When you’re hiding behind a corner from guards patrolling the museum you just broke into after hours, and the 14y/o girl you kidnapped rescued just lets out the LOUDEST most OBNOXIOUS sneeze you’ve ever heard in your 300+ years of life.

Rewatching the Space Museum

I nearly skipped straight to the Chase, but I wasn't ready to say goodbye to Ian and Barbara just yet. I'm glad I didn't! This is a better story than I remembered it being.

Some more thoughts:

The use of hair and make-up to indicate aliens races - deep widow's peaks and pointy eyebrows on the Moroks, massive eyebrows on the Xerons - is very Star Trek for a story that predates Star Trek by more than a year.

60s Doctor Who is often sexist, but the absence of women in this story is just weird.

Love Ian's shenanigans with Barbara's cardigan, love the Doctor playing games with the Morok's mind-reading machine then climbing into a Dalek and giggling.

The Xerons are a sweet little bunch of Boy Scouts. They all sound like they fell out of an Enid Blyton novel, which probably wasn't the intention, but it kind of works anyway.

Vicki shouting REVOLUTION to the lie-detector lock is delightful. Should be a meme.

For all that the capture - escape - capture stuff gets a bit stale by the fourth episode, the ending is solid. And I liked the explanation of the time wobble too.

Ian: 'Doctor, we've got our clothes on!'

'Well, I should hope so, dear boy. I should hope so!'

Watch Doctor Who "The Space Museum" episodes to see very good takes on revolution and direct action, especially The Search.

SUSAN: “I can't, Mister Chesterton. You can't simply work on three of the dimensions.”

IAN: “Three of them? Oh, time being the fourth dimension, I suppose? Then what do you need E for? What do you make the fifth dimension?”

SUSAN: “Space.”

“DOCTOR: Yes, the planet Quinnis, of the fourth universe.”

VICKI: “Time [fourth dimension], like space [fifth dimension], though a dimension in itself, has dimensions of its own.”

THE RILLS: “Though we are beings of separate planets, you from the solar system and we from another space, our ways of thought, at times, do not seem all that different.”

MALPHA: “Suppose they send a message through this universe?”

[...]

MALPHA: “This is indeed an historic moment in the history of the universe. We six from the outer galaxies, joining with the power from the solar system, the Daleks!”

Revisiting this post of mine after rewatching Galaxy 4 and fixating on the Rills’ phrasing a little. Playing with the Hartnell era’s outdated (often intentionally) or kitschy, already rusted “space-age” approach to cosmology.

The outdated way of viewing galaxies as “island universes,” the idea of “galaxy” and “universe” being interchangeable terms. “Space” as something just as surreal, strange, as “Time,” with multiple dimensions of its own. The reverberation, the haunted humming, of evil and machine monsters tapping into a sort’ve “cosmic unreality.” The night sky endless “island universes” drifting past, beside, and through each other. Different galaxies, sure, but evidently equal as different dimensions, entirely different definitions of “space” and “universe.” Different properties. Dreamlike. Child’s logic.

And this approach to space sort’ve slips away textually with Troughton, replaced with the eerie, spooky sense of vast space, of whole worlds and universes hidden in the folds of humming velvet black, but it still... I dunno.

And it’s all so... empty.

Perhaps, to jump a few eras and (extreme) aesthetics later, distressingly empty.

Doctor Who: The Sontaran Experiment

I rewatched this serial of two parts on 1 March 2023. Happy St David’s day, folx. Oh, and happy 48th anniversary of the first screening on the BBC of part two of this story.

Our heroes arrive on a windswept moor and the Doctor gets to work on repairing the transmat for the people on Nerva Beacon. He tells Sarah and Harry to go wandering — a first! — and of course things are not what they seem. There are astronauts, and a robot, and an alien in the rocks torturing the humans. It’s not long before the alien is revealed to be a Sontaran. This one is Styre, who is experimenting on humans in ways reminiscent of Nazi war crimes.

Fun fact: almost all of the astronauts are played by white South Africans. One of them, Glyn Jones, has the distinction of writing the 1965 Doctor Who serial The Space Museum.
