Episode 4: Step Up Your Terrorism Game (Time Squad)

I think we need to reevaluate our jokes.

Terry Nation has, predictably, already run out of ideas. It’s only episode 4! It gets even worse next week, episode 5 he somehow rips off all sorts of nonsense. Man this show went downhill fast. It’s Time Squad, written by Terry Nation and aired on January 23, 1978.

Show-notes:

0:39 Lot of good stuff, including Face of Evil and Shaaaadaaaaaaa.
27:42 According to Wikipedia, a black box is “a device, system, or object which can be viewed in terms of” oh wow I’m already bored.

143: Pretty Badly Choreographed (The Mark of the Rani)

I question whether the choreographers even knew how to read a choreograph.

So, the universe is populated by more rogue time lords than we thought. Seriously, every week it feels like they add another one. This time it’s The Mark of the Rani, written by Pip and Jane Baker and aired in February of 1985.

Show-notes:

5:33 Yup.
5:49 Another 30 seconds on google only brought up Doctor Who stuff, so I guess it’s a totally original name. This blog gives an explanation of the name (using this as a source) but who knows how true it is? Either way, I really like “Parabola Rainbow Moondancer Galadriel.” That should have been her name.
12:54 The wiki lists a lot more, including Susan and Drax. How could we have forgotten Drax?
16:16 This one. I almost forgot how not good at all Family Guy is.
22:33 No!! NOOO!!!!
32:53 Yeah, it’s a gyroscope.
