Four today for me. No strong opinions on this one
In 2. Thought it was one of two stories, the correct one or The Eaters of Light for some reason. I chose the wrong one first.
Got it in five. I’ll fully admit I don’t remember these two stories very well…
Got it in three.
Summary
After the second image I knew which seasons it was. I then guessed twice within those and got it.
In four today…
Genesis of the Immortal Space Viking
Two for me. This is one of those very rare stories that I just do not like. Trouble is, whilst there are elements I like, some good ideas just like we’d expect from Mathieson, other elements are just so bad that I can’t overlook them. In particular (and for a professional biodiversity researcher, this is egregious indeed) YOU DON’T GET ELECTRIC EELS IN EUROPE! And, no, European eels can’t produce electricity like that). i don’t mind Doctor Who being silly, but I can’t abide it being stupid! (Looking at you, too, “In the Forest of the Night”). Wish I could enjoy this story more than I do, but I’ve tried.
Apologies. Not like me to be so negative… but this story just gets my goat. I’ll move on so I can be happier!
In three, though actually it was the first picture that clicked as Vikings in my head a couple of guesses later
It took me all five. I was either being inattentive or I really didn’t recognise it.
Three. Went for The Eaters of Light then Listen. I mostly like this story, there’s a few weak elements, but I think Capaldi’s performance more than makes up for those.
Took me all five, I also guessed Eaters of Light, it has similar vibes I think. But yeah this is a story I don’t rewatch much. I remember where I was when I first saw it (in a caravan lol) because I remember it being a rare time when my other half paid full attention and I was so disappointed that it was pretty bad, it probably scared him off from watching it for the next decade
Got it in one!
In five, but should have gotten it in four. But tbf this is an episode I have extremely mixed feelings on tbh
In one!!!
Recognised the style
All 5 - thought we were being thrown a 'we’ve had that one before’ because I thought the carving was from Legend of the Sea Devils - so ended up all over the place as a consequence.
Actually, it’s good to read this. I thought it was a generally well regarded episode and have always felt bad that this one irks me so. Seems I am not alone in my dissatisfaction.
Blimey this sounds like you were proper slumming it.
It was more glamping than camping.
In three today.
Got it in 2. thought it was legend of the sea devils at first. Recognized the second one immediately. It’s not a bad episode
