I got my photos developed! Have got the day off work and am assuaging the post-holiday blues with baking (I'm hosting Stitch and Witch tomorrow; also I like baking) and Doctor Who. Since I got back I have watched The Mind of Evil, rewatched The Claws of Axos and seen part one of Colony in Space. I think I know now why everyone says this era is awesome: it is because it is, in fact, awesome. I am not all that keen on Three and though I like Jo I do not have the Mad Love for her that I have for many other companions, and yet mix them together with UNIT and Delgado!Master and suddenly it is all sparkly winningness.
- I only had one icon space left and had to give it to Delgado, he is just fantastic. I'd heard how great he is, of course, and seen the odd story, but he's just electric in every scene he's in. Wonderful.
- Jo is so sweet and sunny, and also she gets to beat people up sometimes. I approve. Also I like it when the Doctor claims the Axon duplicates would take too long to explain, and she manages it in three words.
- The Doctor's on first name terms with Mao? ...huh. I am pleased the Doctor is both respectful of and clearly au fait with Chinese culture, at least. And there is no yellowface. And I do like Chin Lee, it's a shame she only got to be mind controlled and a bit evil before disappearing from the story altogether.
- Undercover Brig! Brilliant.
- Awww, Benton wants to go and rescue Yates despite having an actual concussion. I ship them a bit, yes.
- "What happened?"
"...Quite a lot."
- I love that Jo completely accepts the Doctor's stories about meeting Sir Walter Raleigh without even batting an eyelid. Seems a bit weird that she doesn't believe him in Colony in Space, though, unless she was just humouring him here.
- HEEEE the Master is so polite about asking to speak to the Doctor on the phone! He is so civilised, except for the whole killing people thing.
- "Doctor! Come back at once!" OK, slipping a bit into Comically Incompetent Brig, but it was still funny.
- Oh hurray, incredibly seventies colonists! :D
University Challenge is back! The UCL team contains a Library and Information Science student and correctly answered a question about xkcd. I think I know which team I'll be supporting. Er, assuming they come back as one of the highest scoring losers, since they lost their first round match. Oops.
