My first mistake was to watch (almost) all of classic Doctor Who over eight weeks during Twitch's marathon. Actually, I'm kind of not regretting that even though it was very much not the way these stories were intended to be watched. My second mistake came afterwards when I let my brain even entertain the possibility of writing a short review for each and every serial I'd watched. That's the kind of thing you really want to prepare for while you're watching them or better still never because that's a lot of words, man. But I figured it was either now or never, I ain't watching them all again.
So I've written down what I remember thinking about the Second Doctor's serials, the ones that Twitch showed anyway (plus a couple of bonus stories). That's 13 whole reviews in one article, some of them more than a couple of paragraphs long! In fact, I'll even throw in an extra opinion right now: I like the way the new title sequence tears apart to reveal the Doctor's face, it's a clever effect. Not sure the plain logo's much of an upgrade though, but I guess they needed to keep it simple to make the video effects work.
There's going to be SPOILERS all over the place, but my plan is to only spoil things that happened either during the episode I'm reviewing, or the ones that came before it. So if you're reading about Tomb of the Cybermen you'll get no spoilers for The War Games, but I might spoil something about The Tenth Planet.
