whole lotta who
so, between Media Pley's going out of business sales and Christmas, I've got about 18 stories (about 72 episodes) of "classic" Doctor Who. it's been fun to watch again, and made me realize how much it changed over the years.
Doctor #7: i know more than you do. you're all so ignorant.
Doctor #5: the young, kind of studly one.
Doctor #4: the witty, all-knowing one who won't insult you if you dont understand.
Doctor #3: the scientific advisor who kicks the bad guy's butt but looks good doing it (the dandy)
Doctor #2: the scientific advisor who can't think without his recorder (the clown)
Doctor #1: the crotchety old better-than-you
i like them all, generally speaking, but the stories of 1-5 seem much more ... written for tv than #7, whose adventures seem much more like they'd be suited for either a book or a documentary.
now if we could just get a copy of #9 and the Christmas Invasion.
