3 weeks till new Who!

[Grumpy RPG Reviews]

I thought everyone agreed Love and Monsters was the worst of New Who, and one of the worst of the entire show.

"NuWho" is ugly, but it seems to be pretty clear that we are stuck with it.
VoD not only rebooted the Daleks, but had Bill Patterson as the Professor--haven't seen him in anything for years. Sadly, that's where the good ends. Churchill actor was awful, as was... just about everything else.
L&M wasn't the worst, but it is a very off-beat episode that doesn't really fit in that well. OK, I skipped it myself last time through.
I think worst may be the sea pirates taking over a space ship.
I decided to go ahead and rewatch 5&6 to see if I can find what it is that everyone else seems to enjoy about them. Still looking.

[Edit - what's the point? I give up. Enjoy!]

Links don't matter, apparently.

Because sometimes it's just the mood I'm in when I watched it the first time, and later re-watch changes my opinion.
Sometimes: "well, it isn't good, but compared to everything else that's on... Or to what came later..."

...later... changes my opinion.

Sorry. Do not believe. No proof without photos.

I'll still take "Love and Monsters" over "Fear Her" any day of the week.

And besides, we all know the worst episode of Who ever was "Greatest Show in the Galaxy", Right?

Another weird Moffatism: Did Clara's mom die the day the Autons attacked in S1E1?

Love & Monsters was worse by miles.

I've actually never understood the overwhelming loathing peopel have for "Love & Monsters". I don't think it's top tier, but I thought it was an interesting story that was well told. Possibly I'm biased because I like Marc Warren and Shirley Henderson.

In the Moffat seasons, I would easily rank "Victory of the Daleks", "Vampires of Venice", and "Curse of the Black Spot" below "Love & Monsters". I'd probably also toss "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship", "A Town Called Mercy", "The Power of Three", "The Angels Take Manhattan", and probably "The Snowmen" onto that list. (But several of those I've only seen once, so won't swear to it.)
