Another great chat guys. I love how much fun you are having. I remember watching this one recently when Britbox still showed Classic Doctor Who ( in Australia at least. I think Disney may have put an end to that). I very much agree with your views. I love the idea of the "Arse Licking Sensorite"😂. Thanks again for the invitation to join the panel for a chat. Its being seriously considered. If you haven't done so already , I strongly suggest inviting Divining Dragon to sit in. His knowledge is immense and opinions well thought out👍 ps. Ive just noticed you have invited DD he would be great value 👌
Thanks for the positive feedback Doug. These are an absolute joy to do. Yep DD and you have invites so feel free to come back to me whenever you feel comfortable. 🙂👍
Hi Divining Dragon no problem watch it when it’s convenient for you. I am going to be looking at the schedule and potentially putting it out later. Thanks for your support my friend and as said before we will have to get you on at some point to join in the reviews. 👍
@@Sci-FiChronicles79 Watching on replay, I'm reminded that it felt for the first time Susan was both assertive AND 'gifted' as her latent powers came into play. I know how such a gift would be played today, but it seems in 1964 they weren't quite clear on how to capitalize on such a promising element to the story. I'm almost tempted to think--since she'd be gone shortly thereafter, and Hartnell would be gone in two more years, that if they'd TRULY mined that component to give Susan more agency in other stories, that Carole Ann Ford may have been willing to negotiate to stay until the 'end' of Hartnell's run wherein an epic story that combined her departure with his regeneration could have been crafted. However, hindsight is 20-20. Ah, the lost narrative opportunities! I did love the way the sensorites were explored as a culture--just 'uncanny' enough to be disturbing, but still accessible to the audience. And the role of the humans as the 'surprise' sympathetic antagonists feels a bit original to me. Other stories in the future would play with this dynamic, but it seems The Sensorites really explored this for the first time--and the negotiated resolution speaks to the narrative resolutions that would be utilized in classic Star Trek just a few years later. It did remind me of some elements we'd seen previously this season, but still added something distinct and different. Thank you for a terrific stream!
