Will you challenge the ticking of his blade or fall to the rhythm of eternity?

Made this video to show a friend how the Govee DreamView T1 Pro bias lights handle late-Pertwee era Dr. Who opening titles. Not bad! #govee #drwho #doctorwho #classicdoctorwho #jonpertwee #timewarrior @goveeofficial.bsky.social

This felt like a modern #DoctorWho series opener. Introducing a new companion was doing to be difficult after Jo. They could easily have had UNIT hire him a replacement but they go with something completely different and it works so much better #TimeWarrior
I remember not being a fan of Rubeish when I last watched this story but he is actually much more entertaining than I remembered him. Not sure if the name was meant to be antiphrasis but he is particularly useful in this story #TimeWarrior
"What subservient poppycock. You're still living in the Middle Ages." I love that line (there are actually a few good comic moments in this story). Elizabeth Sladen really owns this role and delivers the dialogue perfectly #TimeWarrior
I'm not sure about the probic vent. On one hand when Linx explains "it means we must always face our enemies" that sounds logical, but I'm not sure that I really get the whole honourable vibe from Sontarans that I get from Ice Warriors and Draconians #TimeWarrior
While I loved the cover image for episode 1, there is something a little disturbing about this one... #DoctorWho #TimeWarrior
"You're serious, aren't you?" "About what I do, yes. Not necessarily the way I do it" This feels like a much more relaxed Jon Pertwee to me. He seems to be really having fun with this one #TimeWarrior
The smoke bombs are an effective way to allow the Doctor to attack Irongron without actually using weapons, but there is definitely something reminding me of the TV Comics about much of this story #TimeWarrior
I can't believe that it takes nearly 50 years for us to finally get to see a Sontaran on horse back #TimeWarrior
"That's a generous admission. Especially coming from one of the fair sex" I'm going to take this as the Doctor just deliberately trying to wind Sarah up... #TimeWarrior
"Is this Doctor a long shank rascal with a mighty nose?" "Nasty, brutish and short just about sums him up" "that narrow-hipped vixen" what is with all of the personal insults based on these characters appearances all of a sudden #TimeWarrior
Interestingly the fact that the Sontarans have time travel technology doesn't play a bigger role in the show. When the technology is developed by the Daleks it becomes a focus of their stories. I feel like time travelling Sontarans is somewhat overlooked #TimeWarrior
"Ah, yes. A race of great technical achievement, but lacking the morale to withstand a determined assault"
It's interesting that the Sontarans have detailed knowledge of the Time Lords. Their God like status continues to be watered down little by little #TimeWarrior
Linx: What is your native planet?
Doctor: Gallifrey. I am a Time Lord
Well, you wait 10 years to find out where the Doctor is from and then the answer is dropped casually in the middle of a fairly standard comic romp #TimeWarrior
As companion introductions go I don't think it gets much better than this. Elizabeth Sladen nails the part from the very beginning and delivers a brilliant performance in every scene #TimeWarrior
I can actually sympathise with Professor Rubeish here. Without glasses or contacts I would be exactly the same #TimeWarrior
"Ah, I understand. You have a primary and secondary reproductive cycle. It is an inefficient system, you should change it" At times they may have overplayed the comedy with Strax but even in the first story there are hints of the same humour #TimeWarrior
The scenes with Sarah not believing she has travelled in time make for great comedy (and yet at the same time remind me of the realistic reaction of Ian). Still they would have worked even better had she been kidnapped by Linx not hiding in the TARDIS #DoctorWho #TimeWarrior
Sometimes BBC iPlayer have some really nice cover images on these episodes #TimeWarrior
This is a solid Sontaran design. I like the prosthetic, the fact the eyes are clearly visible and the ability to stick out his tongue is oddly off-putting. I'm not sure it works as a cliffhanger though #TimeWarrior
I'm not going to pretend that Sarah is very well characterised with a full backstory from the off but after a few minutes I feel we know her better than we did say Dodo when she left. The Aunt Lavinia stuff definitely works better after watching SJA #TimeWarrior
If I was watching at the time I would have been worried they wouldn't be able to find anyone to follow Jo Grant, but this new companion Sarah Jane seems like she might be alright actually... #TimeWarrior
"Well, I'd rather a bright idea...All my eggs in one basket, so to speak" Not entirely convinced by this plan...also not sure if it just the lighting but Nicholas Courtney really doesn't look very well to me #TimeWarrior
While I like all of the stuff with Linx, for some reason the rest of it always feels more like a medieval fair (not helped by Sarah later pointing this out) than a Hartnell or Troughton historical #TimeWarrior
I like the Sontarans introduction. There are no battle fleets and invading armies, just a single soldier in a tiny space craft. Despite this Linx has a commanding presence from the first scene and I find myself oddly sympathetic towards him #TimeWarrior
