Remembrance of the Daleks is awesome. And I agree, Ace is the strong female done right. She's strong, but she's a real person, not a hyped up version. She gets hurt, gets scared, but still does what needs to be done. And kicks ass, but in a way that we could, if we were brave enough.
And, yeah, I love some of the explanations in Classic Who, it's done in simple, fun language, but it conveys serious ideas. Racial purity, chromosomes, advanced tech. And then it has the Doctor rewiring a transmat so a Dalek will blow itself up if it tries to use it, by having one half materialize where the other half was.
And I completely agree about, "Doctor being an adult and not whining." I think that is the one thing from Classic I miss the most, the Doctor could be carefree, but still be an adult, could be deep and serious, but not be moping or whining. I miss an adult Doctor.
There's loads more of Classic to enjoy. Are you just concentrating on the 7th Doctor era or are you open to other suggestions too? If so, I'd suggest "Horror of Fang Rock" with 4 and Leela.
