The highlanders was pretty good!

It's definitely one of the stories that I wish hadn't been destroyed, because even though it's a historical story, it's quite entertaining.

Next: The Underwater Menace.

It took me a while to track down a copy of Episode 2, which was thought to be destroyed until 2011.

Unfortunately, my source for all the other episodes seems to come from the mid 2000s, so it didn't include this episode

good meepy morpning!

So there's a section in this story where the doctor dresses up as an old woman to get passed some guards. Should I make a note of this in my reccomendation, or should I just ignore it?

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.

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

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: https://averylychee.neocities.org/doctor-who/#doctor2

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.

good meeping~

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!"

me: I'm not going to turn this into a todo list
me, 2 seconds later: *accidentally turns it into a todo list*
