Coming up on halfway done! This recap brought to you by the spanking received by the Braves tonight versus the Dodgers. Also, I took screenshots! But they all broke!

Classic Dr Who: Key to Time episode 6 (part 2)

part 2

Heyyyy I’m back. It’s been awhile but in the time I’ve been gone I moved across the country, got a job, learned to play an instrument, and got shitfaced drunk more times than I can remember. So what have YOU done lately? yeah that’s what I thought. I’m finishing Key to Time because the entire cast of Torchwood is annoying me.

So the whole “TARDIS is gone” thing was kind of a fakeout – it’s just buried under the section of ceiling that fell down. I’m sure you’ve been waiting on tenterhooks for six months waiting to find that out, so breathe a sigh of relief. Hi, time tunnel! I’ve missed you! Four and Romana exchange some panicked what-do-we-do dialogue and the doctor-lowercase-d comes rushing down the hall. Four jumps on him, grabs his throat and goes “RRaaauuughhhh!” then realizes who it is and lets him go. Um. Moving right along. Merak! That’s the guy’s name. After six months one tends to forget the random jumbles of consonants the writers use to name their characters.

The Armageddon Factor

Okay, the very last episode of the Key to Time and holy cow, it’s a six-parter. Here goes nothing.

Part 1

The episode so big it requires two writers, Bob Baker and Dave Martin. We start off innocently enough, since Four seems to be watching his afternoon soaps. Amazingly cheesy piano music plays as a young couple in shiny shiny plastic clothes hold each other on a balcony and she begs him not to go. He tells her that he loves her, but that he has a greater love – for young men. No wait, that young men are dying for. Captain Jack? Oh, there’s a war on. Whatever.

episode 4 – androids of tara

part 1
Key to Time makes its triumphant return! Written by David Fisher! Played on my computer on my crappy DVD player, so bear with me! We zoom in on the TARDIS console doing its rather naughty thing, then pan down to where Four and K9 are playing chess on the floor. Four has one end of his scarf draped over K9’s neck. Dawww.

As far as serialized episodes go, this one’s been pretty action-y. Maybe because the plot is relatively straightforward, so there’s not so much expositing going on as in the other episodes.

The Power of Kroll

part 1

So I’ve never seen this one before, but evidently it involves a race of green folks called Swampies who are enslaved by some other folks. That’s all I get from the netflix packaging, so let’s just go directly to the video, shall we.

The Stones of Blood

Part 1

So this is the last episode that I’ll have already seen prior to recapping, third of the six total episodes. It’s a kind of cute, weird story about British standing stones running around and eating people, then it gets really weird at the end and has nothing to do with any of those things. Also, more hooded conspiracies, this time involving proper human sacrifices! Yay!
