"You're wrong, Doctor. I have life again. You destroyed my TARDIS, but I shall build another. Expect me on Gallifrey soon.", Omega, "Arc of Infinity" So the Renegade was Omega (from way back in season 10). It's nice to get a historical villian back. I guess we should thank fan/consultant Ian Levine, who apparently suggested Omega for the story. And really fun to have Peter getting to play the duplicate villian for a while in Part 4. And he gets to act wearing disgusting makeup (although by the stage of the evil sparking costume stuff it was Ian Collier again). I do like some of the location filming moments in Amsterdam: like when the Doctor has to methodically empty his pockets to try to find some change for the phone call. Incidentally, that scene at the phone box is when we can spot the producer, JNT, with an unplanned cameo in the background attempting to control the crowd of onlookers. I also like the moment with Nyssa and Tegan when the chef is knocked over and they attempts to help before the Doctor reminds them that unfortunately they can't help because they still have a vital search for Omega to make. Come on - this is a chase scene - we have to continue the chase! And the quiet moment when the young boy pushes past Omega and that situation could be really bad situation - but the boy smiles and Omega smiles back. He's not purely a one-note villain here - he can enjoy having a body again. So you liked Maxil's feathered helmet? Colin gave it a name - Ermintrude. "Didn't I tell you? I got the sack. So you're stuck with me, aren't you.", Tegan, "Arc of Infinity" Yes, we're stuck with Tegan. Isn't that wonderful!!

This is where you can really see the show having gone on so long that it's starting to disappear into its own continuity, playing more for the long time fans and not caring so much about bringing on new people, who would just be as confused as people just were at Sutekh about the show making such a big deal about Omega's return without ever bothering to explain him for people who hadn't caught The Three Doctors a whole decade earlier (and in a time with no Internet and even with home viewing in its infancy). This was a big part of why viewership started steadily dwindling at this point, until the audience was "three blokes and a dog" by the time it was initially cancelled. I also really have to laugh at how anyone thought we'd be surprised at Hedin being a bad guy. Even if you didn't know Michael Gough as the Toymaker, in these days before the Batman movies he was known pretty much entirely as a villain actor, and they don't even bother to hide his voice. And then he's killed immediately after the reveal anyway, so what was even the point?

Jess it would be great if you only did reactions once a fortnight, or only one ep a week, (but I get you'd get hate for that). But I don't know how I'll cope when you're caught up. :'( At least you're continuing with new who which gives me something to look forward to (even though i've heard it's bad). :(
