Pyramids of Mars
Watching some well-deserved Pyramids of Mars. Thought I saw Manuel from Fawlty Towers. Now watching the TARDIS spin in space...
Four seems to be having a mid-life crisis. And Sarah Jane seems a lot more energetic than last time.
A dude wearing a fez playing dramatic organ music for no apparent reason? Kay. Also, love Four's sneaky-walk.
Holy crap, Four just OWNED that guy WITH HIS SCARF.
Ummmm, hey guys? That professor dude is kinda...you know...bleeding a lot?
Wow. Tom Baker must be pretty strong to be carrying that guy.
It's official: Lowry internet goes out around 12:25-ish on weekday nights.
Where we left off: More mummies and MORE DRAMATIC ORGAN PLAYING!
Okay, seriously, either those mummies have boobs, or they have the hugest barrel-chests EVER.
HOW IS THE ORGAN PLAYING ITSELF
Did...did the Doctor just throw a pocketwatch into a time-space vortex to get it to leave him alone?
Wait a sec. If they're in 1980 where the world has been destroyed, then how does Sarah Jane still exist?
Big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff, I guess.
Ten, why don't you explain for us?
Okay, Four just explained it: they were just looking into an alternate future.
"One good sneeze could set it off! Is there any more?"
"Nope. Perhaps he sneezed."
*Doctor death-glare*
That image was wonderful.
Wow. HOW did they get Four into that mummy suit so fast?
SARAH JANE HAS A FUCKING GUN. LIKE, HUNTING-RIFLE GUN. HOW DOES SHE EVEN KNOW HOW TO SHOOT IT. THEY'RE IN 1911.
S'PLOSION!
Finishing Pyramids of Mars. Sutehk attempts to pwn the Doctor with ANCIENT EGYPTIAN LASERBEAMS!
I'm beginning to understand why this guy is a revered villain in the Classic fandom. You rarely see the Doctor looking this defeated!
Also, I REALLY like this guy's voice. I can see why they brought him back to voice Satan in the new series.
OH. SHIT. HE'S CONTROLLING THE DOCTOR. WHAT.
Four must have a REALLY good plan. He's probably just faking the mind-control, though.
I'm surprised at how helpless I'm NOT feeling right now. THAT is how much confidence I have in the Doctor. Beat that.
Sarah Jane thinks he's dead, starts crying, Doctor gets up with an "oh I'm fine, where are we?" in less than a minute.
Less than a minute, and yet for some reason it was SO HEARTBREAKING. HOW DOES THIS SHOW DO THAT.
That giant cylinder-trap thing doesn't look good for Sarah Jane...
"One deceives, the other points truly." OH MY GOD YES THIS PUZZLE.
Wait...what just happened? What was that egg-thing? Why did the professor fall down and turn to ashes?
Huh. I have to admit, that felt a little anti-climactic. Could've done with a little less technobabble and a little more plot exposition.
Still, that last episode was pretty decent.
