I skipped some episodes in the last year.
|
|
|
|
|
I think there were Cybermen.
|
|
|
|
|
There were definitely Daleks.

## S04E15: The Highlanders (1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Okay I guess they're in Scotland.
|
|
|
|
|
This is another one of those episodes where all they could recover was
|
|
|
|
|
a few still frames and the audio,
|
|
|
|
|
so this episode is basically a slideshow.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm finding it difficult to care about this,
|
|
|
|
|
although this new doctor has a funny hat,
|
|
|
|
|
which is cute.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A lot of people are grunting in Scottish.
|
|
|
|
|
And there are bagpipes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Did I mention I'm finding it difficult to care?
|
|
|
|
|
I may be about to decide to skip all the Earth episodes.
|
|
|
|
|
And yet I'm somehow halfway through the episode already.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The plot so far appears to be that the English and Scottish are fighting.
|
|
|
|
|
Some dudes named Grey and Perkins appear to be trying to do something nefarious.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I guess one of the new companions is named Polly.
|
|
|
|
|
She's going to throw a rock at the British in an attempt to stop a hanging.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh, are they hanging the other companion?
|
|
|
|
|
I think the Doctor is pretending to be some official or other again.
|
|
|
|
|
Grey and Perkins show up and stop the hanging,
|
|
|
|
|
looks like they're scavenging prisoners.
|
|
|
|
|
The doctor cites some law to Grey, a Lawyer, and manages to not be hanged.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The women (Polly and a Scottish woman)
|
|
|
|
|
are in a cave now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I stopped paying attention.
|
|
|
|
|
The women were saying it was dark.
|
|
|
|
|
Then somebody screamed,
|
|
|
|
|
and credits rolled.
|
|
|
|
|
I guess we're still in the "women screaming" era that Susan started.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am trying really hard but I just don't care.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm sorry.
|
|
|
|
|
I have a lot of things I could be doing with my time right now,
|
|
|
|
|
and almost all of them are more interesting than this.
