Doctor Who/Recap/S13/E05 The Brain of Morbius: Difference between revisions

* [[Body Horror]]

* [[Book Dumb]]: While Condo isn't the brightest bulb in the box, his simply-expressed insights are quite astute.

* [[Distressed Dude]]: Once again, the Doctor gets kidnapped. Twice, in the space of five minutes.

* [[Exposition of Immortality]]: This episode contains a sequence in which the three previous incarnations of the Doctor are shown, and [[Canon Dis Continuity|eight additional faces beyond that]]. Morbius asks ''"How far back Doctor, how long have you lived?"'' - even by Time Lord standards, it seems The Doctor has been around for a while.

* [[Gentle Giant]]: Condo, more or less.

* [[Guile Hero]]: How Sarah Jane rescues the Doctor for the second time in two serials.

* [[Large Ham]]: Solon, oh so very much.

* [[Mix and Match Man]]: Morbius's monster body, cobbled together from bits of various alien creatures, notoriously including Condo's hand and what looks to be a [[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S4 E7 The Macra Terror|Macra's claw]] for appendages (plus the prospect of including the Doctor's head as a finishing touch).

* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: Condo's [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to save Sarah from Morbius.

* [[Refusal of the Call]]: When the Doctor first lands, he is not pleased by the fact that the Time Lords have dragged him into a situation they won't deal with themselves. Sarah guilts him out of this by marvelling at her surroundings and [[Obfuscating Stupidity|going off on her own anyway.]]

* [[Time Travelers Are Spies]]: ''Everyone'' assumed the Doctor is there on behalf of the Time Lords and is there to steal their stuff/ruin their day. He doesn't even know where ''he is.''

* [[Torches and Pitchforks]]: The sisterhood of Karn chase the Morbius creature off a cliff, a la Frankenstein

* [[The X of Y]]
