Doctor Who Marathon: Favorite Episodes

Likewise, there are certain episodes that just stand out. Maybe they have a magical moment or a bit of good direction, or excellent dialogue. I will add them here as I find them, and maybe add some brief descriptions on why i find them great.

• An Unearthly Child, Ep. 1
• The Daleks, Ep. 2. Great example of building tension and mood.
• The Daleks, Ep 4. Wonderful direction by Christopher Barry, and excellent special effects, especially considering the era. The rest of Doctor Who's 50 years may rest on the strength of this episode alone.    
•  The Dalek Invasion of Earth, Ep. 2. Feels like the show as a whole is taking a massive leap forward. It's got location filming, nice (and LARGE) set designs, a great soundtrack, and the largest cast in Doctor Who up to this point in the programme's history.
• The Romans, Ep. 3. The whole story is rather wonderful, but this is the best episode. I wish they had been more willing to do the occasional comedy in the later on. 
• The Daemons, Ep 1 The rest of the story isn't all that great, but episode one is actually pretty good. It's paced tightly and has a sense of energy with the goal of getting the Doctor and Jo to Devils end before the barrow is opened. Up. Nice use of media as a narrative device. 
• The Ultimate Foe Ep. 1  The only time Colin Baker's era truly meets greatness. Should have been like this more often.
