random prediction for teh future!!

when doctor who is run by seventh doctor fans in ten years, "the curse of fenric" will be held up as the best doctor who evah the way "the caves of androzani" is now. except in ten years people will be actually right.

It's not just me who watched "Caves of Androzani" and went, "THIS is supposed to be the Old School serial to end all Old School serials? WHY?" (And I say this as someone who loves anorak picks like "Pyramids of Mars.")

other than the fact that objectification of peri was so blatant and tactless i could barely watch it, i either hated or was bored by every character in it and didn't care if they lived or died. whereas, say, "the happiness patrol" made me care about the emotions of fake!margaret thatcher, when i actively can't wait for the real one to die.

WHY DID YOU REMIND ME. Gaah.

"whereas, say, 'the happiness patrol' made me care about the emotions of fake!margaret thatcher, when i actively can't wait for the real one to die."

I hear the "Happiness Patrol" commentary track is an extended Maggie Thatcher hatefest. I'd totally listen to that.
