After months of delays and procrastinations and distractions, i have reached it
the final Third Doctor story. And i must reflect, i really enjoyed this unique era of Doctor Who, where the adventures were mostly set on (at the time) present-day UK because of all the budget cuts. Jon Pertwee was an amazing Doctor and throughout all this, you could tell that he really wore his James Bond inspiration on his sleeve. And also he just has the drip
look at this man. Legendary.
This last episode was a decent sendoff to him i think, the thing with Classic Who is that final Doctor episodes tend to be a means to an end rather than the point. That said, this episode did have some Buddhist elements in it, about how The Doctor must become a new man by destroying his ego, realizing that he's greedy for knowledge and how he has to let that go.
This bit of trivia is funny: "This is the first of two Doctor Who stories to feature giant spiders, the other being Arachnids in the UK released 44 years later."
And with all that out of the way
welcome Tom Baker and his legendary seven year consecutive run as The Doctor.
