I'm watching the old Doctor Who episodes at the moment, Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor to be exact. The first five minutes of the first episode I was thinking "gosh, it looks like it's 50 years old..." but then the story had me and it hasn't let go yet.
And speaking of not letting go: the killer clam in Genesis of the Daleks made me laugh out loud. I mean, who goes ahead and suggests that in a cave filled with unspeakable monsters, our heroes encounter ... a killer clam? It's so adorable, I can't think of a more inoffensive monster. Watch
I love how it waddles back into the shadow to wait for the next humanoid to stumble into it. Probably with a shellache after being wacked with that huge rock. Poor thing.
And because they are amazing creatures, take a look at this video of a real giant clam. And yes, they really are that big, but totally harmless. They don't snap shut and many big ones can't even close their shell completely.
