I have in my greedy paws three shiny Doctor Who DVDs.

...I think it's safe to say at this point that I definitely have a new fandom, isn't it? (Not that my heart doesn't still belong first and foremost to the Buffyverse.) Coming into a fandom with, what, about 160 stories - not episodes, full arcs - and a bazillion books and short stories is a wee bit intimidating, though I am remembering that I caught up on six seasons of Buffy and three of Angel in two months.

I got Spearhead from Space (because it has the Autons and UNIT), Ghost Light (because I haven't seen any 7th Doctor yet and I like the cover - lo, I am predictable in my shallowness), and The Three Doctors (it has a Blue Peter featurette and I'm hoping to find out how to make a Tardis cake for my Dalek cakes to exterminate).

For some reason, even though the First Doctor's my least favourite of them so far, those are the episodes I really want to see more of; I think it's because I love seeing the stuff that was done back in the 60s, presumably on a micro-budget. I love the naffness, but there are bits that make me go 'oooh' - there's a particular shot in Dalek Invasion of Earth that I need to screencap because it's gorgeous. I've read a synopsis of one where they're on a planet of giants and I'm dying to see how that was done.

Also, Ian and Barbara were shagging like weasels in the back of the Tardis.

ETA: Jack Davenport talks about PoTC2 *Norrington squee*

Zomg, Spearhead From Space is like a if you put 'Rose' and 'Aliens of London' in a blender with some money and then put in Naked Pertwee just to hurt people.

BUT THE BRIG! OMG!

I've watched the first two - OMG THE BRIG! Whhhy wasn't there a spinoff with the Brig and UNIT and Liz the snarky science lady?

I really love this Doctor, although not when he is naked.

Brig/Doctor/Liz OT3 OMG.

Also the doll factory scared the crap out of me and I am 22. I do not understand how children watched this and weren't psychologically damaged.

Three is Exceptionally Camp. I can't really handle his whole Working For The Man Thing though. *sads* And I think the Brig should be considered the main character, with his Wacky Poncey Alien Sidekick as comic relief.

I actually thought the Brig was another Time Lord. Because he has a 'the' in his name.

I are not smart.

(Um, is there any Brig/Doctor slash?)

Maybe he was...
