I watched the Four and Leela story Invasion of Time tonight. Brilliant stuff, but one bit in particular stood out:


In episode 6, during the chase through the TARDIS, a Sontaran fires its weapon in the sickbay, hitting Andred, who's around a corner. It hurts his arm but... he doesn't die! He doesn't regenerate! Do you know what this means? Ross could have survived the Sontaran shot too! ROSS LIVES!

My denial, let me show you it.

(Also, given Ten's repeated harping on about guns in that episde, it's amusing to see Four first hold a gun to Borusa's head and tell him in deadly seriousness that he'll kill him before he sees Gallifrey fall to the Sontarans, and then use a demat gun - a giant fuck-off WMD Of Rassilon - on a couple of Sontarans.)

Your denial, I accept it. ;)

Four'n'Leeeela, I wish I had some new ones of theirs to still see. Rewatching's no good when you still have sixty-odd episodes to go. :(

This one was totally different on rewatching; Andred was rather brilliant, whereas first time around I didn't even realise he was in it till episode 6. And I'm massively crushing on Leela, who's an amazing companion and I want to rewatch everything of hers right now sleep is for tortoises

Hah, when I watched that one the first time I was specifically looking for Andred, cos I'd heard the first two seasons of the Gallifrey audios and was going to write Leela/Andred fic, and thought I should see his telly version. So I was trying really hard to like him from the get-go. ;)

Leela is amaaaazing. Sleep is for when you're dead, dude, for when you're dead.

I know the Leela/Andred romance as such is a bit pastede on, but Andred is really rather adorable on his own. He might grab the situation by completely the wrong end, but he does grab it good. And he conspires against the Lord High President and stuff, which does take balls, especially as the Doctor is genuinely scary in bits.

Do not on any account omit "Horror of Fang Rock". Leela pwns. (And there are Rutans!)
