#WhoWatch S1E30 - The Day Of Darkness

Been a while since we've been in the shadows, which is always where this show shines brightest, ironically. The crossfades are good too.

#WhoWatch S1E29 - The Bride Of Sacrifice

Ixta's "stealth and cunning" is genuinely some of the most impressive double-cross work yet in a show that, other than The Keys Of Marinus, runs on double-crosses. I genuinely didn't see the whole thing coming.

#WhoWatch S1E28 - The Warriors Of Death

Really that title just seems redundant.

#WhoWatch S1E27 - The Temple Of Evil

Glad Barbara's history education is being put to use but I'm really apprehensive of a Doctor Who arc called The Aztecs.

#WhoWatch S1E26 - The Keys Of Marinus

Blast, right when I was almost done I closed the whole browser and lost the thread. So just one post: Why do they code the justice system segment so strongly as Nazis with swastikas and all, if they're just going to handshake them as reasonable and respectable?

#WhoWatch S1E25 - Sentence Of Death

Okay, so we've had medieval aesthetics, crystal pyramid aesthetics, Roman aesthetics, and now not-quite-Nazi aesthetics. All of history is happening at once on Marinus.

#WhoWatch S1E24 - The Snows Of Terror

This is just like "By The Law," the 1926 Kuleshov film. In that three people are sequestered from the unsurvivable snowy winter in a wooden cabin.

#WhoWatch S1E23 - The Screaming Jungle

"I do wish Ian wouldn't treat us like Dresden china." Barbara correctly calling out the structural misogyny of the plots.

#WhoWatch S1E22 - The Velvet Web

I like how they can just open a door and they're in a Roman-style villa waited on by servants. Literally anything could be around any corner in this show.

#WhoWatch S1E21 - The Sea Of Death

First man in rubber suit! Love the triangle theming of the set, shades of the great Dalek serial set design. Also they are absolutely walking barefoot on glass.

#WhoWatch S1E17 - The Wall Of Lies

This cave is reportedly full of evil spirits, but the gang were regarded as evil spirits at first too.

#WhoWatch S1E16 - The Cave Of Five Hundred Eyes

Might be the best episode name ever, even though it promises more cave...

#WhoWatch S1E15 - The Shifting Sands

"Both difficult and bad-tempered." Yup, that's him!

#WhoWatch S1E14 - The Roof Of The World

I love this opening unlike anything we've seen with all the cross-dissolves and the subtitle telling us where and when we are, for once not following directly on from the shot of the prior episode. Nicely disorienting!

#WhoWatch S1E13 - The Brink Of Destruction

It's time for the Dr. Who finale everyone is talking about, the finale to The Edge Of Destruction!

It may be the weekend, but #WHOWatch does not rest.

Image of People's Health Movement statement on NCDs at the World Health Assembly. Test reads: NCDs cannot be addressed in isolation from social, economic and commercial determinants of health. Neoliberal economic policies, particularly with the increasing power of big corporations, have significantly, both directly and indirectly, contributed to the rise of NCDs in developed and developing countries. Impoverishing policies adopted by MS, in the name of trade liberalisation and attracting foreign investment, need to be examined in light of their impact on population health. We urge Member States to adopt institutional mechanisms that undertake such evaluations. We call for stronger regulation of private sector practices, particularly those of transnational corporations, to protect population health. This includes controls over production, marketing and advertising of their products, particularly food, confectionary, and tobacco related products.

Our #WHOWatch team hard at work in Geneva casting a critical eye on the #WorldHealthAssembly and bringing a radical, grassroots critique to global health governance. #WHA78 #HealthForAll

Our #WHOWatch team is bringing our critique of militarism, genocide and aggression to the streets, on the margins of the World Health Assembly in Geneva.

At #WHA78 tomorrow, Palestine is on the agenda. We are demanding safety for health workers and an end to the occupation. #NotATarget

This is legit me whenever I find an actor in #StarWars (particularly #Andor) that was ALSO in #DoctorWho. 😅 #WhoWatch

#WhoWatch S1E12 - The Edge Of Destruction

I gotta pick up the pace... If I do one serial a month I think that puts me at slightly slower than real life, and there's just not enough life for that.

#WhoWatch S1E11 - The Rescue

Their cliffhanger between the episodes was a literal cliffhanger...

#WhoWatch S1E10 - The Ordeal

"What happened?" "It must have happened very quickly." It's effective to leave the cause of death so comprehensively ambiguous.

#WhoWatch S1E9 - The Expedition

The Daleks once again are watching Dr. Who on their TVs. (This time they're specifically watching telesnaps.) Their security camera usage has been repeatedly underlined as a major aspect of them, really.

#WhoWatch S1E8 - The Ambush

Susan's quick thinking and little wink to the audience is good. I'm just happy whenever Susan gets literally anything to do at this point.

A man with blonde hair and a turtle shell robe looks down his nose.

#WhoWatch S1E7 - The Escape

"Don't be afraid," says this guy, but the soundtrack and framing tells us otherwise. Dr. Who is a horror show. Everyone is pretty much constantly afraid.

#WhoWatch S1E6 - The Survivors

This episode is confident enough in your memory of last week's odd tense interlude building up to the cliffhanger that when it replays the end of the prior episode it cuts off before the blood-curdling scream.

#WhoWatch S1E5 - The Dead Planet

Nice set design!

The initial set-up once again sees Dr. Who leaving the Tardis to conduct a gentle scientific investigation of the environment. You get the sense that all else being equal this is what he does.
