Ah, Ace. I want to see an Ace-Sarah Jane smackdown. Sarah would start sniveling and Ace would smack her upside the head.
It's all about the coat.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I remember liking Turlough because I thought it was cool to have a companion with a hidden agenda. Especially since I didn't like Peter Davidson much.
In self-involved news, I just turned in what I think was my 160th episode recap. Which is either a neat accomplishment or a sad statement about the state of my life. Maybe both. Now I get to spend a while watching TV just for myself. And possibly sleeping. Bliss.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yay! For the sleep, at least.
How many shows are you recapping at the moment?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I like Peter Davison more than I liked the 5th Doctor (I was an All Creatures Great and Small fan). Turlough's hidden agenda could've been ok if played better. It became thoroughly incoherent in Enlightenment.

Sorry, I just love Jake Johannsen.

How many shows are you recapping at the moment?Er. Well, I was recapping one. Once this recap goes up I will officially be taking a much-needed break. My brain's all melted.

Yeah, that's probably what I really mean. He was fine in the role, but the character was too much of a goody, so Turlough seemed more sympathetic because he was all conflicty.

It's interesting, the 5th Doctor was definitely a goody-goody, but rewatching I notice just how irritable and peevish he is most of the time. I usually just put it down to having to deal with Adric and/or Tegan, while the other Doctors got useful companions like Jamie or Romana. (Of course, the 6th Doctor got Peri and Mel, and still looked bad by comparison.)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The Sixth Doctor combined the temperament of a high-strung rock star, the arrogant entitlement of a crooked politician, and the fashion sense of the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Really, he never had a chance...
