Yes, I think Jo must have loved adventuring in the Amazon- after jungles on alien planets infested with Daleks, a regular earth rainforest would be like a walk in the park to her!
Haha I thought the computer voice in Green Death sounded like the Master too! I wondered if maybe Roger Delgado had recorded it beforehand at first, but then the more I heard, I realized it was someone else after all.
I can understand why Nine, Ten and Eleven were tortured souls, they did believe they had killed his whole race, but I don’t think this is truly the Doctor’s essential being. Yes, definitely! Even though I saw New Who first, the idea of the Doctor as an angsty romantic hero always felt weird to me somehow, and I felt like I finally got to understand him better when I saw him without that on Classic Who. I do understand why they decided to make him the last Time Lord in New Who tho, and I think it was a good idea at first, because new viewers like me didn't have to deal with all the backstory right away, we could just focus on 'okay, he's lonely & needs a friend to travel with, I get it.' (Nowadays I find New Who to be a bit too focused on the Doctor having 'last Time Lord angst' for my taste, but I'm sure if I wait long enough it'll change into something I like again, and I'm having fun watching Classic Who in the meantime.) :D
