Classic Doctor Who :: Retrospective on the First Doctor 

Despite many mediocre stories, the first doctor is still one of my favourites. His charm, his wit, his lovely laugh (youtube.com/watch?v=NPlI1WpAwp)... and his indescribable anger at human suffering.

He's a grandfather, who cares deeply about the world and those around him. None of the other doctors have that grandfather-ness to them, and it's part of what made the first doctor so special.

Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 4] 

I'm watching "The Tenth Planet" (the last story starring the first doctor), and the doctor just... collapses unconcious for no reason at the start of episode 3

I find it remains one of the English language's worst shortcomings that "I empathize with you" and "I did something wrong and wish to apologize" both take the form of "I'm sorry".

"Werewolves? Bah. They have it easy."
"Turning into a wolf once a month is easy?"
"It's predictable, and wolves are beautiful. I'd swap at once."
"So what's your affliction?"
"Weresloth."
"No!"
"Weather turns warm, boom! I turn into a sloth. Can't do anything."
"I'm so sorry."

Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 4] 

Most of the titles of these stories start with "The"

In the first 4 seasons, there are 36 stories. Only 4 of them don't start with "The"

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

Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 4] 

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.
