I-5 will get you there the fastest undoubtedly. I find it deeply exhausting personally because it's so flat and monotonous and you're always thinking about traffic. When I'm not pressed, I prefer to take the scenic Pacific Coast Highway, which adds many hours on but is so much less tiring to me.

Dr. Who posits that at least Barbara helped Autloc as a silver lining but... he's way worse off now, surely.

Did they even save any lives? I'm pretty sure that that death means their intervention was a net negative on the bodycount.

Okay, I typed too soon, they are just going to have Ian straight up kill Ixta, trained soldier, in combat with no special tricks or cancellation and postponement.

I don't think Ian is here being posited as the greatest warrior, just fulfilling his narrative slot as the team brawler. He really has been at-best evenly-matched if not outmatched and always trying to get out of scrapes through machinations rather than fight, because he knows he's not good enough.

The guard was not in fact distracted enough by the shiny trinket so Ian just drubs him over the head. Surely he could have done that at any time?

Cameca is extremely perceptive or pessimistic to sense her upcoming misfortune, and rather sanguine about it all.

After all that hassle to get the rope to turn the door, it just breaks. But they can just go back the way they originally came in, surely?

I'm glad I've been watching these episodes with friends because I'm really finding The Aztecs a slog. If I was watching by myself the watchthrough might stall out for a good long while again here just for disenthusiasm.

Ian finds the idea of Dr. Who actually marrying a Mexican woman inherently laughable even though I don't think he knows it was half an accident. Everyone in this story is racist but Ian most of all.

Susan is an excellent student, as she once was in An Unearthly Child. If anything, she seems to be less of an Unearthly misfit here in her schooling.

Love the shot Tloxtl just absolutely seething in the foreground. He's got the eyebrows for it for sure.

I'm a fan of Barbara, so I'm glad to see her get more to do and to be assertive and in charge rather than imperiled and on the backfoot. Pulling a Bill Murray "nobody will believe you" confessing she is not Yetaxa. Wish the arc didn't suck.

Ian claims that there's only one exceptional "civilized" man in all of The Aztecs, and THAT is what finally convinces Barbara she can't change things for the better.

The romance plotline is a fun change but the love interest really has no character besides being in love.
