Welcome back and let's enter The Cave of Skulls now! First title sequence Yay! Will I be sick of this by the end?

After that we see shadows. What are they? Gutsman's ass! No cavemen but the music sounds the same. Still written by Coburn BTW.

Sleeping cave people while one is making a fire looking drunk? OK... Zamix(?) is making the fire you whore! Wait... They killed his dad for making fire? These guys are screwed. They BOWED to the guy who made fire?! You said they killed him. WAT?

You fail but no need for a temper tantrum! Welcome to Doctor Who's first Large Ham. Zamix the caveman! Dude one hint Hands+bone does NOT equal fire! Wait the tribe leader is the one who MAKES FIRE? That makes no sense. WTF! Explain please! Oh yeah that was in within a minute of dialogue. Sure Zamix scream to the fire gods...

THAT WAS A FLASHBACK! He just stared off into space and had a minute long flashback!!!

Sweet Barbara woke up. Now Ian. I need to see the reaction! Tell them Doctor! Yes Ian you have your "evidence" right in front of your eyes but yet you want more! First Doctor Who joke! You have a Geiger counter? Why when you absorb radiation according to Nu Who season 4! Wait you don't know where you are?

Why did Ian almost fall over? The "explanition" is that you went through time! What should it be if not a police box?

WTF is that! It could be anything Ian? I agree? It disguises itself? What would it be in caveman times? You wonder why he's quiet? Yes Ian you were wrong. Another Title Drop ALREADY! How is it impossible! You Keep Using That Word!

Wow the Doctor got back attacked by a caveman. Yes he's gone no need to scream Susan! Hey Ian, Barbara maybe he was attacked. Morons. Susan he's not dead CALM THE FUCK DOWN! He wrote ALL the TARDIS codes in a notebook? Um sure... Exploring time!

Is this part of the scene needed? No kids playing a game is not needed. Dude I'm sorry but I just don't care about you or your caveman buddies. Oh Doctor hello! I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CAVE PEOPLE SO SHUT UP!! Yes the "fire god" can make people SHOOT FIRE OUT OF THEIR HANDS! These morons believe this lying jackass! Get to the plot! Wait two Large Ham in one episode? OK awesome. Wait this dude can make BLUE FIRE? Holy shit! BLAGGH to you too Zamix.

Doctor you woke up! Did you bring the plot with you? Nevermind more fire based rants. Coburn plot PLEASE? Hey Doctor you spoke for the first time in 10 minutes! Old people can hurt people a lot Doctor. MATCHES! A Time Lord needs matches to make fire! SHUT UP ABOUT FUCKING FIRE! The "villain" is getting hammy! Holy shit They want to kill the Doctor! Well next part we'll see how that turned out.

Cavemen with British accents. Hey, it could happen.

You can see the show's educational roots very clearly here with the focus on how fire is made, plus the cavemen's dependence on it. The show first started abandoning it in the next story and never looked back.

Well day late but hey let's go

Wow water helps a lot. NOT! Water helps with wounds now... OK... Handkerchiefs don't help either! He was MAULED! How is this working? One of these later and... That was the ANIMALS blood?! Best. Doctor Who villain. Ever. An animal missing a crapload of blood that will die of bloodloss.

You're helping now? Why? You even said Doctor that you want to leave and NOT to make friends with said cave people! Doctor WTF!

Doctor's personality contracting with actions count: 1

I have lost all care for the cavemen. NEXT!

Stop trying to help! GAHH! IT MAKES NO SENSE FOR THESE PEOPLE AT THIS TIME! Breathe, I need to breathe. The dude's "girlfriend" is jealous of the 15 year old? The main cave dude is a Lolicon. Who knew? You're so lost that you need the cave people to help? No Sense of Direction for all the cast it seems.

You need the Doctor to help carry! Yes, let's have the over 450 year old man help carry! Face Palm. One Freudian moaning session later...

More cavemen! I do NOT care! Stop trying to make me!

More walking! You know what? Some Stuff Blowing Up would be nice right about now.

Skipping more cave people. OK I swear I just heard the Guts Man's ass theme twice now! Old woman is dead now! Hooray! Bad "Bad Acting" back there too. "Yeah! I'm so stoned! "

The TARDIS! Can we see Daleks now? Nope the evil caveman got back there...? wild mass guess Cave people have super speed.

Last episode of this serial. The Firemaker! After this DALEKS!

Block randomly over so yeah hiatus over and now let's watch The Firemaker

Damn it there's cavemen in FRONT of the TARDIS too! Well there goes my run away like a wimp action.sad Yep mob of cavepeople. Barbara was just kidnapped thanks to the Standard Female Grab Area. Hooray the Barbara is awesome show continues! Dude Shatner acting is not good. Hell this is PRE-SHANTER and he still is putting...pauses...in... awkward...places. Hey I knew the old bitch was dead last episode! Viewers Are Goldfish in full effect ladies and gents!

Wow you just got PWNED by the Doctor!

CMOA awarded to: Doctor 1 for tricking the main evil caveman to show his bloody knife. note CMOA's can be changed for better ones as will be seen with Ace

Well that was short. The villain admitted he killed the old woman. I guess the main cast can go now! See you next time when we see '''The Daleks!'''

OK throw the villain out first won't take too long.

Well thanks for convincing them to watch out for him. WAIT you're going to make fire in the OPEN DESERT! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF! Gutsman's ass again!

Hey guess what? I DON"T FUCKING CARE! Less cavemen, more Doctor!

I might be suffering a Monde Green but is the main hero caveman calling Ian Fred? I need to know!

Moving on SHUT UP!!! I want to go now! Note: I like the dialouge, it's just I don't give a damn about the cavemen who have had most of the last three episodes to themselves.

Welcome to the Ian gives advice show! Seriously god damn actual character interaction I actually care about! One physics lesson later and... "In our tribe, the fire maker is the least important one!" Thank you Ian so helpful. Do something!

Drama? God damn it!

Gutsman's ass theme count: 4

Summary of what's left. Kal Thanks Doctor Who wiki! attacks Za but Za wins and kills Kal making Za the undisputed leader. He then decides to be a douche and says that the Doctor and the others will merge with his tribe. Even weirder is that Za keeps the Doctor's group confined to the cave of skulls. Susan makes a plan. Said plan works then they leave.

And here's.... THE CLIFFHANGER! The TARDIS materializes on a planet with petrified trees. Lastly the Geiger counter goes into the danger zone.

Opinion of this episode? Bo-RING. This is so bo-RING This is so bo-RING! On with the show! Yeah part 1 was good but the others... BORING!

Next episode is being done by a guest star!

Hello people, liveblogging snarker Slowzombie here, and I'll be your guest star in this next serial. So, who is this joker, you might ask, well, I'm the man behind the livebloggings of Light and Dark the adventures of Dark Yagami, Ace Attorney: Investigations and I Know Who Killed Me, and a bit of a Doctor Who fan, mostly NewWho, but hey, it's time to experience something new. So, it's time for the second serial, introducing one of The Doctor's greatest, and possibly most over-used foes of all time. Yeah, that's right, The Daleks, roll it, maestro.

We open with the theme song, which is slightly trippier than the current version, before rejoining our friends in the Tardis. The Doctor asks Susan to check the radiation levels before they go outside. Radiation's at safe levels, so our crew leaves, only for the radiation meter to spike. Now it's radioactive, that can't be good. Title card time, this episode is called The Dead Planet. Well, with a name like that, how bad can it be? Our heroes wander through a forest of some kind which displays recent signs of immense heat. Ian here notices that the trees aren't moving in the breeze. The reason? The trees are petrified. Hm. The Doctor finds this fascinating and plans to figure out what the deal with the petrification and whatnot is. Ian and Barbara stay behind and discuss their options, seeing as they'd rather be back on earth than wherever the hell they are now. Dunno how it is in these old series, but in the current series, pretty much the most dangerous place you can be is on earth, since every cosmic nasty and their mom show up there with disturbing frequency. The two debate if they should stay with the ship (certain death in a horror movie) or go look out for The Doctor (which I guess you possibly could survive.)

Back with The Doctor, Susan have found a petrified flower. Ian and Barbara arrives, just in time for Ian to accidentally crush the flower. Smooth moves there, Ian. Barbara cries out, and Ian rushes to her side, where he finds himself face to face with a lizard of some kind, but the thing is petrified too, so no danger. The Doctor points out that the thing is turned to metal rather than to stone. Also, Barbara is starting to doubt that they're on earth. Oh gee, you THINK? Susan spots the end of the jungle, which I'm guessing means horrible danger in one way or another. Barbera is demoralized, but Ian's determined to get her through this in one piece. That's good of him, I guess. Barbara quizzes Susan about the TARDIS' systems, and she reveals that with the right know-how, it can take you anywhere and more. The obvious question is then, of course, why they've ended up here, not knowing where here is, but the answer to that appears to be that they lack the necessary know-how to operate the TARDIS like it's supposed to. It's not that The Doctor is getting senile, Susan claims, he's just forgetful. Right, just forgetful.

Speaking of The Doctor, he isn't quite sure what's happening, but apparently, pretty much everything on this planets is dead, and thus the title. We hear Ian shout, he's found something. A city to be precise, and thanks to The Doctor's amazing binocular spectacles we get a closer look at Definitely Not A Model City, in all its futuristic glory. The city is a bit of a ghost town, and The Doctor is just about ready to investigate, while Barbara just wants to go back to the TARDIS and subsequently home. The Doctor will have none of it, but Susan works in a compromise of a sort, where they return to the TARDIS, discuss their future options and then call it a day, it's getting late you see. Hm, I guess it's inevitable when you're dealing with serials rather than episodes, but the pace seems slower in this show than in contemporary Who.

The Doctor is keen on staying behind and checking the place for himself, but since he's the only one who knows how to work the TARDIS, to the degree one can say that he does, he's got little choice but to return. On the way back, Susan gets distracted by something or other, another petrified flower or something like that, but it's hard to tell. As a result, she lags behind, which we all know is probably not going to come back to bite her in the ass. We know this for a few seconds before it becomes abundantly clear that indeed, something IS close nearby, she screams, and we go back to The Doctor and his somewhat reluctant posse. Ian, being the man in the group, rushes to meet her, as she flees back to the group. Huh.

Back in the TARDIS, the doctor tells Barbara that Susan was convinced something touched her in the forest, but that this is impossible. Well, aren't you a know-it-all, oh who am I kidding, he is. Barbara decides to go talk to Susan, since the doctor, easily being his oldest, and yet his youngest in Doctor Who history, is out of touch with young'uns. Susan is convinced something touched her shoulder, and she's unhappy with The Doctor not believing her since nothing could possibly live on this planet. Well, it's a bit early in the series for it yet, but had The Doctor been more Genre Savvy, he'd probably realize that any place nothing could possibly live, something does live, and that something is usually dangerous, but oh well. Meanwhile, Ian is trying to learn a thing or two about how the TARDIS works, and when The Doctor plans to tell them... well anything about where they are or when he plans to return them home. The Doctor is... not really very diplomatic at this point.

Barbara apparently has a headache, for which she's given some sort of nondescript space-medicine by Susan. The Doctor also invites his companions for lunch, producing a bacon and eggs-flavored power bar of some sort. Well, I was kind of wondering where the guy was eating on his longer stints of TARDIS travel, and now I know. Relatively pleasant conversation, no doubt fueled by rising levels of blood sugar for all involved gets suddenly interrupted by a knocking sound of some kind, which apparently means the scanner has picked up something. What is that? Something actually living here on this uninhabitable planet? This probably isn't good, is it? The Doctor turns on an external camera that does a 360 of the area around the TARDIS, reminding me just a little too much of a certain scene in a certain movie, but there's no final BOO! so I remain untraumatized.

So, nothing turns up, but the Doctor is still keen on checking that city place out, investigating further and so on, but Ian will have none of it. The Doctor appears to comply, activating the TARDIS, which makes the typical TARDIS whoosh. All seems well, but the whole place shakes, and technobabbel ensues, as the Doctor tries to find out what's wrong with his time machine. Long story short, they're out of mercury. Didn't know you needed mercury for time travel, but ok, apparently you do. It's not hard to fix, as long as you have replacement mercury, of which The Doctor has none. The only option seems to be to go explore the planet, maybe Definitely Not A Model City has some of that particular substance laying around somewhere? The Doctor seems rather happy about this development, to the point where I wonder if this wasn't his doing from the get-go, Oh Doctor, you card.

At first light, our heroes prepare to head out, Ian reminds The Doctor that they're out to find mercury and nothing else, and once they've found some hatmaker's bane, they are to make like a banana and split. Before they can get far, Ian spots a... small metal thingie, which he decides to inspect closer, by which I mean "poke it with a stick." The metal thingie is a box containing glass vials, probably something that belongs to someone. So yes, that means there probably is someone or something out there. An, one assumes, uneventful journey later, our crew reaches the city, and the Doctor is tired and needs a little rest. While he does that, Barbara manages to activate a sliding door. Ian suggests that they split up. Yeah, splitting up never causes trouble and potentially lethal danger for everyone involved, good one, Ian. Barbara checks out her freshly unveiled door, while The Doctor and Susan walks off. Ian manages, after some attempts, to open his own door.

Barbara finds herself in a corridor just a little too small for a human to walk upright in. The hallway stretches on for quite a while past her entry point, or so some sort of painting would have us believe, at any rate. As she moves down the corridor, a security camera follows her movements. Back with Susan and The Doctor, they try a different door somewhere else, before we go back to Barbara, who continues to brave these probably not deserted ruins all by her lonesome, eventually getting trapped by sliding doors. Back with Ian, The Doctor and Susan returns, thus making that cutaway to them earlier somewhat pointless, but hey. Barbara has, by the virtues of being caught in this slightly House Of Leaves-esque place, not returned yet, and Ian decides to give her a few minutes before searching for her. Meanwhile, Barbara tries to find her way out, but is sabotaged by changing walls, this kinda reminds me of Cube, although I guess it should be the other way around, but I digress.

After some panicking and freaking out, luck seems to have turned for Barbara. Her fellow companions and The Doctor is setting out to look for her, and a door opens. Can it be that she's finally free of this short, but intense hellhole? Yeah, no, she's cornered by something or other wielding what looks like a large suction cup. She screams aaaaaand "Next Episode: THE SURVIVORS." Well, most people who know anything at all about Who knows what this particular monster looks like, but I imagine it must've been rather intense back in the days. That's it for this episode though, and I'll see y'all next update.

Well, this took way longer than planned, let's not dally any longer though, it's time to check out this next episode. We open up with a little reminder, lest we forgot the lethal sucker, before our heroes, the geriatric, his granddaughter and the straight man, searches through the alien landscapes for Barbara. The Doctor hears something, leading the crew on a short game of marco polo before discovering what I assume is some sort of alien janitor's closet. Delighted, Ian seems to think they can find mercury in there. Well, I guess why not? What follows then is a discussion on whatever race left, or is still living in this place. The Doctor reasons, as one could assume on account of the huge cities and mostly automated technology, that they're inteligent, whatever they are. Ian's a little worried just how eldritch-like these aliens use their inteligence, but The Doctor, being the Doctor, isn't too worried.

Meanwhile, Susan has discovered the source of the ticking, sadly, one might say, it is not a pipe bomb, but a geiger counter, going mad with radiation. With rather stoic calm, the doctor speculates that they're all sick from radiation poisoning, needless to say, Ian does not share his calm. According to the man, a neutron bomb cleaned out all human, or one assumes organic tissue, leaving nonliving matter intact. Well, that's that, no need to stand around while your organs liquidize, the crew needs medication, but with the TARDIS tingmajogg busted, things are not looking great for reaching any place with RAD-Away available. The Doctor has a little confession to make, though, the TARDIS is fine, and the thingiemabob was all invented by him to make sure the rest of his crew would check out the alien city without protest. Ok, I realize his companions for this trip are sticks in the mud, but this doc's kind of... unpleasant. Luckily, Susan and Ian are similarily enraged by this.

They argue, as one is want to do while under the influence of lethal levels of radiation, and the Doctor prepares to leave, but Ian wants to find Barbara first, not unreasonable, but I can't help to find it a little funny how the roles apparently have switches. Funny how things turns out, no? Anyway, Ian has... something I can't really see too well, that the Doctor can't or won't leave without. So, the Doctor agrees, and they move out... finding themselves face to face with a couple of trash cans with toilet plungers for arms and eyestalks. Susan is, like many other Doctor Who characters would be after her, terrified. With a staccato voice that should be familiar to any fan of the show, one of the daleks command the Who Crew to follow him. Ian tries to make a break for it, and the Dalek fires it's lethal invert colors-beam, and Ian falls to the ground.

... turns out he's fine, so far, since the Dalek blaster was set to stun. Only being familiar with the Nu Who daleks, I find this a bit odd, but I guess it makes sense to have a setting if you want to capture someone and... y'know, kill them later. Susan and the Doctor is allowed to help Ian up, and he's a little disturbed he can't use his legs. It's as if he's glued to the spot. Barbara is apparently kept in some sort of holding cell, and soon, the remaining part of the Who Crew is thrown in as well. The Daleks transported Barbara, and thus one assumes the rest of the crew, downwards by lift, one assumes because using the stairs were out of the question. Speculation ensues vis-a-vis what a Dalek is, if they're machines or space squids in armor. Barbara's starting to feel the RADS, and apparently the Doctor's hit worse. The man that nine versions of himself later would claim that absorbing enough radiation to kill a human several times over was more like a Time Lord party trick than anything major, hm, well, at least it's consistent, right?

Meanwhile, the Daleks are discussing the radiation levels, it's currently sinking, but it's still enough to murderlize these squishy humans. Well, squishy human and somewhat squishy timelord, I guess. Time to question the Doctor. The aging timelord, ironically at his youngest actual age in the series, is brought in. The Daleks seems to be under the impression that The Doctor and Crew are thals, or something like that, and that they came to whatever city this might be to restock their rad meds. The Doctor is, like me, confused about this classification, but he apparently devises a plan of sorts. Sensing the Dalek's interest in antirad medicine, he purposes that one of them, the other three being held hostage, is sent back to the TARDIS for the meds, thus allowing our friends to survive horrible horrible radiation death, maybe giving the potentially insane robots what they need in the same move.

So, exposition time. The Daleks apparently shared the planet with the Thals, until they one day decided "fuck that noise" and went all out nuke war on eachother, the Daleks survived by encasing themselves in their iconic armor, whereas the Thals pretty much took option two, this being "eat shit and die," the few who survived on radiation medication becoming horribly mutated. Needless to say, the Doctor's not very keen on sending one of his crew into the lands of said horribly mutated beasties, but, as the Daleks points out, his list of options is fairly short at the moment. The Doctor is then reunited with the rest, and it would appear Susan is the one least affected by the radiation. Gee, I wonder who gets sent for the meds, given that Ian's still not walking all that much better than Tiny Tim after a particularily juicy drunk stupor, the Doc is down with the (radiation) sickness and Barbara is... well, somewhat of a damsel in this tale anyway.

The argument goes on pretty much like you'd expect. Ian wants to go, he just needs a couple of hours to get his feet working again, the Doctor is unable, so it falls upon Susan to retrieve the thingmajigg they found outside the Tardis, which The Doctor thinks might be the Thal rad drugs in question. Ian still insists upon going, of course, but Susan points out that the tardis' systems will jam if someone without the proper know-how tries to open it, so he reluctantly agrees to let her come along. The daleks' demand that they move out, though, and as such, Susan ends up going solo, much thanks to her as of yet unexplained rad resistance. Jeez, this discussion took long enough, but Ian ends it with a litlte peptalk before shoving the young girl to the horrible mutants. A schoolgirl in a wasteland with mutants, well, look at the bright side, if this thing had been produced in Japan, Susan's fate would probaly look grimmer indeed. The daleks, backstabbing space nazi bastards that they are, apparently plan to let the squishy humans die and take the Thal drugs for themselves, synthesizing enough of it that they themselves may avoid frying without their armor, ruh-roh.

Back in the cell, Barbara and Ian are discussing their predicament in a scene that doesn't as much scream padding as it... screams padding. Susan, meanwhile, is stumbling through the jungle while, of all things, a thunderstorm is rolling overhead, and when I say stumbling, I say she's going zig-zag like a drunk deer with something hid in the shadows stalking after her. Uh, are we SURE this isn't a slasher movie or ... ehm... one of the above-mentioned Japanese productions? Well, as women is want to do in similar spooky situations, Susan falls down, only to recoil in fear, and we're back to the radiation gang. The Doctor is now unconscious. Jeez people, I know this is for kids 'n all, but shouldn't someone have some actual physically visible reactions to all this radiation by now? I mean, I'm no expert, but shouldn't people be coughing blood or something by now? Ooh, speaking of which, Ian crouches with sudden pain, but it turns out it couldn't have been that bad, as he didn't seem too bothered with it shortly thereafter. Back to Susan, who's doing her "In a slasher I'd be dead in three to four minutes"-thing, and then back to the Daleks, who tells us that The Doctor is dying, Barbara is sleeping and Ian is doing pretty ok, before we go back to more running in the jungle, with your host, Susan. She finally reaches the TARDIS and finds the Rad drugs, hesitating briefly before stepping back out amidst the trees and thunder and mutants oh my. That's it for this episode, next up, The Escape, in which tentacle rape continues to not happen, much to the rejoicing of parents all over The UK

You know that due to Rule 34 the hentai idea probably has fanart and/or fanfic?
