    I'd also disagree about McCoy, I think he's a pretty good actor, although he does have a couple of limitations...mainly he's not as effective at scenes where he needs to be angry. this first season though, he and the show are both finding their feet, and ti's not really till towards the latter half that it settles down...

    That's exactly it. I think he's great, but I don't like when he's forced to do angry. Except for "Unlimited Rice Pudding", wherein he's just ripping into the Daleks with a vocal impression. At least that's what I think he sounds like there.

    Found it:

    Ward: "How could you get rid of K9 and the sonic screwdriver? You removed all the fun from the show!"

    Bidmead: "Exactly. Now the Doctor has to use his wits instead of a gadget."

    Ward: "The TARDIS is a gadget."

    Bidmead: "Ah, yes, but that is unpredictable.."

    Ward: "Exactly my point. Magic."

    As for sillyness, I actually really like Season 18, but a good deal of it is because it's got a lot of sour Fourth Doctor. Is that weird?

    One big dick move of his getting Chad Moore's YouTube account, which had a load of good reconstructions, suspended. Well at least I'm convinced he had some part in it because he got really upset at Moore's Celestial Toymaker reconstruction:

    "I saw you have stolen Loose Cannon's Celestial Toymaker and put it up on YouTube. That's theft. I must warn you that unless you remove all trace of it, I shall personally contribute to their legal fees to sue you for copyright theft of intellectual property. How dare you treat them in such a lowlife reprehensible underhand way, after all the good they have tried to do. You give Doctor Who fans a bad name. Do not reply to this. I have no desire to correspond with you, only to warn you of an impending lawsuit."

    My favorite was the time she was abducted by Sil and turned into a Human Centipede with Dodo and Katarina.

    That's pretty unfair. Katarina pressed a button and it saved the Doctor and Steven AND Bret Vyon, which in turn let the Doctor continue his mission to stop the Daleks' Master Plan. I don't think the stakes in Revelation of the Daleks were nearly as high.

    Wait a minute. Could this mean that mean Katarina was more useful than Peri?

    I'm surprised you guys didn't mention the "I'll take you to--" that ended Revelation of the Daleks. I imagine that some would be kept awake at night because they'd devote so much of their time and energy in attempting to find out just what fun place the Doctor and Peri would be going.

    And as bad as Vena was, I thought Tasambeker was worse.

    And the DJ's real crime? A cover version of Good Vibrations.

    Unless you guys are actually gonna cover this, I think we'd be remiss if A Fix With Sontarans wasn't mentioned. It aired during The Two Doctors' (which I love but can see why some might not) transmission period. Written by Eric Saward, it features the return of popular companion Tegan, as well as a plucky newcomer in guest star Gareth Jenkins, and of course, Sontarans melting horrifically into a mess of green blood and empty bodysuits. Truly a TV classic that will be treasured by generations of Doctor Who fans.

    There are other references to Cyberman stories, such as the sewer scenes (The Invasion) and the morally ambiguous villain (Revenge of the Cybermen). I'm trying to think of connections to The Moonbase and The Wheel in Space but I can't find any.

    And I'm surprised you guys weren't too keen on Sil because I absolutely love him. Nabil Shaban (the actor) has underdeveloped legs, so he had to be carried in some way. He also, in the past, tried hard to make a contribution to Doctor Who in some way. I'd say his determination paid off.

    Also, you left a swear in.
