Ok, going back a bit. Adric's back to life, nobody's heard of Turlough, we've just left the Kinda and Tegan has just remembered what happened when the snake thing took over her mind. And now she's trying to leave. Why is she leaving? What? I mean, I know she decides to leave, but why? She's looking forward to just assimilating back into English air stewardess culture. They've landed at Heathrow 300 years early and the Doctor doesn't seem too bothered, nor does he understand why she would be. Heh, the others are forcing him to act like he has emotions.
Aha! There goes action!Doctor again! Oh, for fuck's sake Adric. There's nothing on the ground, how could you possibly trip? Did that guy just suggest their pursuers might "cuddle them to death"? I swear that's what I heard. Lol, Mr. Community Theatre here goes "I was once a thespian". No, really?
Woah, the celery just sticks to his jacket! It's not pinned or anything! He just took it off to check it then slapped it right back on there! That celery might be the most interesting part of Five.
What the bloody hell was that guy's accent just then??? American back-woods yokel? My god.
Alright, I stopped writing about halfway through, but for posterity I'll post this anyway.
Quotes
Adric: Though I must admit, I'm not entirely convinced [Tegan] likes me.
Doctor: Now, don't jump to conclusions Adric. Sometimes we... humanoids try to disguise our... our true feelings. (...?)
Nyssa: Is it sensible to go on?
Doctor: Probably not.
Mr Community Theatre: What should we say if they open the door?
Adric: ...'hello'?
Fish thing: You're being a very stupid woman.
Tegan: That isn't a very original observation.

You really can't blame Tegan and Nyssa for not trusting Turlough. He has an incredibly irritating and slimy manner about him. Poor guy, though. If only he were better at lying and not seeming very obviously like a rat. I just want to get to the bit where they all know that he's being extorted into trying to kill the Doctor and everybody can get over it and move on with their lives. I don't like these episodes but I'm watching them for the sake of the experiment.

This one I need to do an entry for, it's looking so goofy. The start, where you meet Turlough being a total spaz, stealing a car and such. I don't know how to describe it, he really is just a spaz. And maybe he wouldn't hate Earth so much if he weren't spending his time here in a British boarding school. Also, the Black Guardian is so creepy my head hurts. His head actually looks as though he's got a big glob of petrol on his head that's slowly dripping down. Hm, I've just realized I really ought to watch Snakedance before this one, but meh.
Also, Turlough is not only a spaz, he's a sociopathic lying spaz. Did the Black Guardian just say "Go to the Hellboy"? Yeesh, what is this, Hippo's theme music? This weird keyboard cartoony nonsense? And why would a fat awkward nerd like Hippo ever be friends with an obvious heartless dick like Turlough? Poor guy.
Hee hee, the little jump of surprise the Doctor just did was priceless. What in the name of sanity is going on with Turlough's eyes?
Wait, now the thing on the Black Guardian's head looks like a dead slimy bird. Ok, that's my final answer. I think they're doing a pretty good job of provoking sympathy for Turlough, even while they make it explicitly clear that he's a complete asshole. Oh, poor Hippo. Dude, Turlough is a fantastically terrible liar. Nyssa and Tegan are clearly much better at reading people than the Doctor. Or maybe they just don't like boys. Argh, this is almost unpleasant to watch. I'm gonna... play an online game at the same time or something. See you in a bit. Woah, spaz attack. Just saying.
Heh, that was a pretty girlish shriek coming from Turlough just now. Although, yeah I feel pretty bad for him at this point. The cowering and pleading and genuine terror is doing its job.
Oh for heaven's sake. Just ask the guy something only the Doctor would know! Ask him where Adric is or something. Although the guy knows all their names and it isn't necessarily impossible that he becomes a jerk to his friends after regeneration. Man, Turlough is getting some funky background music. And by "funky" I don't mean weird, I actually mean funky.
D'awww, little baby Nyssa and Tegan!! So cute!!! Anyway. Turlough is still a sketch and all that. Whatever.

Earthshock
Ah, the one where Adric dies. I'm starting the post a bit in, second episode I think. Did that Cyberman just call that other Cyberman "Linda"? They're exaggerating the antagonism between Adric and the Doctor because they know he's gonna die. He wants to go home - to E-space. Not possible, clearly, but Adric thinks it ought to be. The Doctor doesn't agree.
Ooh, the Cybermen are doing a little recap of the Doctor's interaction with them. Clips from the three old Cyberman episodes I ended up watching in research! Cool.
Aw, the Doctor is making up with Adric. Up. Awww..... they're so cute! Oh, Adric doesn't really want to go home. He just said it and calculated a route to make a point. They're so cute!! They just want to confuse your opinions of Adric, don't they? So you don't know what to think when he goes. Also, I have recently learned that Adric isn't the only companion who died. I'm not sure about the others but I'm pretty sure there are others. Oh no! Adric is coming out of the TARDIS to explore with the Doctor! At least the Doctor knows he's there for once. But Adric is the one sneaking about being cautious while the Doctor strides boldly around corners and says things like "I want to announce my PRESENCE!!"
Meehhhh, Adric is so nervous, he knows something's going to go wrong. Gah, I don't know if I'll be able to handle it! Well, ok. I will. But still! Oh, cool. Adric really does have mathematical excellence. He just took the square root of 3.somethingsomething in his head!
Hm, the Cybermen are much more expressive than I've ever seen them. They lean around and use a bit of body language, interact with each other. They're much more like people.
Oh yes, the obligatory "what use are emotions" conversation necessary in every Cyberman episode.
Oh, Adric! He didn't get the chance to see if his way to keep the ship from crashing was right because a Cyberman blasted the console and then he crashed into Earth and blew up and died!!! Oh, jesus... no sound over the end credits and just a picture of Adric's broken badge for mathematical excellence. Wow. Oh, Adric...
