The Seeds of Death

meddowI finished The Seeds of Death and am still very much in love with Jamie. There's a scene in the fifth episode in which Zoe and Miss Kelly and busy discussing something technical and Jamie sits there and fidgets. I don't know why I love that moment, I just do.
Best bit had to be the fifth episode cliff-hanger with the foam fungus. There's nothing quite like watching the Doctor struggle for his life against foam and balloons. That must have been ridiculously fun to film. Generally, I enjoyed it more than I did The Invasion and I really need to watch more Two.
I know I say this nearly every time I come across a Classic Who monster, but I'd really like to see the Ice Warriors make an appearance in the New Series. Actually, I can't believe they haven't been at least referenced in series four since I'd think the Doctor would enjoy introducing Donna to an actual Martian.
What really needs to exist is a Two-Ten run in with Jamie, Zoe and Donna along for the ride. Ten, Two and Zoe can argue about who's the smartest and Jamie and Donna can sit back, snark at their respective Doctors for a while and then wander off and save the day. And then top it off with a big dose of mind-wipe angst (after Journey's End I'm in no hurry to watch The War Games)
Next up is Time-Flight which I've heard is a bit rubbish, but I've told myself that if I watch Time-Flight I can watch Arc of Infinity, which I've heard if a very good Nyssa serial.

Dude, have I given you my screeching ramble about how much I LOVE ICE WARRIORS?! They give the term Martian clarity of meaning! They have sssspectacular voiccccessss! And they aren't just villains! It's part of a broader culture! Watch The Curse of Peladon, listen to the audio Red Dawn, and...I LOVE ICE WARRIORS.
Time-Flight's actually pretty decent for Nyssa, too. And I liked it. I mean, in that I recognize it's silly, but it was fun. And Arc and the following story, Snakedance, are great for Nyssa.
