Agreed, Mind Robber is fantastic. I'm also quite fond of The War Games.

I recently got the DVD "Lost in Time", which contains a selection of orphan episodes from the Troughton and Hartnell eras - great stuff, most of which I'd never seen before. "The Crusades" episodes from Hartnell were particularly impressive, as were the episodes you named.

Yes I have the same set. I can only tell you how nice it is to see these episodes properly restored after years of watching muddy bootleg videotapes...

The Faceless Ones right now are my personal fav of the orphaned episodes. I still have yet to see Part One of the Crusade. But I shall get to it- still hopping around, era to era....

BTW I read you're in the L.A. area. So am I. Are you going to the Pasadena recpetion for Adam and Nathon in March?

I'm definitely going to try, I don't know what my schedule will be like, but I should be able to make it.

I'm also planning to go to the Gallifrey convention in February in Burbank - Elisabeth Sladen will be there. Mmmmm......Sarah Jane Smith.......

Yeah I'll be stopping by Gallifrey One in Febuary as well. Kicking myself I missed it last year when paul McGann showed up. He seems like a cool guy, would have liked to have said hello.

I met Ms. Sladen at Visions '93 waaayyy back. Good Con. I remember my personal highlight was having a picture taken with Sophie Aldred and Nicola Bryant. I was kinda surprised how short they were in real life. I remember also my brother was ticked off because we made him wait an hour while my friend and I watched the then-new Dimensions in Time followed by two *brand *new episodes of Red Dwarf Series VI.

Well I suppose this gives me an excuse to actually wear my 4th Doctor costume around a crowd of people who will know who I am - you should have heard some of the horrible guesswork I got from folks on halloween. Dr. Who sad to say is long out of any mainstream conciousness here in L.A. in this day and age.

Aside from the Pasadena reception, are there any other L.A. Browncoat shindigs of any kind?

I sense a Dr. Who/Firefly crossover should happen in the fanfic realm here. Or if not that definately a B7/Firefly crossover. The universes don't entirely mix, but what the hell, sounds like fun....

A B7/FF crossover is a great idea.... I am DYING to get B7 on DVD, but they haven't announced a region 1 date that I'm aware of. (I know I could get a region-free player, but I do like to have money for food, etc.)

I loaned my Tom Baker scarf to a friend of mine who went as the good Doctor for Halloween this year - nobody knew who he was, either. Sigh. Maybe the new series will help, if the effects are improved.

I think B7 and FF are well suited for each other. I may have to work on this idea down the line if I can ever get my other fanfics finished. I'm horrible without a deadline.

Yeah I got a great bonus two years ago so I spurged on a decent low model regionless player and have already bought Series 1 and 2 of Blake fomr the UK. Really wonderful remastering job. Could have wished for a few more extras but oh well. I just figured we're gonna be waiting a while for the Region 1 release and I've already bought several PAL sets of other series so... why not keep going?

I'd love to swap some pics of 4th Dcotor costume pics. Took me ages to throw mine togther- that coat was impossible to find! Been meaning to upgrade and get a custom hat done up but as you say.. need money to eat... and buy things like Firefly and B7 on DVD...lol.

I love the idea of a Doctor Who / Firefly crossover fanfic. I might work on that, unless you want to do so yourself (I don't want to knick your idea).
That is if i ever get the time (get it? time? heheh... oh never mind). Not enough hours in the day any more *Corncobb slunks into a corner to waste time grumbling about his lack of free time*

Hmmm. No go ahead and run with it. I may try and tinker with a B7 crossover..... or maybe for pure giggles a greatest American hero crossover but I don't think the universes meld very well. Dr. Who would be great but which Doctor? The 4th would be fun but I think the 2nd or Third would be interesting as well.

And get out of the corner already!

We're watching Dr. Who and the Daleks right now. It's great fun to hear Jake poking fun at it.

He said something about wanting some elvish shoes and purple eyeshadow.

Awwww. Starting out with the Peter Cushing movie... man, you need to get that man some Tom Baker stat. Ark in Space, Pyramids of Mars- - add them on the queue when he's not looking. That'll get him to give the good Doctor a little respect....

And if not, at least you get to watch some sweet episodes in the meantime.
