eve11A weekend at Chicago TARDIS made me want to watch more old school Who, and interestingly enough, more of the Jon Nat-Turner era. I had been making my way through Trial of a Time Lord, and so I picked it up again and plopped it in the Blu-Ray player. I'd left off with Terror of the Vervoids. It was a perfectly serviceable episode, but there wasn't very much that jumped out at me. I kind of liked Mel, but then my intro to her is the audios so I guess I'm nicer on Bonnie Langford than the usual fans. I liked Six's relationship with Mel; it seemed less adversarial than with Peri. The story was engaging enough... ha, liked the little nod to "Murder on the Orient Express", and there was the usual combination of six different story lines and weird aliens that have interesting outfits that if you cosplayed one at a con, maybe 3 people would get what you are but they would be really appreciative. And the whole "someone's messing with the matrix" side plot that is confusing. And hey, random giant evil plants! Dark episode too; I thought the people were just unconscious but the evil plants did actually kill them. And then the Doctor aged them to death! Because there was no way for them to live in peace and harmony. On a giant spaceliner. Aimed at a black hole. With a vault full of riches. And exploited aliens, an undercover scientist-or-something, a traitor, a feckless and vindictive security officer, power hungry scientists and a gym that pumps 8-bit video game music into your ears until you're ready to scream in horror. Terrifying? Well maybe not. But definitely entertaining.
In other news, I owe you all an epic Chicago TARDIS post with pictures and a day-by-day breakdown... and am secretly hoping![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
auntiemeesh beats me to the punch because I am still tired and haven't gotten the pics off my phone yet. I know, I am lame! But in short we had a lot of fun (and even entered the Masquerade!)
I've managed to write about 200 words on the WIP-o-Doom in the past two months, so I was thinking about picking that up again. I would really like to post it officially some day. I've also been thinking that I should officially write up my "The TARDIS thinks in measure theory" thoughts, possibly with graphs and/or visual aids.
