I have other things to post today, but those can... wait. Right now, you're getting a meme, and two days of my 30 Days of Who thing, because I was too tired to do it last night.

...I'm so, so sorry. :|
Day 02 - Your Favorite Classic Series Episode
I am terrible at watching Classic Who. It's not that I don't want to, but I always get fed up waiting for the torrent, and then by the time it's actually downloaded, I forget it exists... One day I'm going to get better at that. So I have trouble picking a favorite, because my knowledge is so spotty - I have seen at least one or two of every Doctor (except maybe Six? I remember nothing of Six...), but there are some companions I haven't seen, and I need to fix that.
I have special love for The Daleks. Team TARDIS shoves a Dalek around like in "Journey's End", but without the special Donna magic! Ian climbs into a Dalek! There is nothing not hilarious and awesome about that. Also Spearhead from Space, because I love Three like kittens, and it is the episode I think of first when I think of him - I do not know why, because unlike every other Classic Doctor, I have seen, like, half his episodes. And there's Castrovalva, which made me fall in love with Nyssa and Tegan and Five. And it has the Master! ...being really sketchy at Adric... Yyeeaaah.
I think if I had to pick an absolute favorite, though, it would be City of Death. Four and Romana running around in Paris! Douglas Adams episode! The best special effects ever! (...I wish I had a .gif to demonstrate this point. As it is, you'll just have to believe me - THEY ARE AWESOME. And by awesome, I mean hilarious.)
Day 03 - Your Favorite New Series Episode
I'm counting two-parters as one episode (and lumping Utopia in with the two-parter that comes after it, because I can), so!
Favorite of all time is definitely "Utopia"/"Sound of Drums"/"Last of the Time Lords". It's the end of my favorite season - I think S3 is the most coherent in terms of story arc so far, because standalone episodes are actually to set up the finale instead of just tossing some arc words around and calling it a day. Plus, the episodes by themselves just make me happy (and yes, I did watch this before I watched the rest of S3...). I don't even mind the basic concept of the Tinkerbell Jesus Doctor, I just wish the special effects had been toned down a little (...okay, a lot). Martha, Jack and Ten are my very favorite Team TARDIS, and Martha Jones saved the world by telling stories. I cannot emphasize the awesomeness of that enough.
Close runners up include "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances", "The Girl in the Fireplace", "Silence in the Library"/"Forest of the Dead", "Midnight", and "Time of Angels"/"Flesh and Stone". Yeah, I know, all but one of those have Moffat in common. Shut up. It's like he has a list of my story kinks and goes and hits them on purpose. And I don't mind at all.
