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.)

Well, but he was either pretending he was a crazy rogue Timelord, or he *was* being a crazy rogue Timelord.

a giant fuck-off WMD Of Rassilon

I love this phrase. Also, speaking of crazy Timelords... do we ever see more of Rassilon? He's like the mad scientist who left all sorts of chaos-inducing crap around, and is remembered reverently now that he's more-or-less deaddeaddead, at least outside of the Matrix.

I did like Andred. I also was very very fond of Borusa in this episode, no matter what they did with him later on.
