"Everyone has a point, nowadays. I am a man of action, not reason.", King Yrcanos, "Mindwarp" There are some delightful lines from King Yrcanos in this story. And lots of over-the-top shouting. Brian Blessed is just perfect for this character. "Excellency, welcome. Please, please, rest yourself.", Kiv, "Mindwarp" Do we recognize the Posicarian delegate? No, not really - but the face might be slightly familiar because the mask was recycled from the Terileptil mask constructed for "The Visitation". The movement artist inside was Deep Roy - we saw him as Mr Sin in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang". "I'm sorry about the noise. He does so enjoy his work.", The Doctor, "Mindwarp" I do like the old Mentor that doesn't like Yrcanos shouting all the time. "Warm. Not cold. My body is warm. Wonderful. Legs. Toes.", Peri/Kiv, "Mindwarp" Apparently, Nicola used her normal British accent rather than her American "Peri" accent for the Kiv voice modulation. Well, anyway, I found it interesting. "Whatever made you take me out of time when you did? I remember it all. I was on my way to save Peri.", The Doctor, "Mindwarp" No! "And what of the Earth woman's mind?", "Gone. Mentally, she no longer exists.", Sil and Crozier, "Mindwarp" No! "You're using Yrcanos as an assassin.", "It was judged by the High Council as the most acceptable way, and Yrcanos will never know that he was used.", The Doctor and the Inquisitor, "Mindwarp" No! "No! No! No!", King Yrcanos, "Mindwarp" No, not Peri! "I won't lie - I am shocked and stunned by that ending.", sesskasays, Reaction to "Mindwarp" Jaw-droppingly shocking ending. Nicola? "I loved the shaved head, the mind transplant and Yrcanos blowing my body to smithereens. It was dramatic, poignant and shocking.", Nicola Bryant

"Cardiac arrest, but let me finish my tea" You can't get more British than that, Jess,

This has one of those endings that derails most if not all the mental notes you make whilst watching. Perfectly understandable that this happens in this case. Not helping is that the math is still not mathing, as you put it. “Intrigued but frustrated” is a fair description, and I know what you’re talking about with that. To touch on a few, what you said, feels like frivolous notes after that ending. Of course, a continued highlight of this is the great BRIAN BLESSED being the fantastic ham that he is. You spoke of quite loving his hamtastic performance, which, well, yeah, we’re talking about BRIAN fucking BLESSED after all. Man’s a treasure. The “Cardiac arrest, but let me finish my tea.” thing, I’d have the same thing with coffee, saying something like, “Oh, all right, finish my cup, and carry on.” Loved your laugh at that part. That gyrating fruits line did sound very dirty, and the look you gave at that one was a shared look. The line about “Ambush being a woman’s way of fighting”, knew you’d have a word or two at that one. Can’t speak to Colin’s experience with this story. I’m sure more learned Whovians could speak more intelligently about that. Don’t blame you on the reticence of revisiting this one, given the ending. I try not to rewatch Face the Raven all that much for the same reason. Yeah, they just hit you with what happened to Peri, hence I don’t blame you for not having strictly speaking the most coherent thoughts as Peri’s death does just punch you right in the face and gut. Loved all the words you did say, Jess, and this was still a very great reaction.
