I’m like 3 stories into the 5th Doctor and while like the TARDIS team didn’t initially work for me. It all made sense when I watched Four To Doomsday when Tegan knocks Adric out followed by the Doctor nearly getting shot, proceeded by him being 5 steps away from beating Adric to death, Nyssa is just standing there while the show keeps comedically intercutting to Tegan’s growing hysteria and mania at trying to work out the TARDIS controls and she somehow succeeds.

This was the moment I realised that the actual dynamic is that all of them loathe each other, and everything was good.

Four to Doomsday 1982

3/10

My least favorite Fifth Doctor episode. Excellent idea, poor execution. Of course I adore all Classic Who, but to be fair and compare to other episodes I gave it a 3.

This is my rare OTP.

With Nyssa's whole "notice me senpai" attitude in Snakedance, you can't convince me there wasn't something there.

I will defend this ship until the day I die.

Ooh, the little drop in Five's voice when he says Nyssa is from Traken. Traken, which no longer exists since Logopolis.

Four to Doomsday

Its the episode with the Tegan meme!!!

What a strong serial though, I loved it. The mystery was fun but didnt overstay its welcome, every character had moments to shine, and the whole thing was a scathing non-subtle takedown of colonialism and the tourism industry

Having the villains kidnap humans from various times and cultures and forcing them to perform for them is one level of explicit, but the fact that the villains names were Enlightenment, Persuasion, and fucking Monarch was the icing on the cake

I liked the subtler parts of the script that condemned colonialism the most though, because there were a TON of decisions made to help strengthen the more in-your-face aspects of the allegory.

Adric being swayed to their side shows how even people with good intentions can be won over to an inherently evil system when they're impressed by its propaganda. Tegan, being from a country thats been absolutely ravished by colonialism (including being shown to speak an Aboriginal language,) was the only one who explicitly and fiercely said "no fuck this I will not have any part in it." Even the Doctor was made a part of it, using a racist cricket term offhandedly before realizing what exactly he had just said

Its an important lesson for using scifi as an allegory; limiting your story to JUST the obvious stuff will weaken it. Finding ways to include the main cast in expanding those issues will make your story much stronger and help those themes flourish
