* of the "historical" stories – the show was originally conceived as having a mixture of historical stories (to teach kids history) and sci fi stories. But the historical stories were hated by the production team, and rarely were as engaging as the sci-fi stories, so they were abandoned - all subsequent stories set in the past also contained a sci-fi element.

Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 4] | spoiler 

@BatElite except.... if you scroll down 1 line you see that we've moved on to the next doctor, so it's not that much of a spoiler

I'll rephrase that, though....

Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 4] 

I'm noticing that, in general, the stories that are completely missing are usually not worth watching at all

Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 4] 

nearly 2 weeks after starting, I finally got through The Power of the Daleks.

It's not a bad story, but it's just.... hard to watch something that's missing so much footage.

In my guide I gave it a maybe: averylychee.neocities.org/doct

because (while I haven't watched all of it) the animated version would be a really good watch

I really wish the footage for Power of the Daleks still existed... the reconstruction is really hard to watch.

I was planning on watching the animated version of this story afterwards, but I think I'm going to be too drained to watch this same story over again, so maybe I'll try watching it after a long break.

I'm thinking of starting a patreon, where every $5 you donate means I spend an hour working on making a program that you want to exist.

suicidal ideation, im safe, friend, details 

@lottie oh no ::(

@catoutofbed@octodon.social I'm... Missing a lot of context, where are you going that's so far away?

fallout, miscommunication 

I just remembered a scene from the beginning of fallout 3, where your best friend asks you how you slept.

One of the responses is "I dreamt about you", which I took in a friendly way, but apparently the developers were intending it to be something creepy, because if you say that she's like "what?? Eww, you creep!"
