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...

McGann was such a joyful Doctor. It's a shame that he didn't have more to do. Then again, the Americanization of DW was so very lame. Killer companions, Slime!Master, and the most unDalek-like Daleks ever.

Was there even a reason for the Daleks? I mean, come on, who's going to let them run a court?? Of all the places to try the Master, we pick Skaro? Why not come up with a sane race to run the proceedings? I'm just glad that bit's all dispensed with in the first three minutes so we don't have to think about it again for the rest of the movie, because it makes even less sense than the whole going-back-to-midnight-the-night-before thing at the end. (Though my TVM philosophy is basically "Turn off your brain and enjoy the pretty," so I guess it doesn't matter, does it?)
