The Ten Worst Episodes of Doctor Who (According to Me) #1-5

[fauxkaren]

Sometime in the next week, I shall post my list of the 10 Best Episodes of Doctor Who since focusing on the worst is just a lot of negativity, but for now here are the Worst Episodes of Doctor Who!

Fixed! Thanks for letting me know!

Lol, you have the order of the last two pictures switched! ;) And did you not like the Amy/Rory flashbacks in the LKH epp? For me that was the main positive, annoying Mels aside, since I loved finally getting more of their story fleshed out. OH, AND ELEVEN SEEING ROSE, MARTHA, AND DONNA OF COURSE!!!

But yeah otherwise so offensive and awful (though I do like the new coat, I just love guys in long coats), and IA with your top 5 besides the Lazarus epp--I despised it at first, but I don't think it's still as bad as a lot og other epps. (And ooh you lived near Southwark Cathedral?! Nice! I visited there last year).

And IA about the Daleks in Manhattan and L&M epps, esp in the latter case--I thought it was lots of fun, and loved Jackie's bit especially, until the weird end...

I think I might have moved the order a bit of some of these epps, but otherwise a pretty good Top Ten!

haha. Yeah, I've fixed the pictures now! There was a lot of C&P involved in putting together this entry and the pictures were a casualty of C&P. The Amy/Rory flashbacks in LKH weren't bad, but they're kind of tainted for me by virtue of the fact that the point of them is to be like "look! Amy and Rory grew up with their kid! Now it's totes cool that they'll never get to raise their baby." Seeing Rose was nice though.

And yep! I lived like a 15 minute walk away from Southwark Cathedral. So I walked past it all the time. Never went inside though. I just ate food from Borough Market outside of it. heh.

Ranting about some of Moffat's stuff is SO cathartic. Guh. Series 6 was so awful. WHYYYYY?

I like the NY Dalek eps too. They have heart =)

There is so much I can't forgive GITF for, and I've said it so many times but idc, I'll keep saying it. I could hand wave so much away, but the fact that he sends Rose and Mickey into a spaceship that just slaughtered an entire space station crew ... and then disappears to go to a party??? Nononono.

The one thing I'm a smidge grateful for is Moffat's public comment that Reinette's use of the word dancing was as flirtation, and that nothing besides party!time happened that night. Besides being ooc, can you imagine that? And then the next thing Ten would have done in that case is to send in the companion-he's-in-love-with-yet-had-abandoned-to-DIE-for-that-purpose in to talk with the woman-he-had-had-a-one-night-stand with?

Omg my hatred of Ten would know NO bounds. I would be cheering during The End of Time, for realz.

I just tend to not think of TGitF as canon. Moffaten is such a douche. Kali pointed out a line from the library episodes where Ten tells Donna that he lied to her to shut her up. UGH.

[kilodalton]

I'd like to do that, but it is juuuuust enough in sync with other early s2 canon (in terms of Ten pushing Rose away emotionally, Ten running after shiny objects during an adventure and kind of leaving Rose in a lurch), that it is hard for me to discount it 100% because I do see a few trends there that are in keeping with how actual!Ten acts.

That and, in general, it's really hard for me to accept some things as canon and handwave away others. It's a skill I've yet to develop lol.

There's also a line Moffat wrote that got cut, which I can't remember the exact phrasing of, unfortunately, but when Ten sends Donna back to the TARDIS to keep her safe he makes some comment about how great it is to have an off button for Donna.

It's SUCH a ridiculous episode. I just cannot with it. I cannot with River's whole story, really.
