a fun effect note. Turlough's crystal. Today he would simple have a battery operated LED light, but in 1983 they couldn't get a battery operated light that small, bright enough to get the desired effect, so he had a power cord going up his arm and down his back. And the light itself would get very hot. So it is never on very long

So, I used to do a Doctor Who podcast called 'Terminus' (RIP, I'll try to revive it sometime) -- which was half-named for this story and half-named after one of the early names for Atlanta (where I live). It's not actually one of my faves, I just liked the Atlanta connection (and having the whole 'WE'RE ON A LEPER SHIP, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIEEEEE' in my podcast opening), but because I was a Doctor Who podcaster with a show called 'Terminus', I was often invited onto other people's shows to talk about this story. Anyway, because of that, I've gotten to know the plot quite well. And with that, it's really begun to grow on me over time, especially when you deep dive into the Norse Mythology elements. Which as a mythology nerd, I'm TOTALLY here for. (I also think it's a great Nyssa story, who is my fave companion with Fivey, so there's that too). Anyway, this story has definitely become sentimental to me, so it's always nice to revisit. Plus, I love the Garm and just want to cuddle him, always. #gooddog
