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.)

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.
