I ordered a book the other day. I knew I had volume 1, so I decided to continue my collection and pick up volume 2. Once it got here, while trying to find my copy of volume 1, I of course find a copy of volume 2 I already had. 😅

Volume 1 is still MIA.

Oh well, nothing wrong with supporting indie trans Doctor Who essayists.

Been rewatching Mawdryn Undead. I had forgotten that it was Turlough’s first story. Has there ever been another companion who started out as an assassin trying to kill the Doctor.

I like this episode, even though I don’t like the Black Guardian or Mawdryn, but I love that it’s actually a time travel story, particularly the (retired) Brigadier’s story.

I forgot that Zoe comes from a space station in the distant future, the year 2000.

Have you been following the adventures of Karkus?

From the Mind Robber, Doctor Who.

I didn’t realize quite how many Classic Doctor Who stories the BBC has put on YouTube. Here’s the Patrick Troughton playlist. Not quite half of what there could be, but still, it’s something. I’ve been wanting to rewatch the Mind Robbers, one of my favorites. Probably because it’s one of the more experimental there stories.

I realized that when I first watched Classic Doctor Who from beginning to end, there were only 6 complete 2nd Doctor stories to watch. In the ~20 years since, between animated reconstructions and recovered footage, there are now 12 more complete watchable stories. That’s kinda incredible.
