[Is that why you win so often, Doctor? Because you make mistakes?]

As this is my first time posting on this net, please don't flame me to
total oblivion.  Passing through here, I read some personal reviews of
Keeper of Traken and Logopolis, so I thought I'd add my two cents here
too.

Keeper of Traken was an ultimate.  As Dr. Who comes on late here, and I
had to wake up early the next day for school, I only watched it when I
didn't have school.  Luckily, I was around for KOT, and it was great.
The suspense as to what was in that solidified robot (name escapes me)
was great, and the passing of tradition from Nyssa's future mother to
her was also a nice touch.  It was a marvelous tale, and even made one
feel bad in the end, when the Master took over Nyssa's father's body.

As for Logopolis, it was confusing at times, but that (I think) was the
way it was supposed to be, wasn't it? The Doctor Baker couldn't figure
out who the Man in White was (the Watcher?) and I just loved the concept
of all those mathematicians on Logopolis keeping the balance of the cosmos
together like that.  I did think the ending was a bit contrived, having
Baker fall off the antennae that way, and not revealing WHAT THE HELL
HAPPENED with the SAVE THE UNIVERSE PROGRAM, eh? I'm still not sure what
happened.  Could someone clarify what did? I have the feeling that they
were about to implement the program...and then Baker died...and the Master
left...hm...

As for other questions, how did the Master get scarred up from the Pertwee
espisodes to Baker's "The Deadly Assassin" episode?

And does anyone out there in netville know if I can lay my hands on a copy
of the Christmas special in which the Doctor (Baker, I'd presume, but have
no idea of) gives Sarah Jane Smith (the GREATEST of the companions!) 
K9 model III???  I'm dying to see it!
