I looked it up after and yes it was I’m not sure I actually watched that episode though had watched many classic ones.
One day I’ll actually watch them all, classic and ones I mean. The older ones are a bit ummm more difficult to enjoy the same way. Always thought Capaldi was short changed in that his two parters, were less interesting than many single episodes of new who but they did try. And mostly I thought it was writing not acting that held them back,Capaldi rocked. But I did like they tried, cause so many old whos were least 4 parters if not more and people were asking but I don’t think they had the proper mindset to stretch it out even half as well.
Edit also don’t mind me, I just think the Doctor is one of the best characters/heroes of all fiction…he always does the best he can to save all he can. Mean it’s cheesy but gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when the story only gives so many options.
if only we could all push for what that character said was good. It’d make a better world.
Okay not a direct comparison but if I was playing a Paradox grand strategy game and the neighbor country started getting all fascist / authoritarian, I would want to group with like minded nations for protection. Hey we’re already in a defense treaty with them why not make it a more inclusive type agreement? Personally I always felt culturally closer to the UK (yes I know not there anymore) than the US and thought many of our policies mirrored the US due to location and held us back.
