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...

I'm so onto Moffat and his secret masterplan to take over as showrunner and end the series with canon Doctor/Master. A Nine who dresses all in black and gets romantically involved with his companion? A Ten who's rude and licks things? Hmmm...

(This one should have been entitled 'Hugh Grant; a far better Doctor than you'd ever expect' or 'Lumley is the only true canon')

Hugh Grant; a far better Doctor than you'd ever expect

LOL yes!! Though the same could also be said for Rowan Atkinson--I thought he was perfect. Never noticed the parallels between Nine and Ten--eek! Still, laughed myself absolutely silly the first time I watched it, and was thrilled to discover that it is just as funny on repeated viewings.

Moffat is God.

It confirms what we all knew--the Master not-so-secretly loves the Doctor.

"You're the camp one!" "I'm not camp!" "Oh yeah? Nice tits." "...BUMPS!"

"They're also extremely firm."

"The beard and the bosoms over there."

"Cute, sexy, and lick-the-mirror handsome!"

"...After a lifetime of only dung slugs for food... and the occasional company on those long, lonely nights."

"So what happened to them?" "They discovered fire."

"Say hello to the Sofa of Reasonable Comfort!"

"Daleks... don't have noses."

"Why do you have chairs on a Dalek spaceship anyway?"

"All the cruelty, all the suffering, all those endless gravel quarries."

"Your certain death is now... certain!"

"It will be the deadly vengeance of deadly revenge!"

"You are facing certain doob... certain doob?" "Try not to clench!"

"Look after the universe for me, I've put a lot of work into it."

"You can't die, you're too... you're too nice! Too brave, too kind and far, far too silly. You're like Father Christmas! The Wizard of Oz! Scooby Doo!"

"Emma, look, I've got etheric beam locators!" "No, Doctor, I'm afraid those are actual breasts." "Are you sure? I think I can see the 'on' switch!"

"Tell me, why do they call you 'the Master'?" "...I'll explain later."

I really, really, really love Curse of Fatal Death. Really love it.

And dude, CANON DOCTOR/MASTER.
