#The Edge of destruction

My favourite early Doctor Who episode plot is maybe the one where a physical spring on the TARDIS gets stuck so it decides to alert the crew to that fact by psychically making them want to stab each other with scissors

Honestly the First Doctor's era was iconic because they decided to have a main character show not only thigh but underwear in the third story of the entire show and was it either of the female companions???

NO. It was the dude. Ian Chesterton you will always be famous to me.

You’re telling me the third classic who serial is a psychological thriller/mystery that I skipped on my first watch through because I thought it had a bunch of missing episodes when in reality it’s actually just a two-parter????? I’m hyped now this is sick

SUSAN: “I can't, Mister Chesterton. You can't simply work on three of the dimensions.”

IAN: “Three of them? Oh, time being the fourth dimension, I suppose? Then what do you need E for? What do you make the fifth dimension?”

SUSAN: “Space.”

“DOCTOR: Yes, the planet Quinnis, of the fourth universe.”

VICKI: “Time [fourth dimension], like space [fifth dimension], though a dimension in itself, has dimensions of its own.” 

THE RILLS: “Though we are beings of separate planets, you from the solar system and we from another space, our ways of thought, at times, do not seem all that different.”

MALPHA: “Suppose they send a message through this universe?”

[...]

MALPHA: “This is indeed an historic moment in the history of the universe. We six from the outer galaxies, joining with the power from the solar system, the Daleks!”

Revisiting this post of mine after rewatching Galaxy 4 and fixating on the Rills’ phrasing a little. Playing with the Hartnell era’s outdated (often intentionally) or kitschy, already rusted “space-age” approach to cosmology. 

The outdated way of viewing galaxies as “island universes,” the idea of “galaxy” and “universe” being interchangeable terms. “Space” as something just as surreal, strange, as “Time,” with multiple dimensions of its own. The reverberation, the haunted humming, of evil and machine monsters tapping into a sort’ve “cosmic unreality.” The night sky endless “island universes” drifting past, beside, and through each other. Different galaxies, sure, but evidently equal as different dimensions, entirely different definitions of “space” and “universe.” Different properties. Dreamlike. Child’s logic. 

And this approach to space sort’ve slips away textually with Troughton, replaced with the eerie, spooky sense of vast space, of whole worlds and universes hidden in the folds of humming velvet black, but it still... I dunno. 

And it’s all so... empty. 

Perhaps, to jump a few eras and (extreme) aesthetics later, distressingly empty.

Doctor Who: The Edge of Destruction

Season One ✨ 1963 - 1964 ✨

Doctor: 1st

Story Length: 2 Episodes

Companions: Susan, Barbara and Ian

Main Setting:The Tardis

Main Enemy: n/a

Creatures: n/a

My Personal Rating: 7/10

As they slowly recover from the shock of being thrown to the TARDIS floor, the Doctor, Susan, Ian and Barbara all start acting strangely. Unexplained events occur and the travellers start to turn on each other as they contemplate what is happening on the TARDIS. Source.

I actually adored this story, the story is completely set in the Tardis, after being thrown about in the Tardis, the Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Susan start acting strangely. And bizarre things happen to each of them. And hilariously the only thing wrong was something to do with the Tardis, no creature like we are led to believe.

Personally I love any episode which is mostly set in the Tardis, and it's so cool to see the different things on board.

(Please don't take these too seriously, I am not a real life reviewer, just someone who likes the show)

Finally finished the Edge of Destruction and I can’t believe that the whole problem was a stuck button. That is hilarious.
