Worlds Enough and Time

I'm jumping all over the place, I know, unfortunately, I can only watch what's available to me. Also, er, I couldn't get past the Web Planet episodes and landed on The Chase. I've always been curious about Ian and Barbara's exit in context.

I didn't know The Chase was the same story where Steven Taylor would start out as a companion!

I've already seen The Meddling Monk so it was fun to get context with how he started.

The Doctor was terrible at goodbyes right from the start but I love that he softened and showed he would miss Barbara and Ian. I love that we got to see them happily going around London.

It's honestly so refreshing after all the epic tragedies of a Companion Leaving episode.

Down to the wire of my last Classic Who watch, until I find other sources. Amazon cut off my access to BritBox, even though I was paying for it. Didn't like I was using VPN to watch -- how the hells am I going to watch otherwise all the way where I am?

I sure as hell am not gonna pay for DVDs!

Anyway!

As I often do with Classic Who, I'm so surprised to see so many women in season 7, particularly this episode. Competent and awesome women, scientists women in the background. I mean, what happened between this period and the periods where the only woman in the entire season was a Companion?

My initial in-context reaction to this episode is, it's not as good in quality as a season 7 story but it is more digestible with only four stories in the mix. Seven story episodes are really difficult to sit through IMO.
