Migraines suck, ya'll. Continuing with my rewatch notes:
Four and Leela
The Horror of Fang Rock
Considered one of the must sees, and yes it's pretty well done. Good story, decent suspense, pretty much what you want from a Doctor Who ep. Four and Leela are almost pals in this one. And wow is the body count high here.
One side note/complaint- how did I not remember that the Rutans are glowing green goo jelly fish things? Ummm. Just bonkers. Even though they still talk about the Sontaran/Rutan war it's no wonder why only the Sontarans are seen these days.
The stats:
Did I mention the crazy high body count?
Four and Leela are the only ones without trauma in this story. (Unless you count finding all those dead people).
The Invisible Enemy
There is a definite Space 1999 vibe about these guys' space ship.
Lots of models used in the one, cute.
Leela using Four's scarf like a cuddle toy. Cute
Evil attack clouds. Not cute but A+ big bad.
Part 2
Four goes in to trance/coma to fight possession. Argues with the voice in his head. Leela flies TARDIS to take Four to hospital.
K9! I did not know that was coming. Built by a doctor at the house because he wanted a dog, makes sense.
The possession is catching. Not looking good for this Hospital.
Part 3
And now we are channeling Fantastic Voyage, and that one Gamera movie, and foreshadowing (or is that inspiring) Into the Dalek.
Leela's starting to bring out the Time Lord in Four. He's very rude and pompous.
Part 4
And I have no idea what's going on in this part. I think they just made a giant virus. Lol.
Best line -- "I only hope [K9]'s TARDIS trained."
The Stats
The Doctor:
1) Four zapped by evil cloud, knocked out possessed.
Companion Trauma:
None noted. I guess Leela's too armed and dangerous.
