Given their complete lack of support, the McCoy era turned out some very nice sequences and FX.. And seasons 25 and 26 were very, very good (though I find little to praise about Silver Nemesis… grrr, argh!).

Well, clearly no reason to bring up the Doctor and Peri's epic half-the-length-of-the-story trip through the woods..
Thanks to Graeme Harpers direction, I quite enjoyed this the first time I saw it… the second time I was 'Hang about.. this makes no sense!!!'. And really.. I.. don't.. get.. it. What exactly is the…

Different Byrne, though… would have been extra awesomesauce if it had been the same person!

Sadly, I found the Dalek mercenary costumes to be weirdly awesome.. including the helmet!
This episode is really just.. very unpleasant. Which one realizes right in the first minute with a horde of panicky escapees (and one bum) being gunned down in cold blood. 
Mine the corridor. Would be nice to have a second mine. 
Bod…

The Destroyer was pretty neat, though!
And I've always found the FX of the starship taking off in Dragonfire to have been quite lovely (caveat: Haven't seen it for a while!).

Though, that said, the Russians are pretty ruthless at dispatching the British patrol, and then disturbingly ebullient over it. To Sorins and his sergeants discomfort.

Four.

The Tenth Doctors attitude to UNIT leaves me seething, really.. he is unbearably rude to Col Mace all the time (doesn't even have the dignity to apologize at the end, or shake hands, or anything), and even gives all that guff to Martha about how she should leave it at the conclusion of Journeys End because he is so…

Oddly, as we see in Mindwarp, all of the slug-peoples flunkies are black, bearers and armed guards alike (Crozier was pretty Aryan, but he was an offworld flunky).

I really liked Revelation the first time I saw it.
The second time, I realized it was really thanks to the direction (Graeme Harper strikes again!) because, really, while the story has some interesting aspects, it doesn't make a jot of sense. Completely style over substance.

I was not happy with the bad guys being Pakistani, and having the Indian army turn up as the rescue party. That is all. 
OK, not all..  was Passage Part 2 the episode in which we saw Sydney killing with much more abandon than she had previously? My memories of Alias are hazy, but there was a period where Sydneys…

So this was, of course, the episode that caused the great UNIT dating fiasco.. right?
I haven't actually seen this one, only read the novelization… but it did irk me considerably that the UNIT characters were written out as having such - well, unglamorous fates. The Brig teaching maths? Benton selling used cars in…

I'm never quite sure what to make of Chuck.. i mean, on the one hand it's a funny, light adventure but then it's interspersed with stuff like Shaw beating the crap out of Sarah, and of course the fact that Casey and Sarah and sociopaths who are comfortable with murder and torture.

See, now I like Moffatt's Christmas Specials compared to Davies' because.. well, Moffatts just feel more Christmassy. They don't have snowfall that is ash from a shipload of vapourized beings,  genocide, mass murder in a graveyard , the nastiness of people surviving a space wreck only to get murdered by robots.. I'm…

I could be wrong.. but wasn't it actually ghost-written by Alan Dean Foster? Or am I thinking about the Star Wars novelization? 
Though, it's Alan Dean Foster… he could have done both!

Oh, there's a lot to like in 'Warriors of the Deep', actually.. Didn't mean to knock the episode. The Myrka is unforgiveable, though. It's like the toy tank in 'Robot'. I forgive Who many things, but occasionally it crosses the line.
It's too bad, of course, that the Seabase was not a shadowy, leaky facility as was…

Well, there's nary a mention of the Silurians in 'Sea Devils'. Though in 'Warriors of the Deep' we suddenly learn they are cousins. With a shared fondness for a shocking panto horse.
