And thus, Pertwee's tenure as the Doctor is at a close...

I can never quite recall if the first Doctor Who story I saw was a first doctor story or a third doctor one, but in any case: Jon Pertwee's Doctor is one of my favourites.

I'm not crying, you're crying

these spiders are really great as villains.

Not only are they spiders, but they can also speak.

And they're psychic

2 episodes in and I'm really loving this one

I do like that psychic powers are an actual thing in the Doctor Who universe:

oh gods, another white actor doing a horribly racist accent, nooooo

I'm excited because I've heard good things, but nervous because the previous 2 stories in this season weren't very good at all...

Time to watch the final 3rd Doctor story, Planet of the Spiders.

I'm both excited and nervous

hi hi~

it's also annoying that they undid something cool:The Curse of Peladon makes a point of making the ice warriors seem to be villains, but turn out to be protagonists – a shock to an audience who had only ever seen them as villains.

But The Monster of Peladon just makes them villains again, and it's... boring.
