Sam's opinions give me so much emotional whiplash, going straight from hard agrees to the hardest disagrees. Frontier in Space is soooo good, that's got Pertwee, Manning, and Delgado in top form, and Mind of Evil almost reaches similar heights while having a genuinely inventive plot with wonderful sets (and one of the best UNIT subplots) backdropping it. Biggest agree for me though is how unbelievably trash Invasion of Time and Destiny of the Daleks are. I would genuinely rather watch Time and the Rani.

Controversial opinion but season 12 is the best classic season. You have Tom baker on his first seaosn with sarah and happy. One of the best tardis teams he’s had. No to mention such fun and cool ideas for doctor who. Sure revenge and experiment are not the best, but robot, ark and fucking GENISIS is how you get into doctor who. It shows it all. Low budge, filming in quarries and maybe caves if your lucky, mostly ship settings, but great moments in most parts and fun acting

Maybe it's just because my American self has never seen Quatermass, but I rate both Spearhead from Space and Terror of the Autons a 10. And I love The Mind of Evil because it goes so hard in trying to be weird even though it really isn't and the Master's scheme makes little sense (as usual). And despite my Marxism I just can't get excited about Colony in Space (DW is also too dystopian too often -- if capitalism is really going to last into the year five billion then I wonder why I ever bothered with radical politics). I really can't get with your contrarianism on The Arc in Space, sorry -- but at least we're as one on Genesis and Pyramids and Face of Evil and Talons.

Couldn't agree more with The Armageddon Factor, its genuinely my least favourite DW story...ever. A grating score, awful sound design, drab sets, a borderline parody villain, dull writing, contrivance after contrivance, one of (if not) the worst side casts, honestly weak acting across the board (K9 should not be the best actor in any story) all culminating in an anticlimax that frankly ruins the whole season for me. Not to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty well-versed in expanded media. Big Finish, target novels, wilderness years stuff, comics: the works. So believe me when I say that not only is The Armageddon Factor my least favourite story, but one that I actively and passionately hate. Even the worst stories, from TV, audio, PROSE, I can let live in my head rent free. But The Armageddon Factor, genuinely feels insulting to me, for a multitude of reasons, some of which I don't even know myself.
