    KBTC is showing the second Doctor "War Games" I'd forgoten just how
    good it was.

    The best ever of Troughton. Still amazing stuff.

    I'll have to somewhat disagree. It has the best *bits* of Troughton, I concur. But it's just too long for anyone to maintain a totally
    consistent quality throughout.

    Or rather, maybe it's just too long, full stop.

    I like long-form stories better. It gives time to develope the new
    charaters and world.

    This is sort of like the Key to Time Season. Different scenarios
    and you can develop new world. Note that DW can be Earth centric.

    Good point. After all, The Android Invasion is all of season 7
    squeezed into just 4 episodes. (Artificial people with guns built
    into their hands. The monsters' leaders disagreeing and plotting to
    kill humanity with plague. Mysterious space-suited figures, and the
    Doctor riding in a British space rocket. An evil duplicate Earth with
    evil duplicate UNIT members, and a man with an eyepatch.) But despite
    its faster pace, it's a lot less popular than the full season 7.

    The end of War Games is interesting. The Timelords order/force the
    Doctor to change his shape, but they don't say "regenerate" and the
    Doc wasn't dieing. Does it really count against his maximum number of regenerations?

    Yes it does. This counts against him.
    Think of it as capital punishment. He interefered and therefore
    must be punished. That is how I view it.
