+title: 'Doctor Who S04E15: Dr Who goes to Scotland'
+---
+
+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.
