Re: android invasion?
Hello Phil
Yes I had heard that the Brain of Morbius is out on cd but also was going to come out on DVD. On one of the other commentaries, Tom Baker said that it was his favourite, which doesn't surprise me as he has a dark side to his nature. I love B of M and hope this is true but i haven't heard much on the subject. I would love to see more Sarah stories on DVD and I think we are lucky in that she has the SJA show to lift her profile once again, even though I think they were some of the best stories anyway.
I hope you get to see dw this week and next. Sarah is not what I would call a companion in this. She acts more like another Doctor in her own right. I think she plays an important role, in that she seems to function without the aide of the doctor and uses her good old sarah initiative and bravery to do may things. Not great things but little things that are appreciated by us. She uses her sonic lipstick and makes a big decision and has another device that only she could get her hands on as an "ordinary" earth woman. I think she's more spcial than the others. Elevated from "just" a companion. Interested in what others think of this. My only disapointment is that she and the doctor really don't speak to each other at all apart from at the end.
I liked Martha quite alot when she came on. I thought the stories were different and I loved that Rose had gone and taken the lovely dovey garbage with her. I liked Martha beause she was fresh and she really was over awed by the time travel etc, often showing her excitement which most normal people would. She seemed quite normal to me. I really do like Donna too. Definitely NOT in love with the doctor but still wanting to travel with him forever beause of the awe of it all. [Like Sarah] How can one ever go back to a normal life after that?
Anyway, hope the eps are enjoyed. Looking forward to people's comments about Sarah.
