One fat geek's SUCCESSFUL attempt to regenerate into a not-so-fat geek by watching the entirety of Doctor Who while walking on a treadmill

Fifty Pounds!

Fifty Pounds!

So, the big news today: This morning for the first time since I began this project, I weighed in at more than fifty pounds lighter than when I started this project. I am very, very happy with this result. The days of losing two and three pounds per week are far behind me, all of the easy progress has already been had, at this point it is a battle to make any kind of incremental progress. Which, I feel amazing, so I am happy with what I have accomplished so far. But I am also greedy and want a little bit more. Go figure. Anyway, I also watched the back half of The Android Invasion today.

Let's talk about that.

The Android Invasion - Parts 3 & 4

(TARDIS Data Core recap)

Part three consists of wrapping up the fake English village storyline via high explosive, and getting everyone on board a rocket headed to Earth. Part four has that rocket arrive in an improbably quick manner, and then a fair bit of "no I'm the real Doctor" shenanigans before buttoning things up. I didn't like the resolution quite as much as the setup, but it was still a very good story on the whole.

It was particularly nice to get in one last visit with Harry Sullivan and Sergeant Warrant Officer Benton. At this point John Levene had been regularly appearing as Benton since 1968's The Invasion a full seven years earlier. The only ongoing character (besides the Doctor, of course) to have appeared earlier than that is the Brigadier himself. There are only four more stories left with Sarah Jane Smith, after which point the UNIT era will be completely closed - at least for the classic series.

Tomorrow's new story is basically a riff on Frankenstein. That should be interesting.
