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.)

Rodan in this serial does mention "the guards and the Time Lords" as if she and the guards aren't Time Lords; it's implied Andred's one, though, or has at least been through the Academy (the Doctor asks 'what are they teaching at the Academy these days?')
