Susan sure does scream a lot.

januarWhile at the library yesterday, I happened to spot a Classic Who DVD. Therefore, I get you a running commentary on story no. 5, "The Keys of Marinus", starring William Hartnell as the First Doctor.
- Obviously that's not a full size TARDIS materializing. But it's a good tiny model. Complete with flashing light!
- Ian, what is with that outfit?
- Those boat things look like they're moving along strings.
- I keep laughing at the dialog between Ian & the Doctor. Maybe because of how the Doctor is.
- Hey, look, the shadow of the boom. Oh, old television, with the spotting of crew and such.
- That is definitely not a corridor, but a wall painted to look like one.
- Transporter wrist things! They make me think of Jack Harkness's.
- Classic Who music! Which has the same base tune as New Who music, only simpler.
- It's like Barbara's a goddess or royalty. But they sure did make her up and make her robe quickly.
- Oh, a Barbara/Ian vibe.
- Uh oh, some sort of deice put on their foreheads while they sleep can't be good.
- Obviously the forehead thing changed Ian's suspicious opinion. And the noise, I guess, changed Barbara's to the negative.
- Why do they not see the obviously hiding people?
- Brains with eye stalks in jar.
- "It's my precious..." Sorry, the way the girl was acting made me have to do that.
- Ah, now her dress is definitely rags.
- That's why you don't go running ahead, Susan.
- "I do wish Ian wouldn't treat us like Dresden china." Go to the future, Barbara! Be a future woman!
- Susan screams and cries a lot.
- Those arms were obviously not part of the statue.
- Oh look, more rotating walls.
- Why didn't you just say the door had opened, Barbara? Then he would have come.
- So what is DE3O2?
- You know, there was no Doctor in that episode. Amazing!
Halfway through. Time for a break to mow the lawn and get some lunch. And then we're back!
- My brother just fled the room in order to escape the old school effects.
- I'm not sure if we should be scared of the bearded guy or not.
- Ah, since the other guy is tied up, I'm going to guess that yes, we should be scared.
- That is a very short bridge. Obviously someone has been in there before.
- What's with people in suits of armor?
- Ah, styrofoam ice. Used to make bridges and fight off knights.
- Yeah, that's a great idea, Susan. Just go crawling across the ice without thinking it over.
- Hahahahaha. The knight guy crying out as he fell made me think of Monty Python. All that needed to make it truly Python is if the other knights had run into each other and fallen off as well.
- *snerk* Oh yeah, you really knocked him on the head. More like brushed his back. Yet down Ian goes.
- Oh no! Ian's been framed! And is apparently going to be sentenced to death, if the title of the next episode is any indication.
- The interrogator makes me think of someone, but I'm not sure who.
- Hello Doctor! Good to see you after two episodes without you.
- *cracks up* The combination of the robes, the funny hats and the beards totally makes me think of the Spanish Inquisition.
- Ooh, Barbara and Susan get to be detectives.
- You solved it, Detective Doctor!
- You were sooo close to tricking him into telling.
- Ooh, trickery. Good job, Doctor.
- That clock/timer is kind of annoying.
- It was the wife! Of course it was! At least that's what Tony DiNozzo would say.
- I thought the wife mentioning Susan sounded a little funny.
- Time for more Susan crying. At least she was saved.
- Something is going to happen with that cabinet. Otherwise why would they pay so much attention to it?
- Aha! It was in the mace! Good hiding place.
- So the Doctor has meet Pyrrho, whoever that is. [*looks it up* A Greek skeptic between 360 BC and 270 BC.]
- Back to the island!
- Stumbling aliens, hee.
- Peeking around corners!
- I really hope Ian threw down the fake key.
- Yay, I was right.
- Boom!
- A new souvenir for the Doctor. I wonder where it's currently at in the TARDIS.
- And the TARDIS leaves the island. The end!
I might now have to see what other Classic Who my library has... edit: I now have 13 Classic Who requests at the library. I know I got Two, Three, Four, Seven, and maybe Five. I, uh, may have purposely skipped over Six and Eight. You don't blame me, right?
