An episode you wish hadn't been made: The Long Game

I really don't have that much against this episode, but I watched it when I was still in my transition period between reluctant and casual viewer and I just remember it being fairly generic and boring. Regardless, this episode still needs to exist because it sets the stage for the season finale.

I guess you could say Four to Doomsday is a runner-up because of Adric's fail-behavior, but it also had DANCING ANDROID ABORIGINES/GREEKS/MAYANS/DRAGONS IN SPACE (and Adric actually doing a cool thing or two), so it stays. The Twin Dilemma, as much as I railed on it in my commentary, is something I dislike more for the way the Doctor was written than for the actual story, so I'll let that slide too.

And, just to get this out of the way, I am actually one of those people who thought Love and Monsters was a fascinating concept, despite the fact that I try not to think too much about...that...ending...

You know, in the end I think it's kinda silly to wish that Who episodes hadn't been made, because that would mean less Who in the world.
