Agreed. I rented that recently and forgot that I actually did like it. The shoes scene and the regenaration are the two parts that have always stuck in my mind.
200 Golden Moments
- Thread starter Emissary of the Prophets
- Start date
The Eccleston/Tennant regeneration
Sarah Jane spotting the TARDIS in School Reunion and her subsequent conversation with the Doctor.
The 7th Doctor's humiliation and destruction of Ace's faith in him in order to defeat Fenric.
The 5th to 6th Doctor regeneration (brilliant even though it signified the end of my real love for classic Who at the time)

The Doctor's farewell speech to Susan in The Dalek Invasion of Earth.
The Doctor, battered and bruised, surveying the carnage at the end of Warriors of the Deep: "There should have been another way." The story's not that great, but Davison's delivery of that line makes the whole four episodes worthwhile.
The Doctor and Donna's silent conversation in Partners In Crime, especially the Doctor's perplexed look as Donna gets more involved with her gestures.

Hmmm, I wish they'd tried to put something decent before that (admittedly good) line.
I think Pertwee's "That's murder" line at the end of Silurians is more effective. The sentiment is the same, but you have the advantage of it following on from a great story.
Thanks to Mike's Comics (www.mikescomics.com), I now have my copy. I skipped around through it last night, since I didn't have time to read it cover to cover. I like the idea, and I think the execution was *mostly* well done. However, I completely disagree with their numbering system.
They say the four stories that make up Trial of a Time Lord - and with an overall season name - means it's one story. Ok. But then they give the Key to Time six stories?
In that way, it feels to me like someone might have had the idea to do this, started counting and suddenly went "Oh, crap, we're already at 220. How do we cut some numbers? Oh right, drop Shada, drop 3 from Trial, make all the multiple-episode stories of Tennant count as one instead of 2-3, ok there we are, 200."
Then with that, in skipping through, I frequently found stories that had two "golden moments" ... so they easily went over their arbitrary 200 anyway.
Still, that's my only complaint, that the numbering system was arbitrary. It's more than 200. So nyah, Panini. lol

Good point. The Silurians is one of my favorites, and Pertwee's reaction at the end is classic. I suppose Warriors of the Deep sticks in my mind a little more, even though the story is not nearly as good, simply because we see the physical toll the story has taken on the Doctor in addition to the mental toll.
