Hello everyone, the Historian here with the wrapup for our penultimate story. Which was…charitably…not among the best of the Project. I’m still unsure whether it was the worst, but I think it’s fair to say it probably ranks near the bottom for the Project team.

Wrapup — The Krotons
Hello everyone, the Historian here, almost-late as usual with the wrap-up for our previous story. So, The Krotons. Not the most distinguished or best loved story of season six, by any means. Well, let’s dive in…

Wrapup — The Invasion
Hello everyone, the Historian here, making it in just under the wire (as usual) with a wrapup of our last story. And wow, what a story it was! Honestly, we covered a lot of this ground already over the past eight discussions, so let’s see if I can come up with anything new.

Wrapup — The Celestial Toymaker
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS POST, WHILE WRITTEN IN 2014, IS BACKDATED TO FIT INTO THE CORRECT ORIGINAL POSTING SCHEDULE.
Hello everyone, the Historian here. At this point I am one full story behind where the Project actually is, but I hope to catch up soon! For now, let’s talk about one of Doctor Who’s early experiments.
I have to admit, I was surprised by how much disagreement and disapproval this story provoked among Project members.***
And that’s where I left things back in 2011, when the first iteration of this blog kind of ground to a halt. Ketina has gone over the whys and wherefores elsewhere, but briefly, writing the summaries and the pressure I was putting on myself got the better of me. I kept falling further behind, and the further behind I got, the harder it became to get myself going again…and two years got away from me. As I type this, we are about to finish the fifth season (one to go!), and the old blogspot website has lain fallow. Then, last year, Ketina decided to take matters into her own hands and here we are! She is posting our discussions and I plan/hope to add wrapup posts for stories and (I hope!) seasons. Eventually, if I get very industrious, I may even add some summaries!

Wrapup – The Ark
Hello everyone, the Historian here, on the horns of a dilemma. How to go back and wrap up a story that we finished watching just over a month before? I am still determined to catch up, however, and I owe you all a post for this story!
<Note: This was originally posted on 7/18/2011. For moving it to the new site I back dated it to 6/18/2011 so it falls in the correct episode order. Thus the Historian’s explanation above. This is also our last story wrap-up from the old site and format.

Wrapup – The Massacre of St. Bartholomew’s Eve
Hello everyone, the Historian here. As some of you may know, our blog server was down for a good deal of time during the latter half of this week. Unfortunately, this (and my day job) has thrown my posting schedule a bit out the window. So, here’s the “Massacre” wrapup post. The new episode post will be up sometime later this week.
<Note: the published date on the new site for this post was modified from the original date of 5/16/2011 to 5/10/2011 to keep the episode order correct by date. From here on out, episodes posted on the new site are back dated to the date of the airing and discussion, not the date of post. This is also so that current events mentioned in discussions can line up correctly.>

Wrapup – The Myth Makers
Hello everyone, the Historian here with a wrapup of the Doctor and company’s adventure amongst the Achaeans and the folk of Ilium, across the wine dark sea and the wind-swept plain…..Ahem. Sorry about that. Continue reading Post ID 1371

4 – Horse of Destruction
Hello everyone, the Historian here! We had a full house tonight for the last episode of our Trojan epic: Ketina, Ronelyn, Schmallturm, Spoo, MisterMother, Photobug, Cz and MiniSpoo! So, without further ado, let’s get to the summary!

Wrapup – Galaxy 4
Hello everyone, the Historian here. Doctor Who’s third season (can you believe we’ve made it that far?) began with a story taking place in some other place than Galaxy 4, as I’ve been joking for a month now. And, as I said last week, I’d been waiting for somewhere between twenty-five and thirty years to see the Drahvins, the Chumblies and the Rills. And, thanks to Loose Cannon Productions, I’ve now seen something…that approximates the original story. Personally, I wasn’t disappointed, but the same can’t be said for most of the rest of the Project members. Admittedly, I was the only one who’d been exposed to the story in one form or another previous to watching, which might have helped–memories of the Target novelisation surely filled in some of the gaps that the recon was forced to leave out.

Wrapup – The Time Meddler
Hello everyone, the Historian here, with out final wrapup of season two! (Well, all right, the Season Wrapup should be coming in the next week or so, but still.) And yes, this is being written later than I’d planned. I have to be honest–I love this story and I kept feeling I needed to wait until I had the time and energy to do it justice. But I’m quickly running out of time and here we are. Bear with me!
