Commenting to boost you. Dalek Invasion of Earth is important for so many things, as is The Rescue. The fighting was limited because this season was shot on video in one take, even if there were bloopers to save money. Video tape was expensive. I'm really glad to see your Doctor Who journey.
Bahahaha.. completely enjoyed you giving Barbara the bizness the entire serial! Aztecs is very much of its time of recording, but I do like that even back then The Doctor and Ian were trying to get her to understand that it wasn't her place. Also, I've read that Ian was meant to be the action man since Hartnell wasn't able - hence the unnecessary fight scenes to spice things up for the family audiences. The slow fights are funny by today's standards, but I look at Classic Who as filmed stage plays, rather than television episodes based on the extremely low budgets and the way in which they wrote, scheduled and filmed. The awkwardness (and part of the early charm) of scenes come from the fast rollout schedule. Of course, this is my head canon that is based on things I've read in the past and I am more than comfortable being corrected on my ideas. PS - cute hair change in the 2nd half! I just shaved my head again ala Sinead O'Connor (which I do every few years) so I'm enjoying not worrying about hairstyling at the mo', but I love what you've been doing with yours!! Looking forward to Dalek Invasion..
*LOVE* the slow fighting song! Between the brown-face & Barbara’s white saviour issues, it certainly has the feeling of a show from the ‘60s. But I do love that it also shows Barbara, for all her faults. She was brainy, stubborn, & (with Ian) the very reason the Doctor fell in love with humanity Oh, & the big bad was supposedly doing a bit of a Richard the 3rd vibe to his character, sooooo strong choice? (Not saying good, just strong) Wonderful reaction, as always!
The Sensorites are a good episode before the DALEK invasion of earth. See Susans character actually develop a bit plus the Sensorites are related to the Ood. There planet is apparently in the same solar system.
The Sensorities, then The Dalek Invasion of Earth and you can finally jump ahead in season 3 if you like. Unless anyone in the chat has any recommendations but only ones to stick to the lore as you said. I just wanna make it easier for you without having to go through so many fillers. S2 has waaay too many stories in my opinion. But season 3 has like 3-4 stories. The Ark, The Gunfighters(optional) and The War Machines (My fav) The only serials in season 3 that’s lost/unwatchable is Daleks Master Plan and The Celestial Toymaker. Last one has now become animated, but tbh with you not one of my fave stories. It’s fine but it’s one of those stories that starts like a bore-fest at the beginning but at the end it gets interesting.
@@ValenAlder-it5ow And the last time I checked Amazon Prime, there were no longer any copies of the Celestial Toymaker available compatible with American DVD or Blu-ray players, only UK players. I'm sure it will be available to stream eventually, and no one would mind if we backtrack a little bit down the road. Even if it isn't one of the better First Doctor serials, it became very important to the canon after "The Giggle".
The dalek invasion of earth then after that watch the rescue and after that one watch the Romans because there is a scene which shows that the first doctor knows how to defend himself.
@@Darkly_i_Shine Back then it was yes as they had to work tirelessly for months and unlike today it's very, very hard work they couldn't do retakes they had to act out like it was a play on stage the scene with Susan discussing about beimg forced into marriage were pre-filmed she wasn't actually there during the making episode 2 and 3 which was very common with television in those days.
@@Darkly_i_Shine It's a thing when you're filming a tv show all year around. The 1st season of Dr Who ran from 23/11/63 until 12/09/64 so basically once the production crew had finished filming season 1 they had to start filming season 2 straight away.
Indeed, and I don't want to get into anything too spoilery, but there is a Second Doctor serial where the actor playing one of the companions became ill mid-shoot and they literally contrived away to change the characters appearance for a week so a different actor could play the character until the regular actor recovered! Luckily, it was the type of story that lent to that kind of solution. 😅

Considered one of the top stories in fandom.
Am I binge watching to catch up? yes. Am I loving these reactions to classic who? YES!

While Aztec men were legal for marriage, Aztec females were "eligible" at 15. Which makes the Quincienera a little more disturbing. 🫨
😯🙁🫨🫨

@@punkrockpollyanna7829 thank you. As always love to see your comments!
Also, slow fighting is definitely of the era - in the late ‘60s Star Trek was still doing it!

Planet of Giants (the story immediately before Dalek Invasion of earth) is a cute little story. Not essential - but good fun!
I really like planet of giants. TBH season 2 is one of the best seasons/series of doctor who out there imo.

Susan wasn't in this story too much because Carol Ann Ford was taking a holiday at the time
Taking a holiday while filming your show? is that a thing ?

I don't really have anything specific to add, so I'm commenting just for the sake of boosting the signal for the algorithm.
WOOO HOOOOO! Appreciate it!
