Impressions: I <3 Liz, the Brigadier is fabulous, and Three has wonderful chemistry with both of them. Additionally, dark AUs are my personal brand of sex, so this serial easily goes on my list of favorites in the classic series, along with "Genesis of the Daleks," and "City of Death."

And I haven't even begun to discuss the tight, suspenseful storyline (no mean feat, in a seven-part arc!) or the kickass secondary characters (and their AU versions!). Kudos, Don Houghton. Kudos.

I'm so glad you liked it! I mean, I knew you would, but after talking it up I wondered if I'd oversold it.

The AU creeps me out to death because there's this thing, with AUs in Doctor Who, where you wonder why those universes don't get a Doctor, and what would happen if we were in one of them? But I still absolutely love it, because they make the AU so dark and dirty and awesome that it's worth the head-hurting. (AU!Benton is TEH SEX, and so is the Brig).

Oh, this was totally worth the hype! In fact, I might add some hype of my own.

Clearly, the universes without the Doctor are missing something major and are that much more doomed for it. *shivers* The grittiness is a major appeal for me, cause a very silly part of me never expects TV made before the nineties to ever go there. I never said my thought process was sane. (Benton and Brig's actors must have had so much fun playing the other end of the spectrum! I could see it in their performance. And dammit, how did I wind up with a millitary fetish?)
