Derek. Mr Metaltron?
Uh? Yes?
Your presence is required.
Oh... kay.
Mr Metaltron, you have been selected to undertake a vitally important task.
Really?
No, not really. But you'll do it anyway. It concerns the Key to Time Season of Doctor Who. Do you know of it?
Well I heard of the myths and legends and Lost Spook keeps telling me to watch it after I finished with Season Twenty-
It is no myth. And you will watch it first.
Ah, well you're the boss Mr White Guardian sir.
It consists of six segements, and these segements are collected in a single DVD collection you have owned for months but haven't bothered checking out.
Yyyyyeah, well I was gonna but I just got some new Family Guy...
Hmph. There are times, Mr Metaltron, when the forces in the universe upset the balance to such an extent that it becomes necessary for a Doctor Who fan to stop everything... and watch the Key To Time Season.
All of it?
In order. And possibly the special features too.
Well surely there are plenty of other Doctor Who fans who-
I have chosen you.
Ah. Well I'll get cracking then! Don't suppose I get a Mary Tamn of my own to watch them with me?
...No.
Drat. Well I'll be off then.
One final thing, Mr Metaltron. I am the White Guardian, and to maintain universal balance there is also a Black Guardian.
Uh ah? Will he be trying to stop me watching them then?
No, I simply wanted to use it as a long-winded way of making sure you put your thoughts on the episodes down when you've seen them.
Rrrrrright. Well I'll be going...
Beware the Black-
Oh sprack off!

Thoughts on The Ribos Operation will be up in the coming days!

Well in a couple of hours I shall be a quarter of a century old. Oh er. In any case, I figured I will be attempting once again to utilise my fanfiction and livejournal skills over that of my umpteen dozen RP journals for a period, since I feel in the New Year I want to get back into that frame of mind. I shall hopefully live up to various past promises (watching Key to Time, doing Top Ten Lists, finishing some fanfiction and carrying on my 'Old Who for Nu Who' series.) and the like.
Also there's been something of a little matter of a Doctor Who Christmas Special (as I was away on the 25th I caught the BBC3 28th showing) and an opening episode of Sherlock to talk about...
( Spoilers for 2011 Doctor Who Christmas SpecialCollapse )
( Spoilers for Sherlock: A Scandal in Belgravia & General Season 2nessCollapse )
So, here's to 2012 being a more blog-filling year for me, till next time! :)

After reading this post over at 
doctorwho I started to consider the question suggested... of the ones I have seen, which seasons have either the better opener or finale when compared to each other? Incidently this is also a rather enbarassing means of realising that there's a lot of great Classic Who you actually haven't seen yet... Hm....
And that's my thoughts! Hope you found them interesting and I'll be sticking up some news about me and the much delayed Watchathon shortly.

Well the Votes are in for the Watchathon and it's a suprisingly slim lead for Season 26! Since Key to Time came terribly close I have elected to do that next, but expect Battlefield to be viewed (regular or Special Edition version? Curse you 2Entertain for giving me choice!) in the not too distant future (quite possibly tonight).
Also I'm facing the music as far as au_bingo is concerned and electing to cancel my attempts to do a bingo by the end of the month, given that would be four stories remaining. I may elect to try them over the coming months but I guess timed writing exercises aren't that good for me. Besides, I have an RPG and some Marvel related scripts to write for an upcoming Youtube project I'm co-writing, so these should be coming first.

Ok fellow Whovians - I need your help as to what to see. You see I claim on the whole to be a well rounded Who-Boy who is fond of all Doctors and all era, but I have yet to watch several of what are considered Who's finest hours (and maybe not so finest). As a result I am intending to look at the numerous DW DVD's I have acquired over the past few months which I have not had the opportunity to view yet, pick some Season or Theme of stories I have either never seen all or wholly all of and see it from start to finish in however long and sluggish it happens to take me, and then probably stick up a few words on here about how I'm getting on.
BUT I NEED YOUR HELP TO PICK WHAT TO SEE! Because it would be fun that way.
After examining the options I have picked three possibilties, so I need you to choose from the options below:
- The Silurians have often been called one of my favourite monsters and despite some bashing by some of their recent return I found myself enjoying The Hungry Earth. That being said I have never actually seen their Classic Who appearances - Doctor Who and The Silurians, The Sea Devils and Warriors of the Deep - so it is possible I could change my mind over that. I have heard the readings of the first and last by Caroline John and Peter Davison though so I do know the overall plot of some. Usefully there's a boxset with all their stories in, so it easy enough to watch them all through, both good and bad.
- The Key To Time - a whole season of Tom Baker I've never seen! Plus could Mary Tamn ever replace Lalla Ward as the Romana I grew up with and loved? Probably not, but it would be fun to see all of this set of stories as the Doctor searches for the mysterious Key To Time via the White Guardian. Again this is all in a boxset so it's nice and easy to watch.
- Lastly is the Last of Classic Who - all of Season 26 to be precise. Sylvester McCoy is one of those incarnations I'm trying to get into and so I nabbed all of his last season - Battlefield, Ghost Light, The Curse of Fenric and Survival - with Ace over the latter half of last year. Fenric, Light, Morgan, the Master with yellow eyes... I've heard of it but never seen it. Is it time for me to be rrrrrolling the r's? Let me know.
Which of These Seasons/Boxsets to see?
Beneath The Surface (Silurians)
2(8.0%)
Key To Time (Fourth Doctor/Romana I)
11(44.0%)
Season 26 (Seventh Doctor, Ace)
12(48.0%)
