#DoctorWhoMarathon Ep 386 - The Ark in Space 1/4 (Serial 4C Story 76) - 25 Jan 1975. #DoctorWho 1/2

This is one that's recognized as a true classic. I always enjoyed it, but thought it didn't deserve the pedestal it sat on. I'll be using the Blu-Ray version w/new SFX. This one pic.twitter.com/I7i732ozol

probably peak Robert Holmes. Liz of course gets immediately separated from The Doctor & Harry. All of this ep is our crew exploring the station - nobody else in this episode. pic.twitter.com/eLHFXsbgy1

We finally have more people in the ep when one of the sleepers revives. Sarah got herself entombed in the last ep. This almost feels like a budget episode as the bulk of this takes pic.twitter.com/hwUASBd4LB

place in just a couple of rooms. The not knowing what's going on plays well here. Our crew is accused of removing one of the sleepers. Noah's contaminated by the green bubble wrap. pic.twitter.com/Vb6RPPnb9H

The Commander realizes he's being taken over by the Wirrn (with bubble wrap), and orders Vira to take command. She works with the Doctor to figure out what they're up against with pic.twitter.com/oiF69ZHEAb

the Wirrn. We get a lot more of the sleepers awake this ep. The Doctor links his mind to the Wirrn to try and figure out how to defeat them. This is a "make a strategy" episode. pic.twitter.com/P77dN3rDNS

This ep is mostly the revived sleepers and our crew figuring out how to get power back so they can get rid od the Wirrn and save everyone's lives - and the sleeping human race. pic.twitter.com/z7Ju03Grec

This was enjoyable, but I still don't think it's "legendary". It's also "small". So much takes place in just 3 rooms. New SFX on blu-ray seem to be only for space station shots. pic.twitter.com/fV9M0AjfDh
