Wow this is a marathon. At Ep 8. I have never seen this before. I can see
where people would think the War Chief may be the master, And Zoe is really
hot. I may have had 1 to many 9.1% alcohol stouts though :(

I still maintain that the hottest shots of Zoe are of her sitting on
the spinning console at the end of episode 1 of Mind Robber

I have to ask if it is possible to have too many 9.1% alcohol stouts
though?

Regards

I'm sober and I agree with you. :)

I heard War Games was tedious but it's GREAT! Really one of the best
Troughton stories and the ten episodes work fine. Good acting all round.

They really should have later said The Master was a regenerated War
Chief though. The performances and m.o. are very similar.

I never really got the Zoe thing that a lot of ye go on about. (Maybe
because it was all b/w back then?) Now Jo Grant I got! :-)

I thought it was a bit dragged out myself. Nothing untypical of TV back
then though. It's still an epic Doctor Who story. One of the better
Troughton stories.

Maybe it will be retconned one day? As it's true that the War Chief could
easily pass for an earlier Master. (Which is what the role basically was.)
So wouldn't it be good if a future Master TV story had him refer to
himself as the "War Chief" in a throwaway line'?!!

I didn't get the Zoe thing when I was a kid but now I do. Yeah, Jo Grant
was always a hottie.

The fans have retconned it in their minds for years. ;-) Not canon of
course.

I never though Jo was all that good looking... I think it was the 70's
style... Or maybe it was the apparent age. When I saw Zoe for the
first time, she was closer to my age, whereas Jo appeared noticeably
older than me.

And, of course, its hard to change first impressions!

We wouldn't have been old enough to buy the magazine when it came out. But
I'm sure that issue got well worn in your hands at some stage! :-)

They may as well do. His posts are plentiful and brief, even for
Twitter's 140 character limit, and generally pointless even by Twitter
standards. "Shitting out Tweets" would sum it up.
