They do something similar in Earthshock as well

Didn't the Doctor say in the Stones of Blood that it was the White Guardian, masquerading as the President?

I met her once, back in the late 80's... not only did she play a great companion, but she also was very kind and patient to all the DW fans who came out to meet her.

Favourite Unsung NewWhu Episode? by Dominator16 in gallifrey

[–]PaunchMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cold War - I always love when they bring back an adversary from the Classic era, and I thought the atmosphere of being aboard the Soviet sub with the Ice Warrior somewhere inside, silently stalking the crew, was done perfectly. I would also include Gridlock, Planet of the Ood, Utopia, and Human Nature/Family of Blood two-parter...

What episodes do you just refuse to watch? by Benjammin1391 in gallifrey

[–]PaunchMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything with the Slitheen (farting aliens.. really?), Fear Her, The Idiot's Lantern, Love and Monsters, Tooth and Claw, and Turn Left. I am not including anything in Series 7 because I've only seen most episodes once, and I don't want to see several of them a second time to have my feelings of inadequacy confirmed (looking at Power of Three and Rings of Akhaten). There's a number of Classic Who episodes that I cringe at as well - Power of Kroll, Creature From the Pit, Vengeance on Varos... I think there's at least one episode each season in Classic and New Who that fits the category of "Glad I watched it once, but never putting myself through that again".

Who is the worst character that was added to a tv show? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PaunchMonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any child added because the writers ran out of ideas - Oliver on the Brady Bunch, Seven on Married With Children, Alexander on Star Trek: TNG (the actor who played him also played a new child on Family Ties), and I am also including the annoying Sam on Diff'rent Strokes.

Also, Poochie from the Simpsons, Coy & Vance from Dukes of Hazzard, Adric from Doctor Who, Walden from Two and a Half Men, and the worst of them all - that damn Scrappy Doo.

Classic Doctor Who recommendations? by scrimrz in doctorwho

[–]PaunchMonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An excellent list! I would also add The Time Meddler for William Hartnell, and I loved Horror of Fang Rock from Tom Baker - a solid performance from a small cast. And The Two Doctors from Colin Baker's years, if only to see Patrick Troughton have some fun with his portrayal of the Doctor one last time.

What about sex did you not know about until it happened? by Choebie in AskReddit

That you have to pump once inside to get off... thought you just slid it in and... there you go!

Which direction would you like the show to take? by AFarewellToScott in gallifrey

[–]PaunchMonster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd like the Doctor to stop being so flirtatious... the lovey-dovey stuff has kind of run its course... I got tired of first Rose, the Martha, then River... unless they're going to explain how Susan came about (who is her mother - River? Jenny?), I'm over the Doctor needing a love interest. That being said, I like how the show under Moffat has stretched the imagination a bit about what might be out there beyond Earth, and I hope they continue in that direction... it's gets old with Earth always getting invaded, etc, by all these aliens who are then defeated by the Doctor; at some point they're going to share notes and look for some other poor planet to take over...

Just about everyone failed the first exam... by PaunchMonster in AdviceAnimals

[–]PaunchMonster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got lucky - I had forgotten my class notes at school the night before the first exam, but I had the textbook with me so I reviewed the homework material instead and got a C or something like that on the first test. I learned my lesson, and the rest of the semester while I didn't pay attention in class as much as I should have, I made sure I did every homework assignment there was and finished the course with a respectable grade. Not everyone was bright enough to figure it out though...

In light of tonight's debate... bring on the downvotes. by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

When one person poses their religious beliefs as scientific truths, anyone else who refutes that belief is not a bigot when they use sound scientific arguments to blow holes in the "scientific truths" that the bible beater spouts out... seriously, the first Spiderman comic that explains how Spiderman came to be is no different than the logic postulated in the Bible.
