I've run memes like this before for companions and for ships (and I'm trying to dig up links to those) and decided it might be fun to try one for all the episodes of old school Doctor Who. In the comments are threads for every story from An Unearthly Child to The TV Movie (actually, The Curse of Fatal Death, because I couldn't leave Lumley Doc out); reply to these comments with what you loved about the episode, whether it's favourite lines, moments, squee for the rubbish dinosaurs, character love, shippiness, screencap picspam, or just 'best episode ever'. No harshing others' squee, please - there are 160 serials linked, there must be some you loved... Loving on stories generally derided by fandom is positively encouraged.

For some help navigating, this wiki page has the serials in order.

If any have been missed, feel free to stick them on at the end - I've just realised The Myth Makers isn't there...

Kroll! Kroll! Kroll!

Not nearly enough Doctor Who episodes have super-colossal squid monsters for my liking.

This might just be the best Classic Who story ever. It's in Paris, it's got Julian Glover as the bad guy in a very sketchy green-jello mask, a PI who can't stop slugging people, prehistoric Earth, the explanation for the development of human life, and seven Mona Lisas! With a visit to Leonardo Da Vinci (sort of)! And John Cleese at the end! I love it unabashedly and believe everyone else should, too! :)

This serial is special to me for two reasons -
1.) Being the first serial for Tegan, who I love dearly and identify with somewhat more strongly than is healthy and
2.) For being the serial which finally persuaded my best friend that Slash is not always in my mind. The glorious moment with the Doctor and the Master grappling on the catwalk of the radio telescope where they really really look like they're snogging (I looked for a screenshot but was thwarted in my plans) finally broke her and opened her eyes to the wonderful world of slash.

Ok, so they're really shallow reasons, but shhhh! It's also a great serial, and the collaboration, however short lived, between the Doctor and the Master really helps highlight that they had once been friends.

I know a lot of people think this one is lame, but I absolutely adore it. I love Five, and I love how he's so befuddled at first--the way he goes through his previous incarnations' personalities is wonderful--and the puzzle at the center of Castrovalva. And hey, this story introduced me to M.C. Escher, so I will always be grateful to it for that.

The scene where Tegan gets possessed (after getting leered at by a white clown figure in a horribly washed-out world) still creeps me out a bit.

I've always liked this one better than Kinda. I like the way the Doctor gets the archaeologist's goat with the five-headed hat (okay, that sounds strange, but you know what I mean), and I love Tegan being taken over and completely breaking down at the end. I am also quite amused at Martin Clunes being in the cast :) (Also? I want one of those little blue crystals!)
