I heavily recommend the animation!

He’s so cute!

Oh, happy 58th birthday to the best “monsters” (misunderstood heroes) the show has ever seen!

Will write more as we rewatch the season this week

Tenth Planet: Just the perfection of Hartnell’s era, first 10/10 story in the show. All I’ll say is just please whatever you do, don’t listen to @jonarnold.bsky.social’s propaganda where he tries to claim it’s one of the worst Hartnells, he’s just had a few too many drinks and never paid attention.

Going to start with the war machines for now, but blimey this is an almost perfect story. Frankly, the only flaw I can think of with this is Dodo’s exit, which makes RTD2 companion exits look like the best thing written on television. *WOTAN voice* Passing this through is required!

Quite a few good stories here (that opinion may change as someone rewatches in prep for this), aside smugglers and savages this is probably his best set of stories!

Wasn’t expecting this today! Although I’ve had insider information that most of mine have decent numbers anyway and that’s the only reason I’m invited back!! Thanks all for listening!

(Obviously he’s talking about third place being the best one)

See you there! (Unless I happen to have the same luck as last time where I miss a load of people for most of it)

well I suppose the profile picture says it all

Tenth Planet, War Machines being a very close second!

well, as long as you exclude a majority of twitter/all the people who claim to love the show but say it’s gone woke, yes it is!

(To clarify, this does not mean I dislike this!! Least favourite 7 story is still a high bar.)

oddly enough this is my least favourite 7 episode, just never understood what’s so good about it other than the atmosphere

weird way to spell the pirate planet

Overall a bloody amazing season! The variety of locations and characters between each story makes this season consistently refreshing and one of the most enjoyable and amazing runs of Doctor Who there’s ever been.

Believe it or not, Armageddon factor is my other 10/10 in the season. Epic conclusion to the season long arc, the shadow is honestly creepy and I won’t hear otherwise, and it genuinely feels like there’s stakes at all times. It’s the finale New Who show runners wish they could do.

Power of Kroll is awesome. Cults out to kill you, base under siege, giant squid, John Leeson finally appearing in person, what’s not to love? (and don’t you dare say all of it)

One of my favourite lines I’ve seen in relation to this story: “Great Kroll, Mighty Kroll, Badass Mofo Kroll!”

Androids of Tara is good but since it’s my fathers favourite bin it right this second!!

On another note, it is pretty good! Mary Tamm shines in her *4* roles as Romana, the princess and their android counterparts, K9 is funny as hell, and Doctor Who promotes spiking drinks to young children!

(for the record I don’t hate part four but I think it gets weaker in the trial scenes)

Stones of Blood - First off, how the hell did they get away with the skeleton hand? Secondly, the Ogri are amazingly terrifying creatures, they even beat K-9! (those bastards) Thirdly, I love the main setting. You could say this is reminiscent of a Hinchcliffe story, amazing and creepy until part 4.

Pirate Planet is my 3rd favourite Who story of all, Douglas Adams peaks here with scripts and it only goes downhill for him from here (cough cough City of Death). The captain is excellent, the concept of a planet mining planet is awesome, main cast shines, what’s not to love?

Ribos Operation was one I didn’t get along with too well on first watch, but having rewatched it since it’s really climbed the ranks! Won’t mention all the typical cast is great blabber, but let’s just say binning this would mean you mess with the Graff Vynda-K *cliffhanger noises*

Frankly if it weren’t for bias given to me from @jonarnold.bsky.social that makes me have S25 as my favourite, this would be my top season in the show. I don’t think any story is below a 9/10 in this season, and also one of my only seasons to score not just 1, but 2 10/10s! (which’ll be seen later)

😳

Frankly just play me any version of the who theme and I’ll be hyped up

they*

and if I said I liked them all equally and they’re can all be my favourites depending on the day?

anyone daring to suggest it’s a disappointment will personally find out from me what happens if you fail any of the puzzles on mars
