Borrowing from the past: — Second Doctor

[random-human-being2311]

I love how classic who fans are like "omg these guys are my adorable little blorbos, I love them so much" and then show you some pictures of the most horrifically goofy-looking creatures imaginable

I'm not saying that it's at all a bad thing or that I'm any different of course, these guys are my adorable little blorbos and I love them so much

Doctor Who - Macra

If he can make this many faces in just a couple of seconds of walking, I can’t even bear to imagine what we’ve lost.

Give me the actual footage of Jamie dancing RIGHT NOW

[interestingturnofthetables]

The Doctor: *rambles off an explanation of where they are & what the situation is/means*

Jamie: how do you know!?

The Doctor: I don’t know. I’m guessing.

Modern Doctors Who can do anything (except open wooden doors) with their sonic screwdrivers; meanwhile the second Doctor is going around fucking up alien technology with a plain ordinary flathead.

One of the neatest things about missing episodes getting DVD releases is the unique logos made for each serial:

Doctor Who - The Macra Terror

[demigodofhoolemere]

There's nothing I could say about this or the Highland fling that hasn’t been said a hundred times, but man. I can’t get over this.

These animators did such a fun job characterizing each of the companions so well. Ben's boots are neatly by his bedside, perfectly representing his sailor/military background. Jamie naturally sleeping with his shoes in bed, probably not even thinking about taking them off. Polly's boots are messily beside her bed, showing her more carefree attitude.

The Macra Terror

Finally, watching the animated Second Doctor episodes.

Okay, so what am I watching here...Giant crabs, eh?

Hmm. I'm sensing a tinge of déjà vu here.

Haven't I seen this movie before? Many years ago...

Ah yes. 'Attack of the Crab Monsters'. A group of scientists find themselves stranded on an island inhabited by intelligent giant crabs.

What's it about mega sized crustaceans? Why are there so many movies about them? Strange that I've seen quite a few of those.

Silly sci-fi movies and shows. I love em. ❤️
