The Ark in Space
Oh hi thar, wonderfully cheesy 70's effect!
Judging by the confusion, Harry Sullivan is on his first trip. Honestly never heard of this guy before, outside of the Doctor's Boys pic.
Also, um, SARAH JANE.
Huh. Tom Baker's taller and skinnier than I'd thought.
He determines their location with a gravity-yo-yo. I like this guy already.
The sonic screwdriver makes the sound now! YAY!
Huh. It's probably just because I'm only 10 minutes in, but Sarah Jane seems to be fitting the Damsel in Distress bill more than she should.
AHAHAHAHA more escaping in boxes I love this show
"Pity about the scarf, though." DOCTOR, IT'S FINE. AND TRUST ME, YOU'LL BE KEEPING IT FOR A WHILE.
AGH. Giant glowing green slug thing. ...wait, didn't Three just get rid of those?
"You're getting better! Your mind is beginning to work! It's all because of my influence, obviously. You mustn't take any credit." Doctor <3
Four seems to be praising the human race's indomitability just like Nine and Ten did, but he doesn't look happy about it...
Okay, I'm sorry, using plastic wrap as a slime trail is cheesy even by THIS show's standards.
GIANT GREEN BUG FALLS OUT OF CLOSET...aaaaaand, CLIFFHANGER ENDING!
Ahh, I can see what everyone was saying about the Ark maggot being a guy crawling around in green bubblewrap. Seriously...that's what it is.
NO! DON'T ATOMIZE FOUR!
"Shot me, did he? Cut off in mid-sentence! I might've been saying something important." Four = love.
Wait. Green bug-things that mind-control/kill people with slime? Didn't I kinda...you know...just watch this with Three?
Seriously, I hope I'm wrong, but this is turning into The Green Death in space. I liked that arc, but...it was 6 freaking episodes.
Oh no! His hand is COVERED IN GREEN BUBBLEWRAP!
Oh no, my hand is covered in GREEN BUBBLEWRAP!!!
I'm sorry, watching this guy wrestling with his GREEN BUBBLEWRAP hand is funny as hell.
And now he's covered in MORE BUBBLEWRAP!
Dear Tom Baker, You have one of the greatest wild-eyed stares in the history of everything ever. Yours truly, Hannah.
"Human beings are quite my favorite species." HAH. SEE, HE SAID IT. TAKE THAT, MIGHTYOTAKING.
You blast away the layers of bubblewrap to reveal MORE BUBBLEWRAP!
THAT. BUG. CAN TALK. I'm amazed that anything surprises me on this show anymore but...
FINALLY A MENTION OF JELLY BABIES.
Yikes. That's a pretty claustrophobic space...
"Stop whining, girl. You're useless!" Revenge for insults is the best motivator.
D'awwww, even when he's giving motivational insults, the Doctor still cares.
Wait a sec...WHY does Sarah Jane's cryo-suit have HEELS? I...I don't even...HEELS? WHY?
Oh wow. They did NOT just say "resistance is useless." They...wow. WOW.
HAH! And you can see Four's hat just sitting there on the control panel.
Wait, did he just PUNCH OUT THE DOCTOR? You do not PUNCH OUT THE DOCTOR. It's just a thing you DO NOT DO.
Wait wait wait I'm confused now. Why is the Doctor okay? Why was the safety pod launched?
Wow. Sarah Jane changed clothes REALLY REALLY fast.
