auroracloudI'm too tired to post any sensible fannish content now (mind you, I feel there's something off with the expression of 'sensible fannish content' - like those words don't belong together, you know). But I just wanted to say that, after life things and such have conspired to slow down my much-loved Second Doctor era watching, I finally finished my rewatch of The Invasion, and that story just makes me so happy. It's even better than I remembered! And Zoe gets to be so awesome in it. Go, brilliant scientist girl saving (some of) the day! In a story made in 1968!
Definitely a Classic Who/Second Doctor story I much recommend! Though probably not as the first introduction to either, simply because it's 8 episodes long and two of the episodes are animated because the original episodes are missing and only their soundtracks survive. But when you've watched some other Second Doctor era, this one should definitely be on your list as well. It's got an interesting plot, an awesome bad guy played by an excellent actor, a great supporting cast (Isobel! and that Brigadier chap is rather important for the series as a whole, you know, and this organization named UNIT also makes its first appearance). The TARDIS trio of the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe are in great form, and it's a story where all three get to be very much themselves and get enjoyable stuff to do and I just love these actors and I could go on and on and on about this but I probably need to start getting ready for bed.
