Just when you thought it was safe to wash your car...EVIL BLACK AUTOMATON ALLEY CATS!
OH HELLO WOULD THAT HAPPEN TO BE A GREEN-EYED AINLEY-MASTER?
Suspicious Cats poster is suspicious, despite being a completely normal Cats poster. (Hey I live in New York, I'm a half-hour from Broadway)
(I actually saw Cats when I was little. Unfortunately too little to understand most of what was going on.)
Hey. Don't take cracks at Seven's paunch. Or calling him one of "the older men," despite the fact that he IS several hundred years old...
So I think the mystery of that "Seven shoplifting" picture has just been solved, unless he isn't actually going to shoplift.
"Have you found your friends, then?"
"No one even remembers them."
THE CATS ARE CRACKS IN THE UNIVERSE.
OR THEY COULD BE CHEETAH PEOPLE ON HORSES. THAT WORKS TOO.
Ace, seriously, did you REALLY think you could outrun a horse?
So Ace is running for her life on another planet, while Seven chases a cat down the alleyways of her old town. This show.
WHY YES THAT WOULD HAPPEN TO BE A GREEN-EYED AINLEY-MASTER!
And I'm only just now learning from Wikipedia that he died in 2004 :(
Why don't more companions get to run screaming with torches? I don't mean like British flashlights, I mean like with FIRE.
Also, I've heard of villains scratching their cats, but not villains scratching their cheetahs.
"The Master? Who's he?"
"An evil genius, and one of my oldest and deadliest of enemies."
"Do you know any NICE people?"
(Tweeting with one hand FTW)
Guys, why can't the Master have cats more often? He just looks so GOOD with them.
"They're essentially...a fun-loving species." *picks up a human skull*
No, dude, don't kill it when it's already down. That might be a BAD thing, actually.
Master has a wolf-howl. For some reason. Last time I checked, wolves were more closely related to dogs than cats.
Glowing red water? Are you sure that's...you know...safe?
Okay, Master vs. Cat-boy with fang. WHO SHALL WIN? Yeah, like that's even a question.
Wait. That wasn't a fight. The Master was trapping him so he could ride him through a wormhole off the planet. Wasn't expecting that.
Ladies and gentlemen, the final episode of the Classic Series of Doctor Who.
Why hello there, Happy Slow-Motion Huntresses Run.
Well, now that we're all back on Earth, all we have to do is stop the Master from screwing us all over. Again.
Little girl crying over her murdered cat. Um...GUYS, I'M SORRY BUT DID YOU REALLY NEED TO GO THERE?
SEVEN WITH MOTORCYCLE? I APPROVE. HARD.
Well that was fast. And...s'plosive. I guess that's what happens in a game of Chicken where nobody pulls out.
So now Ace is alone with Seven's hat and umbrella and the Master and a flank of punk boys are about to charge...
Huh. And all this time I thought Ace was above screaming for help like that. But at least she can SUMMON CHEETAH PEOPLE ON HORSES.
Wait. What. Would someone care to explain why Seven is lying facedown in a pile of junk on the OTHER SIDE of the hill where he crashed?
All very soft junk, apparently. Bags, a sofa...
WAIT. KARRA'S A HUMAN? Why hello Bernice Summerfield...I mean, Lisa Bowerman.
Master, I REALLY don't think you'll be able to break into the Doctor's TARDIS with a mundane screwdriver.
PLANET OF FIRE. EXCEPT IT'S TECHNICALLY NOT.
"IF WE FIGHT LIKE ANIMALS, WE DIE LIKE ANIMALS!" *suddenly back on Earth* "...HOME!" But wouldn't that take you back to Gallifrey?
And TV Tropes was right. That women DOES sound (and kinda look) a lot like a young Jackie Tyler.
Looks like Seven has the same lapel-thumb-stroking tic as One did. Except One did it a LOT more.
"There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, and the sea's asleep, and the rivers dream...people made of smoke, cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on Ace, we've got work to do!"
And so ended the original 26 years of travel with the Doctor.
