Season 2: a retrospective

Opening:  Or so I wish.


Best episode: Technically speaking, it's probably The Dalek Invasion of Earth, but I definitely had the most FUN watching "The Chase," despite the fact that it's sort of a plotless clusterfuck.

Worst episode:  Ug.

Best companion win: Let's be honest here.  Barbara jacked a fire truck.

Worst companion fail:  Probably Vicki accidentally poisoning the Caesar. 

Best monster: Take your pick.  Incidentally, these are also the WORST monsters.

Best Dalek defeat: Wow.  This is the season the brought us both "smashing a Dalek with a fire truck" and "Frankenstein's Monster lifts a dalek over his head, smashes it to the ground, and then beats on it with his enormous hairy fists."  Impossible to choose one, and probably the best season for Dalek-stomping.  And all this ignores the time a Dalek failed to kill a ween from Alabama.  

Best Doctor Pic: No contest. Additionally, though it's not technically a pic: HELL YES.

Best Quote: "That is the dematerializing control. And that, over yonder, is the horizontal hold. Up there is the scanner, those are the doors, that is a chair with a panda on it. Sheer poetry, dear boy! Now please stop bothering me."


New series bonus round: Probably the Doctor's unholy alliance with a girl who takes her clothes off for money.

Animated gif bonus round: The Meddling Monk, master of deception.
