Have seen The Five Doctors a thousand million times and it never fails to make me flail with glee. Things which especially popped out on this viewing:
* Putting Five and One together for so much of it was a bloody masterstroke.
* I still really like the Raston Warrior Robot and its enthusiastic gay jumping.
* If anyone ever tries to suggest that the Master does not want to shag the Doctor, show them the scene where the High Council explain their 'plan'. The man is drooling, I tell you, drooling! (Though he has naff all chemistry with Three: suppose Fancy Pants only goes for Delgado!Master.)
* Special edition = teh suXXor. The extra doomy ceiling in Rassilon's chamber is quite good. The swirly cone thing is not. And I swear, according to my 8-year-old brain, that at the end, in the One True Version, the TARDIS did a repeated dematerialisation thing which was awesome. (I may be wrong about this: when I was 8 I liked Roland Rat and therefore am an unreliable witness.)
* Zoe's dress doesn't look like bubble-wrap. It is bubble-wrap. Did she wear bubble-wrap in the original series?
* The minute he gets to Gallifrey, Fivey puts on a phenomenal amount of eyeliner. He clearly ran away to escape his inner tranny.
* That bit where there are loads of Cybermen on a hill and no one notices them for ages is arse.
* I slightly hate Sarah. *ducks*
* One appears to not even slightly recognise the Master, which buggers up all thoughts that Koschei resembles the beardy velvety-gloved one. Poop.
* OMG so much hand!porn at the beginning. And how unspeakably brilliant is the bit where One orders Tegan off to make tea, and Fivey sends Turlough too?
* Green & Black's Hazelnut and Currant Dark Chocolate is rather wonderful. (Not technically part of the viewing experience, but highly recommended.)
Think Captain Tight-Pants might have to wait till tomorrow: I have an urge to iconify some high-res handporn.

"A cosmos without the Doctor scarcely bears thinking about." is about the only evidence you need for the ship in my opinion. You forgot the bit where Five spots the Master and wanders over to flirt with him much to Tegan's disgust.
Five clearly took the eyeliner away so Tegan and Turlough couldn't abuse it - that's why Tegan was so angry throught out the episode, not only did he take the eyeliner, he took the 80's eyeshadow as well.
There's nothing wrong with Roland Rat!
One has a notoriously bad memory, and I think Three's only making a good guess at who the guy in black in (I don't know why none of the Doctors can recognise the Master ever, I though Time Lords had a telepathic connection) - also do you really want him meeting the Master and blurting out "Hey! you're the guy I used to shag at college. Do you remember when..."
I love the fact that it's Turlough doing all the catching and hand holding whilst Tegan bitches away happily.
*breaks out the appropriate icon*
The thing I really adore about this one is I remember so clearly watching it when I was wee, with all my family, and my sisters explaining to me who everyone was. Aww, warms the cockles, etc.
Okay, that's not what he says but it's totally what he *means*.
Well, *I* liked it anyway.
And I'm pretty sure the original version had the multiple TARDISes dematerilizing too, which was way cooler than how they changed it. I dunno, the extended version had good & bad bits, and I wish I'd kept my copy of the original version
even if I probably still have it memorized enough that when I go through I can see which are the newer bits.*drool* hand porn... I eagerly await the icons! XD And I love the parts where Five is all unconscious and Turlough's hovering over him. I could shout at the mountain tops "OTP!" but I doubt many people would get what I was screaming, then they'd think I was trapped in an avalanche and call a rescue team or something...
One thing: ...Am I the only one who thought that Rassilon sounded exactly like the guy that sang, "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch"? *blush*
OTP indeed. Never has there been such hugging on board. Well, not since Romana II, anyway...
Why does everyone on Gallifrey have to be so god damned fabulous all the time?!
The minute he gets to Gallifrey, Fivey puts on a phenomenal amount of eyeliner.
Damn, I love my new fandom!
Have tried to join who-eps and my invitation remains lost in the post:( I will give you lovely Five eps, you sillies!
Also, as spiritedchaos has noted elsewhere, Susan is clearly eyeing up Five. Which is WRONG.
* As is Sarah-Jane.
* It's very gay.
* Is that the version with the vomiting Cyberman for I hear he is not in every version?
* Even in their tiny wee bit from Shada it is clear that Four and Romana are in LOVE.
Vomiting Cyberman? Do you know which bit he's meant to be in? I didn't notice him, but I may have been distracted by Sarah's 'fashion'.
I love that Tom bit. He has such good boots, and the script is pleasingly daffy as one would expect from Dougie. And they are having teh sex.
Should I put the new Benton/Yates on there? Again - it's practically canon! (This is apparently my new catchphrase, to replace the Black Guardian.)
I think otherwise it's up to date. Will happily make 'prize' icons if that's the sort of think people might like.
"And not humiliate me first, ooh, that isn't your style at all" IS THE SLASHIEST LINE EVER. Torrents of BDSM images flood the brain with that. I mean, REALLY. HELLO. And yes, he's drooling at the idea of humiliating the Doc.
Also, it's in Wales and near Portmeirion and that place always looks rather miserable but omg, WALES. Last August, me and the übergeek Petey-fancying ex went down to a boring slate mine ONLY because it had had Troughton and YETIS. Walespr0n!
Also, Five looks so damn gay when he plucks the Harp Of Rassilon. Which is of the good, I guess.
Still never been to Portmeirion (woes), being a South Welsh girlie who doesn't have a car. But I have stood under the Dalek sign in Llangollen grinning like an idiot. (Mainly because I was about to leave Llangollen. God, what a hole.)
The Harp of Rassilon. I swear, is there anything on Gallifrey that man doesn't own?
'A sequence of notes...A TUNE!' Kills me every time.
It's not your bad memory - the Tardis definitely did a kool thing where 4 of them kind of dematerialised out of one. I wasn't a big fan of the changes. Still not forgiving them for making Rasslions voice no longer camp.
There's a BRILLIANT commentary for this by Peter Davison and Terrance Dicks, but it's only available on the Region 1 DVD. I could stick it on yousendit if you like?
God, if you could YSI it I would...um...well, virtual crumpets at the very least.
(They made Rassilon's voice less camp? I thought he was pretty camp in this version: damn, really do need to watch the original somehow...)
*hops excitedly at thought of commentary for the wonderful Five Doctors, with the divine Petey no less*
