Doctor Who Rewatch - Terror of the Zygons

Wow - how behind did I get? I have a HUGE private post of notes and randomness (make that three- I'll explain later*) that I never got around to organizing and posting. I'm blaming RL. It has a lot to answer for.




Four - Terror of the Zygons -

I sorta remembered this from my childhood. It had some good moments, but story wise it was just okay.

Live bloggy-ness

Part 1:

LOL the clothes swapping. Four shows up in a beret, Sarah wearing his fedora and Harry wearing his scarf, all acting like "this is perfectly normal what are you talking about". Then they casually swap while talking to the Brigadier. Best part of story no need to go on.

Part 2:

Oooh mystical Timelordliness. Four puts Sarah and self(?) into a trance to survive oxygen deprivation


Part 3:

Aha - The Lock Ness Monster as name-dropped in School Reunion.

Part 4:

Four electrocutes himself. Alrighty then.



The Stats:

Four unconscious x1.5
1) trance
2) electrocuted

Bonus:
Nessy caller device sealed to his hand

Part 1

Sarah realizing first how they can escape - haha, nice.

Part 2:

The monster really makes Sarah sick- literally.

Wow - these guys are very bad shots

Sarah: It's so dark!
Four: Just hang on!
Sarah [hangs on to scarf until she pulls him up short like a leash and he has to stop]: What's the matter?
Four [mutters]: Nothing.

Does that Drone have the Eye of Sauron?

Four leaves scarf behind, who knew he wore an ascot thing underneath?

Four knows exactly what Sarah's going to say, adorable.


Part 3:

How does Sarah manage to barrel through the "forest" with platform shoes?

Word to the wise - playing with antimatter is bad for your health.

Sarah screams so Four resorts to punching out his guard to get to her. Awwww

The Live blog. (It's not much, I was too busy watching to commentate.)


Part 1) Four proves he can be melancholy and angst with the best of them. Sarah is adorable in trying to cheer him up.

Four showing Sarah what happens to the future if they don't stop Sutek is clearly what inspired new who's direction.
