This brings the Third Doctor’s Era to a close. Although my personal preference so far has been the 2nd Doctor (Space Hobo has my heart) this doctor brought some gravitas to the role and pushed it into the realm of mythology. All the while remaining quite silly. 

Planet of the Spiders was very ambitious in some respects in examining what makes the Doctor tick, his fears, a bit of his past and the consequence of some of his actions. The Spiders, the meditation and the future humans were mostly ho-hum but Pertwee and Sladen made it very watchable.

Ahhh next week I start the Baker Era!

They will be coming

Archer: They told their homeworld how to find Earth.

T'Pol: Did you learn where the message was sent?

Archer: Somewhere deep in the Delta Quadrant.

T'Pol: Then I doubt there's any immediate danger. It would take at least 200 years for a subspace message to reach the Delta Quadrant, assuming it's received at all

Archer: Sounds to me like we've postponed the invasion until what, the 24th Century?

The music appropriately ominous when they first face off against the Borgified transport. 

I just assume that the nanoprobes have a fault in their programming after being stuck in ice for a century, to account for all the differences.
