I <b>have</b> seen <i>Dr. Who and the Daleks</i>, but I'm reserving commentary on the Peter Cushing Doctor until you get to <i>Daleks Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D.</i>.Mitchell Craignoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-73501136230195776532012-02-23T17:51:25.190-04:002012-02-23T17:51:25.190-04:00I wasn't fishing for compliments, but I do app...I wasn't fishing for compliments, but I do appreciate the fish.

But please don't mistake my silence for antipathy. Since I've seen very, very few of these episodes -- I didn't start watching WHO regulalry until Pertwee -- I've abstained from commenting because I feel I have nothing to add to the conversation. You keep reviewing, and I'll keep reading.Boosterrifichttp://www.boosterrific.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-87480784372967041992012-02-23T13:33:52.014-04:002012-02-23T13:33:52.014-04:00Probably.

The same thing happened with Star Trek when I hit TNG.<br /><br />Too soon to the exact math, but NOW is in about 2 years.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-13427686492304819842012-02-23T13:28:29.329-04:002012-02-23T13:28:29.329-04:00I wonder if people do what I do, which is comment ...I wonder if people do what I do, which is comment after they have watched an episode, which is often months behind and so the discussion has moved on...<br /><br />I do enjoy these greately as well, even though I've seen very few of the b&w episodes. I suspect that once you get to Pertwee and Baker, the comments sections will fill right up. If (and when) you get to the 9th Doctor, you'll probably be drowning in people shouting stuff. Just out of curiousity, do you know when you'll hit the new series? And when you'll hit <i>now</i> (ie, when you will have finished series 5), or will you not do episodes you have already reviewed?LiamKavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996095233681105682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-46659995087994679302012-02-23T09:32:26.510-04:002012-02-23T09:32:26.510-04:00Yeah, that's gonna be a fun one (read: it'...Yeah, that's gonna be a fun one (read: it's not, but writing the review might be).<br /><br />I agree with you that while I'm not a fan of Terry Nation (does it show?), at least he's writing a Dalek story. The Spooner episodes are basically a tacked-on remake of The Chase just to extend Dalekmania a few more weeks and completely irrelevant. It'll be nice to see the Monk and all, but it's not a good fit for the larger story.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-60925621231717050162012-02-23T09:24:55.054-04:002012-02-23T09:24:55.054-04:00After reading your comments yesterday, I realized ...After reading your comments yesterday, I realized I liked the first episode quite a bit even though I agree with all the faults you mentioned. I just couldn't figure out why. After today's post, I think it is because I saw episodes 2, 5 and 10 before I heard the audio of the missing episodes. The direction and actors' performances in those episodes must have colored my mental picture of the audio in such a way that it papered over the flaws in the missing episodes in the same way they do the existing ones. I think I've mentioned before that I prefer the Nation-written episodes in the first half to the Spooner-written episodes in the second half, so I'm looking forward to see how much we differ on that when those episodes come around. And of course, I'm really looking forward to your thoughts on The Feast of Steven.Matthew Turnagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115327182071167651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-1117943117019066722012-02-23T07:41:16.723-04:002012-02-23T07:41:16.723-04:00Thank you kindly.I do wish they generated more com...Thank you kindly.I do wish they generated more comments, fuel for discussion, but I'm glad people are enjoying them even when they don't have anything to add.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-53136839118605542072012-02-23T07:20:43.029-04:002012-02-23T07:20:43.029-04:00I am really enjoying these Dr. Who reviews!
