also been reading the manga which has some amazing panel composition and shading. RIP to Kazuki Takahashi, he was so talented.
(STORY 016) The Chase. kind of an insane serial. you get frankenstein's monster picking up and throwing a dalek across the room. i love this shit. actually one of my favourite first doctor serials ever. emotional farewell to the last of the original cast members besides Hartnell too. 5/5.
(STORY 015) The Space Museum. a fairly fun serial but one that feels paint-by-numbers for the most part. still, has that fun bit where one pops his head out of the dalek. 3/5.
(STORY 012) The Web Planet. Way, way too long for the 'story' they're trying to tell here but the bug costumes are hilarious so it's still worth a watch. 2/5.
(STORY 011) The Romans. Definitely the best Doctor Who episode up to this point. Hilarious stuff, feels like something more out of a classic British comedy than Doctor Who but it really works. Just a fun time. 5/5.
(STORY 010) The Rescue. Great little story, only two parts long which means it flies by and Vicki is a fantastic addition to the cast. 4/5.
(STORY 009) The Dalek Invasion of Earth. probably the first serial where the Daleks properly become what we know them as. Great stuff, lots of great shots of the Daleks roaming London, some properly disturbing imagery involving their human slaves, and a properly devastating departure. 5/5.
(STORY 008) Planet of the Giants. Honey, I shrunk the Doctor! i do honestly find this one to be pretty fun in the vein of various other cheesy 60s Sci-Fi but it's not very good. 2.5/5
it is indeed the anniversary of when one of the most evil people to ever live died
i'm always thinking of this tweet, it's always in the back of my mind somewhere
