Earthshock and Time-Flight: A Sadwanker's View

Once again doing a little catching up on this. I've also finished watching
Arc of Infinity, but I'll save that for a seperate post.

Earthshock:
Not a whole lot of significance here. Professor Kyle was kind of cute once
she got cleaned up; too bad she had to die. Oddly enough, she seems to be
exactly the same size as Tegan, as Tegan wears Kyle's uniform for a lot of
the story (while she kicks Cyber-ass. You go girl!).

On a non-wank note, I surprisingly found myself a little saddened by
Adric's death, especially in what turns out to be the Doctor's last
moments with Adric.

Time-Flight:
In the scene where the Doctor re-orients the TARDIS control room, he ends
up flat on his back as Tegan walks in, and damn near gets to look right up
her skirt! Lucky bastard! This means he could answer my question as to
whether Tegan's wearing regular pantyhose or (my favourite possibility) if
those are stockings.

I find myself noticing moments between Nyssa and Tegan more and more.
There seems a lot of genuine affection between the two, this time where
Tegan insists on staying behind to watch over Nyssa. It's almost bordering
on subtext (a la Xena: Warrior Princess where Xena and her sidekick
Gabrielle *might* be lovers).

Another nice moment is when the Captain of the second Concorde snaps one
of his crew out of the Master's trance by saying "Remem	ber Tegan?" The
crewman's eyes light up as he repeats "Tegan?" and a little smile appears
on his face. You can almost hear him thinking "Tegan? Oh, yeah, I remember
her! Rrrrrowwwl!" :-)
