Sontarans - Tumblr Posts
As much as I love the Doctor’s pacifism (which he sort of sticks to at least most of the time except when he later shoves cyanide in a dude’s face but ya know... he has bad days I guess), I also love how Jamie straight up stabs a Sontaran in the leg. Like yeah, you’re one of the most fearsome warrior species in the universe? Well I’m Scottish and Imma stab you.
But yeah, I went back on another of my erratic sprees of Classic Who-watching tonight and I happened upon the Two Doctors. I’m starting to quite like Jamie as a companion. (Even though this is his last appearance as a companion in terms of episode order, it’s only the second full serial I’ve watched with him in it because my approach to watching Classic Who can be summed up as wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey.)
This serial also very much made me think of that 12th Doctor quote, “hardly anything is evil, but most things are hungry”. Obviously the Sontarans are more about battle-glory than hunger, but that Androgen chef, on the other hand...
“Sontaran might is invincible!”

Mini crochet project: Strax! ‘Hello, prepare to be obliterated for the glory of the Sontaran Empire!’
Another weekend project complete! Now the proud owner of a Sontaran ‘Strax’ Cuddle Buddy. 42cm tall x 18cm wide (34cm wide if you include the arms) - that’s about 16 1/2 in x 7 in
My original Strax is 17cm x 8cm (approx 6.69 in x 3.14 in)
