Well so far have watched 5 serials, most of them Baker, with only a McCoy serial (The Happiness Patrol).
Anyone else who watched City of Death finds the doctor to be a bit of a dick, condeming a whole race to extinction because they were "warlike and callous" ? How would he describe human kind then ?
Plus I'm sure they could blow up the ship without anyone inside.
As for the Baker stuff I've watched I'd rank it thusly:
_Genesis of the Daleks :_The most perfect, setting-wise and character-wise.
City of Death : The first episode got me hooked just because I had no idea what was going on. Still, it was hilariously absurd how a guy comes with a gun in plain sight into a bar, then two more guys with guns out come to that same bar and then those same guys come into that same bloody bar with guns out again all in one day…..and no one does the sensible thing and calls the police.
Also, I found it odd that we never realy got an explanation for the Jagaroth being born into human noble families like the Borgia. Does his spirit fraction just take over the body and gradualy physicaly alter it ?
Nightmare of Eden : This one was okay, but I found it odd how neither the doctor nor Romana realise that the captain is probably high as a kite when he shows the exact same symptons the drug is said to have. Also, I'm not the most drug savvy but why would anyone take a drug that just makes them apathetic ? I mean, aren't other types of experience usualy what is sought after and that is just the by-product ? Also love how the Doctor said "It's totaly dead" and literaly the next shot of it showed it breathing in what wasn't realy a close up, but what was a prety darn big giveaway.
Also not sure how the projection works. Does it just steal animals and create a copied environment, or does it create copies ? Because otherwise even if they got the bad guys they have a huge unmanned ship going through space at full throttle without anyone on it.
The Creature from the Pit : I, unlike others, won't harp on the creature looking like what it looks like. I preffer this sort of thing to Star Trek's aproach of "Give em a funny forehead" or Star Gate's alians'…..almost complete non-existence. But it's still sort of silly. First off, it has killer attack bushes. And no other creature of this sort, apparently. Also, the bandits are exceptionaly useless, and I love how they only take note of the "tons of metal" part of the conversation and not the "we're all gonna die" part, even though they've been shown to hear all of it. Also, not an experts on metals either, but wouldn't metal sort of rust in a dense, moist jungle environment, so it's probably not a good idea to just have it out in the open ?
And what exactly prevents people from using stone axes to cut down trees ?
