Old School Doctor Who Episodes Love Meme

[doyle]

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...

This is absolute crack, and I love it so very very much.

It's got plot holes the size of Belgium, the wrong guy playing One, Four completely missing (or almost), and often makes no sense whatsoever, but I do absolutely adore it beyond comprehension. Even the cheesy special effects (not a big fan of the "Special Edition" changes, which just don't look right to me--and why did they feel the need to change the harp tune and Rassilon's voice??). Love love love.

"I do not believe your lies!" Cybermen should play Rock, Paper, Scissors more often.

90 minutes of crack, fun, and the Plot Holes of Rassilon.

"I wear the coronet of Rassilon!"
"And very fetching it is, too!" Oh, Five.

Crack covered with crack and crack filling. So delicious. "You've redecorated in here, haven't you? Hmm. I don't like it." Love.

My first Classic story! I really don't care if it doesn't make any sense - it's so cracky and awesome that I love it anyway. Where would we get our Of Rassilon jokes without it?

Re: The Five Doctors

Oh, possibly from some other episode... Of Rassilon.

"Did it occur to you to go and look?" The scorn in that question effectively gets across something the Master and the Doctor have in common: not having any use for useless Time Lords.

"A universe without the Doctor scarcely bears imagining."

The Master playing hopscotch.

Oh, and Turlough's little pissy moment when he's asked to help make tea. Hee!

Re: The Five Doctors

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Turlough and Tegan apparently refusing to make tea on principle, because they appear to return with cocktails instead...

Re: The Five Doctors

Maybe they figured intoxication was the best way to tackle the rest of the plot!

I have painful amounts of love for all of those parts XD Oh, man, the SNARK in the Master's voice in that first one! That may well be my second-favourite Master line ever. (My favourite is the one below it ^_^)

Unhealthy. Levels. Of love.

"No. Not the Mind Probe!"

I loved the fact that the vision of Zoe seemed to be wearing bubble wrap.
