If he hates it this bad right now, I can't wait til he gets to "Let's Kill Hitler." I mean, that poo poo is where I stopped liking New Who, and I'm pretty spergy about Doctor Who. (Tom Baker 4 Life)

Aliens of London is pretty terrible. If anyone but Eccleston had been the Doctor, I'd never have gotten into it. But, boy, is most of Eccleston's season terrible aside from his acting elevating the story. (Now I like all the Doctors, mainly for their acting.)

I really liked this episode when I was first getting into the show, but I rewatched it recently, and it's pretty dumb. It's OK, and I like the Doctor just screwing Adam over at the end. That's pretty funny to me.

The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances hold up fairly well, unlike a lot of series one. I enjoy the Hell out of the cliffhanger.

I kind of like "Boom Town" but I more or less completely agree with this statement:Toxxupation posted:gently caress this piece of poo poo show, gently caress you Russell T. Davies, you're a lazy hack piece of poo poo screenwriter who completely violated the most basic, most integral tenet of a storyteller, don't lie to your audience. Christ.

Say what you will about the Cybermen in this episode, it's still nowhere near as bad a story as "Silver Nemesis." (Which I know Occupation will never watch. And he's better off for it.)

"Love and Monsters" is an episode that I love BECAUSE it's so terrible. Unlike most bad episodes, this one is hilariously bad, not just painful to watch.

EDIT: Don't open this til after you've seen the next episode. Jerusalem has corrected me. It's a pretty funny cartoon about something that happens in the next episode. Forgive me. I think this is part of the cliffhanger of the newest episode. Forgive me if I'm not remembering right, and in case it isn't, I'm not posting it directly. Either way, it's a pretty funny joke and maybe don't open it til you watch the next episode. http://imgur.com/qpMagnN egon_beeblebrox fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Sep 7, 2014 |

I love a lot of the Big Finish stories, too, don't get me wrong, but given Occupation's lukewarm reaction to the revival this far in, it wouldn't be a bad idea to drop trying to recommend various audio stories in this thread. It took me a long time to give Big Finish a shot, and that's after having watched all the way through series five of the new show and a ton of the old show.

I'm going to have to rewatch this, because I don't remember the cartoon dynamite. I probably hated it at the time, and at this point, I think it would crack me up.

kant posted:I really wish we could watch part 2 live. Words aren't going to do it justice. Yeah, had any of the other episodes after "Blink" been chosen, I'd have chatted about it. Nothing to say about the quality of each, but it would have been more interesting. "Blink" is great, but not much fun to talk about, since pretty much everyone has said pretty much everything about it. egon_beeblebrox fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Sep 30, 2014 |

This is the only episode Occ's reviews have changed my mind about. I remember disliking it, but, seen through his lens, it's a pretty great, bizarre, hilarious episode. I still think it's bad Doctor Who, but this review made me realize, that's not necessarily a Bad Thing. re: Grits Tim Burns Effect posted:Usually with an ungodly amount of butter and salt, just like all other food that's popular in the Southern US. It's pretty great served over eggs and cheese, with bacon on the side. Or, instead of bacon, fatback. Which is disgusting. Anyway, I agree with the idea of watching "Time Crash." It's available on Youtube, and it'll be interesting to get Occ and Oxx's views on it. Plus it's only like 4 minutes long.

marktheando posted:There are other reasons I dislike this interpretation of the Master but I can't really talk about it without spoilers. However, he is better than the Eric Roberts version of the Master. Eric Roberts is terrible except for the part where he's just dicking around and correcting grammar. That part is great, and Roberts owns it.

The only Sontaran story I've liked is "The Sontaran Experiment," the Fourth Doctor's third serial. It was good, and it was short. And every other Sontaran story has irritated me in one way or the other. So it's been around 40 years since I've liked Sontarans at all.

Jurgan posted:I don't think this episode is bad, per se, just incredibly over the top and campy. In other words, why wouldn't Toxx like it? Okay, he won't know who the gently caress Timothy Dalton is playing. Yeah, I really kind of like this two-parter, even though it's pretty bad. It's kind of lovably bad in how silly it is, and Wilf is always great. Also, Timothy Dalton can be terrible anywhere he wants, I will still watch him.

But she said "Suddenly it's more of a sci-fi sitcom and it works." It's a pretty fair description of this episode. egon_beeblebrox fucked around with this message at 08:19 on Jan 4, 2015 |

I'm a fan of Sarah Jane Smith and Liz Slaydon, but man those credits make her look like she's been cyber-converted or something! I like to think she was just incredibly high, because you'd have to be to star in a K-9 sitcom.
