Five is actually really sarcastic, but he smiles so nicely people tend to get misled. Sounds like me! >:) And then people get confused by my sense of humour.
although I am increasingly turned off by the unfortunate racist pseudo-science in Tomb of the Cybermen I deliberately tried to switch off that part of my brain. Like, THIS IS REALLY OLD! *twitch*
Everyone says that last one is too long, but they are wrong. There are far more ploddy and dull four parters out there. War Games is excellent and then hangs around a bit because they know we can't bear to part with the adorableness of Jamie-Zoe-Two and then leaps into game-changing revelations and HEARTBREAK FOREVER. If I come across it, I shall certainly watch it!
City of Death is the wittiest and has Julian Glover. I hope you had fun with it and weren't disappointed because of high expectations! I think I had heard about half the dialogue already in quotes, so it was more a case of putting it in context...
However, out of those three, my favourite is Inferno. I have a huge love for S7 (the proper season 7, not the new one, although I like that one more than most people seem to), and Inferno is my favourite bit of S7. "So free will is not an illusion after all." And the whole world ends this time. See I heard a lot of differing opinions, but (apart from being slow in the way Classic Who always is, because the structure was so different), I rather liked it, yes. :)
Later UNIT stuff is a lot of fun, but S7 is its own thing, and very satisfying to watch. Duly noted.
