Doctor Who : Best Episode In Tom Baker's 2nd Season

Seeds of Doom has Boycie in it!

Android Invasion has very little going for it, but I could probably vote for any of the rest. (Pyramids would be the obvious predicted winner.)

Pyramids of Mars is shit and I cannot remember a thing about the rest.

"Pyramids of Mars" is great! However it is no "BRAIN OF MORBIUS"

"The Seeds of Doom" is also fucking awesome.

Pyramids. Androids was balls. Zygons had some great bits, but also some really rubbish bits.

Pyramids often wins the title of of best dr who ever. But it will probably get 0 votes here as it's ilx

I wish I could give a second preference for THE BRAIN OF MORBIUS.

By the way, the poll is for the best story in Tom Baker's 2nd season, not the best episode.

well, yeah. Oops.

pyramids > morbius >> seeds ov doom > android inv >> planet ov evil > zygons

the malevolence in pyramids had me petrified as a kid. morbius looks great (within reason) but feels a bit knock about (whoops, did i slip on yr brain).

I went with Seeds of Doom, but could have gone for pyramids easily. There's an interesting bit in Seeds where the Doctor decides that plant-infected dude has to have his arm amputated, but refuses to perform the operation, and is all, "you have to help yourselves." Kind of a dick move, considering that he's probably more qualified than anyone else there.

as a child, my favourite bit in this was when the bad guy's servant is not evil enough, so the other servant just kills him. OMG!

I'm a big fan of that Morbius brain-splat moment. It's kind of horrifying and hilarious at the same time.

i like when his claw falls off at the end.

stating the obvious, really, but that is one good season.

"The Android Invasion" was the first Doctor Who story I ever saw.

It is somewhat unregarded, but it does have a great cliff hanger (though bizarrely I cannot remember whether it is the Doctor meeting an android replicao himself, or of one of his friends, or of one of his friends meeting an android replica of the Doctor, etc.).

I remember we used to play at being one of the androids, which basically meant pointing your finger at people and shooting them with it.

Great days, Gay, great days, wheh wheh wheh.

It's robo-sarah jane, isn't it? I think her face falls off, and then there's all wires and flashing lights inside.

She walks off a cliff eventually, right?

"I think her face falls off, and then there's all wires and flashing lights inside"

this redeems any show it happens in. bionic man/woman did it a couple of years before hand.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Bit harsh on Planet of Evil

Yeah, I mean apart from Prentis Hancock's CRAZY overacting it's really pretty good.

And the set design is INCREDIBLE.

Planet of Evil... when I was small, that was one of the scariest stories EVER. Still pretty good when seen later.

Bit harsh on Planet of Evil

this is the problem with plurality voting.

i like planet of evil

Watching 'Brain of Morbius' right now. Evil dude reminds me of Michael Ironside w/ drama major haircut for some reason.

Also, between this and 'Planet of Evil', Sarah Jane was really hott this season.
