What’s not to like right? It is my favourite genre of fiction by a long way indeed.
Well I think I’m finally past the point that I’d seen any of these episodes before. Although things keep cropping up and I wonder if I’d seen that bit of the series or not. I think I’d actually seen a lot more of the series than I ever thought I had.
But a lot of the story is making sense now, and even though it really is a massive story arc it’s very good. I’m enjoying it.
I was amazed to find the original Doctor Who on Netflix, so I had to take a look as I think it’s been a very very long time since I saw the very first Doctor Who. It’s amazing to see it again, and especially to hear the music again and think of Delia Derbyshire’s work in making that real.
Actually, when you look at it the story’s very advanced for its time. Also, the inside of the original TARDIS was a lot bigger than in some of the iterations of the Doctor. Interesting stuff to watch.
I’ve now watched the first season the whole way through now and it made loads more sense then the first time I tried to watch it. Of course the first time I tried to watch Heroes it was moved all around the schedules so I kept missing episode and trying to catch up.
This time it makes sense, so far anyway, and I’ve started into the second series now to see what it’s like. I hope to stay with it through the whole thing, but that’s another 50 + episodes, so I guess I’ll just take it one step at a time.
I recently watched The Menagerie (Star Trek: The Original Series). I’m sure I’ve seen it before, but it’s great to see it again, an interesting way of using the original first pilot episode in the actual series. I know it’s old, but it’s a good story and it has some interesting ideas too.
I have to say I’m enjoying seeing these old episodes again.
I thought I’d give this a little look and see what it was like. I can remember watching the original series and it being amazing, so I thought I’d check if my memory was completely coloured by the 80’s. It was. V the mini-series is pretty bad by today’s standards. I’m sure that back in the 80’s we may have found it an amazing TV event, and it probably was, but by today’s standards it seems hard to comprehend.
I’m not entirely sure I can keep watching it really, but we’ll see.
This 8th Doctor story is ok. Not one of my favourites, but one of those that I just need to complete my collection. It isn’t a bad story, it’s an early one from India Fisher’s time as the companion Charlie.
I’ve heard it before, but I’ll probably give it another listen just to see what it’s like again.
Another new 8th Doctor story. One with Nicholas Courtney so it’s bound to be a good listen.
This is an excellent 8th Doctor Story, with Simon Pegg in it too. I haven’t heard it for a long time, but when I did I really enjoyed it, so I’m looking forward to hearing it again soon.
I really wanted to see Heroes, but when it was on the BBC it was always shifting around on the schedules, so I never got to see the whole thing. So, now it’s on Netflix I can see the whole thing, although I’m not sure that I’ll get to see it all in my free trial. We’ll see.
Another totally classic episode from the original series. I watched this one last night, and it was great! Interesting to see how some scenes have been remastered and enhanced, like the shots of the ship.
