Potato Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Time for a new discussion, so let's finish off Season 5: Enemy of the World: In Australia the TARDIS crew is attacked by a hovercraft and rescued by Astrid. Her boss, Giles Kent, explains that the Doctor is a double of would-be world dictator Salamander. The Doctor impersonates Salamander to rescue Jamie and Zoe and Salamander impersonates the Doctor to try and steal the TARDIS. Salamander is ejected into the Time Vortex when he causes the TARDIS to dematerialize with the doors still open. Web of Fear: London is deserted and the TARDIS crew meet Professor Travers who confesses that he has reactivated a robot Yeti. This has brought back the Great Intelligence. Yeti are at large in the underground which is being invaded by a cobwebby substance. They meet up with the commander of the Army unit that is trying to combat this threat, Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart and eventually help him defeat the Great Intelligence, which manages to escape being drained away by the Doctor when his friends "rescue" him from the Intelligence. Fury from the Deep: The Doctor and his companions are suspected of sabotage at a North Sea gas refinery. The actual problem turns out to be a parasitic sea weed, which the Doctor discovers is sensitive to sound. They defeat the menace by using amplifying the screams of the Doctor's companion Victoria who then decides to leave the TARDIS. Wheel in Space: The Doctor and Jamie arrive on an abandoned rocket in orbit around a giant Space Wheel (or Space Station). They are taken aboard the Wheel for questioning and they soon discover that Cybermats have invaded the Wheel. The Cybermen are planning to use the Wheel to invade Earth. With the help of the young astrophysicist, Zoe Herriot, the Doctor saves the Wheel from a metorite shower and destroys the Cybership by boosting the Wheel's laser Cannon. Zoe decides to join the Doctor and Jamie on their travels, but first the Doctor forces her to watch a mental projection of "Evil of the Daleks".

roach Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Doesn't Wheel also crossover with The Two Doctors? I think I remember something like that, though The two Doctors has continuity problems of its own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drken Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Well, in The Two Doctors Jamie is the doctor's only companion. So if a linear time-line is assumed, the Two doctors took place (for the second doctor) in between Fury of the Deep, when Victoria left, and The Wheel in Space, where Zoe joins the them.

Potato Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 Except that the Doctor specifically refers to Victoria as being off to study Graphology and Jamie wonders if they'll ever get back to her. Not to mention all the Time Lords stuff that Jamie shouldn't know about. No could we jump back on topic and talk about the episodes listed above, please.

Fenriswolf Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Since I'm back and finally back for good, not a problem. However if you could PM when you put up a Classic Potato, that would help. So I don't miss one if it vanishes to the bottom of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
