Rich's Comix Blog/YMMV


 * Alternate Character Interpretation: In Seeds of Destruction, Five takes Peri to an unknown garden world instead of Pasadena, as he clearly doesn't want to go to California, and Peri takes offense. According to Landry Walker, who wrote the story, the well-intentioned Fifth Doctor was prone to sarcasm, exasperation, and tactlessness on the show--something that people don't remember when they think about Five--but he was also just as equally apologetic when he realized his faults (which gave him the general reputation as the "nice" Doctor). The balance of these attributes, Walker says, is what made Peter Davison's Doctor a multi-dimensional character.
 * A few pages later Five does indeed seem sorry, it's just that by then the plot's kicked in.

 * A Time To Kill: The Tenth Doctor and Donna meet James Bond. Full stop.

 * And the title:   .
 * Les Yay:
 * Nightmare Fuel: In Forever Janette, LaCroix catches up with the killer, shoots him, beheads him, and puts the head on a pike. Later, Yikes.
 * Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Forever Janette pits the Master (who still has Cheetah Planet powers from "Survival") in a brawl against LaCroix. They're evenly matched, and the brawl ends
 * They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Rich missed the opportunity to feature a moment where the Stingers return from their tour, only to find  A truly epic "what the fuck?!" moment.
 * The Woobie: Stormer in Outrage. She gets interrupted when she's about to tell Kimber her true feelings, and later on when she tries to take Kimber out for a soda, Kimber lets slip that she already has a date planned with Sean. Stormer runs off, knowing that the other Misfits--her only friends--won't console her (and she doubts that the Misfits will even stay together following ). She ends up alone in an alleyway, heartbroken and distraught, and crying her eyes out. Thankfully, it gets better for her:
