I know someone whose first episode ever was The Five Doctors. He said it made him crazy, because every time he asked "So, who's that guy?" the answer was always "That's the Doctor."

It's one of my favorites... for pretty much your stated reasons.

I pity that poor guy. Really.

But it's like complete and utter crack, and I can't help but love it. So much fun!

Have you ever watched the First Doctor? We watched the first story arc a couple weeks ago. It was truly bizarre and the Doctor very unlikeable. He was pretty much the polar opposite of the current Doctor persona.

We're planning to skip ahead to Third Doctor next.

The first story arc? That's the Unearthly Child, right?

He gets nicer later on - I saw The Dalek Invasion of Earth a while back, and he was nice there.

And do tell me your thoughts.

Flash-forwards to the New Series? Like what? Please spoil!

Five does lots of very Ten-like pocket acting. And when he passes out at one point, he does the hands-on-two-people's-shoulders like Ten does with Mickey and Jackie in TCI.

Um, there's also Sarah Jane being upset and slightly odd around the Doctor, which might just be me retcon-ing stuff after School Reunion.

Oh, and there's a line about Immortality being a curse, which I quite liked.

When you finish watching it, go read the five minute version. Because, bwahaha!

My favourite bit is when Three rescues Sarah Jane from the bottom of that very gradual sloperavine by tying a rope to his car and dragging her out. *facepalm*

Oh, and I almost forgot Zoe's bubblewrap dress. Look out for it. ;)

The Five Minute version is For The Win. Srsly.

And yes, I am rather fond of that, too. Poor dears, and they try so hard to make it look serious. Like Susan and her ankle twisting.

But Zoe's bubblewrap dress owns my soul. I now have an outfit for my next costume party!

Two and Three fighting is the Best. Thing. Ever. I love them both.

You should watch the Three Doctors then. Troughton vs. Pertwee never gets boring ^^

I have not seen that one. But I have the Target Novelisation. God, I'm sad.

The Five Doctors. Known alternately by its shooting title Okay We've Got 50p and Some Duct Tape and the Whole Country of Wales, Let's Leave the Cameras On For Eighty Minutes And See What Happens.

Oh, who am I kidding? It's great ;)

Two vs. Three is love.

Two vs. Three is love.

I would so watch the two of them snarking at one another for half an hour every week.

The Five Doctors! Oh, how I love that! It's just...lots of Doctors, all together, snarking and doing what they do best. What's not to love?
