I feel like today is another one of those days where my answer could easily depend on my mood, so I had to set myself some criteria. The best way I could think to do it was to narrow the entire list down to just the stories I would watch for, say, comfort viewing. I’m…

Day 25: The Most Impossible Situation from which the Doctor Escaped (Classic Edition)
Invasion of the Dinosaurs is the much maligned second story of Season 11, written by Malcolm Hulke and directed by Paddy Russell.* Now, I’m sure you’re all laughing and wondering how the hell I can be serious about this. And thinking mainly of the totally unconvincing effects used to create the dinosaurs (such as they…
Day 24: Favorite Season (Classic Edition)
Okay, I’m honestly sort of regretting ever wanting to do this challenge in the first place. I am, by nature, horribly indecisive and once forced into a decision, I will nearly always second guess myself and/or feel a sort of soul-crushing guilt for not choosing something else. Today is one of those days. In thinking…
Day 17: Saddest Moment (Classic Edition)

Day 12: Favorite Outfit of the Doctor (New Who Edition)
You just audibly gasped just now. I heard it. “New Who Edition??” No, I didn’t label it wrong. And yes, you did read it correctly. Erin and I thought we’d be a bit cheeky today and mix things up a bit. For reasons. Picking a favorite Doctor outfit is nearly as impossible as claiming a…
Day 3: My First Doctor (Classic Edition)
I’m going to preface this by saying that it’s getting a tiny bit embarrassing that Erin’s answers have been somewhat varied by era, whereas I seem to be stuck in the early 1970s. However, if I wasn’t still stuck there today, my answer wouldn’t be completely honest. My first Classic Doctor, and, in fact, my first…
