How to stay sane...

[elisi]

Stay away from the internet/news.

As you may have guessed I had Monday/Tuesday off work (co-incidence, I booked the days off ages ago to use up my annual leave), but I was back today & busy, so am feeling much better!

So to continue avoiding ~news, I thought I'd talk about Classic Who?

Within the last half year I've watched Inferno (with thanks to kerkevik_2014), City of Death (with thanks to enevarim), and (yesterday!) Tomb of the Cybermen (with thanks to our old parish priest who was giving away books/DVDs before he left last year (well, you could donate whatever you wanted).

However, although I enjoyed them all, my mind is blank. I'm useless at doing ordinary 'reviews', which is why I hardly ever write about whatever regular TV I might be watching. I'm sort of meta-or-nothing.

So talk to me? Do you love/hate/feel indifferent towards these episodes? Do they prove that Two/Three/Four is the best Doctor ever?

I watched Tomb of the Cybermen some years ago, so I don't remember it all, but I remember I liked it. It was my first Two serial and I loved his personality and also Jamie, their friendship is so good! I don't like Cybermen very much, but curiously I really enjoyed them in this one. It was gripping, and rhe added touch of everything being an archaeological exploration just made it even more interesting for me!

It's one of the classic episodes for a reason. It's interesting, because I recognised several bits of dialogue, and it's lovely to put them in context. Also stylistically it's very neat. Loved the actual tombs themselves.

I think it might be because of how it was more a 'waking something terrible from slumber' rather than 'being attacked by big army'?
