Favourite episodes of Doctor Who and why...

[Vortex]

My favourite from the new series is currently Blink from Series 3 because that one was actually quite scary.

And my favourite classic episode is the first one I can recollect which would be the Pertwee serial The Sea Devils which seemed very real at the time.

Series 1: The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances.
Series 2: The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit.
Series 3: Human Nature/The Family of Blood.
Series 4: Turn Left.
Classic: The Brain of Morbius.
Torchwood S1: Captain Jack Harkness.
Torchwood S2: Fragments.

Why: because they entertained me the most.

From the original run, my favourite has to be 'Genesis of the Daleks.'

SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!
aaROOOOHgaa! aaROOOOHgaa!





It gave a great insight into why the Daleks are as they are, and showed the Doctor at his best - a human being would have blown the Daleks up and thought little more of it. The Doctor had the sense to ask what would happen if he did, and chose the harder option, believing it to be for the best.


From the new series, my favourites are generally the ones written by Steven Moffat, because he seems to understand the mechanics of a good DW story better than most, and also makes seemingly everyday things into terrifying nightmares (a child in a gasmask, noises under the bed, statues, shadows... what next?).

I thought my personal favourite was 'Blink,' but I've just re-watched 'The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances,' and they are utterly brilliant. Also they have some great quotable lines.

What's life? Life's nothing. A quirk of mater, natures way of keeping meat fresh.

Love them episodes, probably at the moment my fave series 1 ep's. And Boom Town, I love the feel of that one.

Series 1: The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances.
Nice and dark and the scene with the tape recorder in the ward creeps me out. "I sent it to its room... THIS is its room!"
Series 2: The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit. Again dark and creepy, the Ood are fantastic, Best scene the devils confrontations "E:g The scientist still running from daddy, the little boy who lied" etc.
Series 3: The Lazarus Experiment. All the confrontation scenes between Lazarus and The Doctor crackle with enegy and intensity, gripping stuff.
Series 4: Planet of The Ood. Again the Ood are fantastic and faces some intresting issues.
Classic: The Deadly Assasian. Odd inside the Matrix and just a good well written story
Torchwood S1: Ghost Machine: For me this is the first time Torchwood was truly grow up and showed what it could do.
Torchwood S2: From Out of the Rain. Ghostmaker is possibly the creepiest villain ever and it again has that gripping dark side I like

[Obi-Jiff Kenobi]

...And Boom Town, I love the feel of that one.

I've heard more than a few negative comments about that episode, but I really liked it. Haven't seen it for a while, but as I'm working through S1 in order, that's up next.

The best thing about Boom Town was Captain Jack. Not the best of stories apart from him being in it.

[Dalek Thay]

And Mickey, and it had a really feel to it. It was the last happy time before the Doc regenarated and Captain Jack was left behind.
