So I've watched a few more stories.
I saw The Time Meddler, which was an interesting one for having another (as of yet still unnamed race) Timelord with his own TARDIS. Nice idea, and decent execution, although a bit slow, and the obvious absence of Hartnell in one episode didn't help.
While I've tried checking out the audio-only episodes without proper video, I just couldn't sit through it, which unfortunately means a lot of skipping, which will be even more sad once I get to the second Doctor.
It's also bad timing with companions seemingly coming and going every time I watch one. What the hell is a Dodo?
So I skipped right to The Ark after that, which I enjoyed. I knew the Monoids were going to turn as soon as I first saw them, although it played out differently and better than I expected, and the statue reveal was coo. Reminded me a bit of Planet of the Apes. I liked the idea of following up on this generational spaceship at a later time. Classic scifi. Also a great use of scale models and forced perspective. Very crafty effects.
