The Ten Worst Episodes of Doctor Who (According to Me) #6-10

[fauxkaren]

Honorable mentions: "The Next Doctor". I might be an RTD stan, but he is not without flaws, and imo this is the worst of his episodes. The Cyber King stuff is ridiculous as is the idea that a giant robot stomping through London would just be forgotten by history. But there is enough flashes of good stuff in the episode to barely save it from making

IA with all of this as you know. I think our lists are near-identical, though just in a different order.

Victory of the Daleks is legit so bad lololol like, it's sort of a different kind of bad than most of these episodes, it doesn't really offend me morally or anything, it just offends me that someone filmed this and thought it was fine. Like with Curse of the Black Spot, which is likewise just... ...bad.

Victory of the Daleks is so bad. When people go on about Mark "Godtiss" and how he should be the best show runner I'm just like "...really?" I mean I don't mind his other scripts he's done for the show, they're not particularly GOOD either. The Unquiet Dead isn't OMG TERRIBLE, but it's not great either and I mostly just enjoy watching Nine fanboy all over Dickens. And The Idiot's Lantern is mostly enjoyable for the Doctor/Rose aspects of it. As a storyteller, he's not great.

IA, ~Godtiss~ can stick to acting IMO because he's never particularly wowed me with any of his writing.

People say this?

I assure you, people did not used to say this. Is it because he's now Moffat's new Sherlock BFF? Because his episodes were never well regarded before.

It's definitely because of Sherlock.
