yet more random chatter
Aug. 28th, 2007 08:52 amFor Terra, and anybody else for whom the Fifth Doctor is creeping steadily upward in the ranking of regenerations. Personally, while I liked the Fifth Doctor himself very much, I found that his companions (Tegan and Turlow, in the one episode I've seen so far) made me want to chew upholstery.
The Fourth Doctor, on the other hand, just gets more and more adorable the more of him I see. We saw... "Resurrection of the Daleks" (the one with Davros) for the Fifth Doctor, and, I think it was called "The Ark of Space" for the Fourth. Sarah Jane is wonderful, and Harry is a very cute, stupid puppy so far. And the special effects, especially for "Ark of Space," were deliciously... creative. I have to admit, I would never have thought of using bubble-wrap as part of an actor's makeup appliance, but now? I'm totally adding it to my repertoire in case I ever need to make giant space-faring bug aliens that apparently walk on their butts.
You think I'm kidding about that last bit, don't you? I swear it's true. When we see their whole bodies, they only have six legs, up at the front of the abdomen... but they move around and menace people reared up, with all six legs waving around. They're standing and walking around... on their butts. XD
Anyway, I'm having a lot of fun with it. Anybody have recommendations of episodes that absolutely must not be missed? We're going through Scarecrow Video's collection, so there's no shortage of choices!
