I re-watched Planet of the Daleks tonight
Feb. 23rd, 2012 07:16 pmAnd it is pure crack. No, srsly. IT IS LIKE THE BEST THING EVER. Wobbly sets! Hilarious jungle! Padding that makes you go "...did we just spend an entire episode with the Doctor mumbling to himself in a cell?"
Also, there is something about watching Jo Grant accidentally blow up an entire Dalek patrol that gives you a sort of warm feeling. (she does it again later on, ok, so there's some Thal dude involved, but Jo was totally the instigator; also, she deactivates bombs and steals explosives)
Then there's the bro!TP of The Doctor and that Thal dude who spends so much time stuck in a cell with him. Like, at the end I was all "oh, c'mon, guys, just kiss already" (I do not have the usual slash goggles).
NO SRSLY. They build a barricade out of random shit at one point, and the DALEKS SPEND LIKE TWENTY MINUTES RAMMING IT. It is classic.
Anyway. Bedtime for me now.
