scene: a gene therapy clinic in the distant future. i am consulting a doctor.
doctor: ah yes welcome to the future: of medicine! how can we help you
me: i need you to resequence my dna so i will stop saying "oop!" in a tiny voice every time i accidentally get in someone's way
doctor: that..... that isn't what we do here. that's a learned behavior
me: well what's the fucking POINT then
Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 5 → The Enemy of the World]
I watched that final scene several times over. It's.... so good...
Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 5 → The Enemy of the World]
holy gosh that was actually really good.
I was expecting to hate it, because I heard someone else say they were disappointed with it and didn't think it was that great.
But....??? I don't know why they thought that???
Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 5 → The Enemy of the World]
These episodes have some very weirdly timed cuts.... but they also have much better editing than usual for doctor who (there's almost no dead air)

Patrick Troughton is an incredible actor... Not only is he convincingly playing 2 different characters, he's also playing those characters imitating each other
Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 5 → The Enemy of the World]
Next up is The Enemy of the World.
I'm somewhat excited to see if this is any good, because this is a story that was found in 2013, *after* the last time I watched Doctor Who.
Also, it's set in 2018

Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 5 → The Ice Warriors]
It's been a week since I watched any Doctor Who, and tbh taking a break was a good idea, if unintentional.
I both love and hate The Ice Warriors. I love it because it's well done, but I hate it because it's constant moralising is grating.
I gave it a "maybe" in my recommendations: https://averylychee.neocities.org/doctor-who/#season-5

Since some people are talking about the “death of the URL” … again … it felt like the right time to re-post something I wrote 2 years ag on the topic https://medium.com/@torgo/in-defense-of-the-url-adbec59c7cf4 including a link to research that seems to indicate people DO know what URLs are.
