I always feel as though I should put The Horns of Nimon in both lists, it's a guilty pleasure.
I could watch this on a loop for an hour or two - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRUqJSCOyZ4 Or the remix... - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98MxxpzIoyg |

1 The Talons of Weng Chiang
2 The Pyramids of Mars 3 City of Death 4 The Seeds of Doom 5 Genesis of the Daleks 6 The Ribos Operation 7 Terror of the Zygons 8 Horror of Fang Rock 9 Shada 10 The Androids of Tara 11 The Deadly Assassin/ Invasion of Time 12 The Android Invasion 13 The Sontaran Experiment 14 The Ark in Space I still haven't watched the Invisable Enemy,Image of Fendahl or the Sun Makers. I watched episode 1 of Image, its sorta meh. I thought it would waste my time and really there could be better Doctor Whos to watch. Its not exactly highly praised. Worst would be about the same 1 Underworld - Episode 1 is decent but the rest dont make sence and are poorly acted. I enjoyed Episode 1 though. 2 The Armgeddon Factor - Padded, shit writing, and a crape villian too. The shadow is such an awful villian. Do you see the way he loses? The Doctor just picks up the Key to Time and thats it. Also a weak conclusion, the Key to Time is sent back into the original places which means that the quest was pointless in the first place. 3 The Pirate Planet - I find it hard to enjoy this one. The captain is a little bit OTT and the plot is so far fetched. But its much better than the two above I'll give it that. 4 Logopolis - Tom Baker looks incongruous because peter davidsons companions are making themselves at home. The plot is just a bit weird. The watcher stuff dosent really do it for me and the ending is weak too. How is the unerverse saved despite the Logopolons ( or whatever they are called) being all dead? 5 The Leisure Hive - Its basically they tried to make it look nice but it was a shite story to work on. The way they die is weird too, Marbles fall out of their hair. Why does everyone hate the Invasion of Time its quite a cool story and Tom Baker seems like hes enjoying himself too. Or maybe its that is was my second Tom Baker story for me to see. I do like the robots of death but I havent watched it for a long time so I cant put it into my favourites section. It seems like I'm doing a new order everytime But the thing is that I can't make up my mind. I mean I can say which ones I like and dislike but putting them in order is so hard for me. But maybe nobody gives a shit so I will probelly stop the changing mind thing. Companions 1 Sarah Jane 2 Romana 2 3 Romana 1 4 Leela 5 Harry Sulivan 6 K.9 7 Adric Leela is not the best Tom Baker girl but is still my 7th best Doctor Who Companion of all time. |

Can somebody say why they hate meglos so much. I don't understand the strong dislike for that story. Just like the horns of nimon its not a classic but its decent and fun to watch. I think Warriors Gate is probelly a classic though. I think the story is robelly hard to understand and some things are not explained but they made it well all in all.
I'm going to watch the Image of Fendahl. I watched Episode 1 and I thought it was quite good. No doubt many of the same criticisms apply to Horns of Nimon, but it's done with such relish that it succeeds as cheesy fun. And Graham Crowden isn't "not very good" (which would be dull), he's so stratospherically OTT that he passes beyond ham and becomes magnificent. |

I have completed the fourth doctor era. I had three more to watch I hated the invisable enemy, i thought The Image of Fendahl was fine and I loved The Sun Makers, its great fun
FAVOURITES 1 The Talons of Weng Chiang 2 The Pyramids of Mars 3 City of Death 4 The Seeds of Doom 5 Genesis of the Daleks 6 The Sun Makers 7 The Face of Evil 8 Terror of the Zygons 9 Horror of Fang Rock 10 The Deadly Assassin Honourable Mentions: Ark in Space, The Sontaran Experiment, Revenge of the Cybermen, The Android Invasion, Robots of Death, Image of Fendahl, The Invasion of Time, The Ribos Operation, The Stones of Blood, The Androids of Tara and Shada. Worst 1 Underworld :yawn::yawn::yawn: 2 Invisible Enemy :yawn::yawn: 3 The Armageddon Shit Factor :yawn: 4 The Pirate Planet ![]() Worsts are easy Seasons 1) Season 13 - All of the Stories at least average and at best great 2) Season 14 - Fantastic stories in this season apart from Masque of Mandragora ( it wasent necessarily bad but it was under average) 3) Season 12 - The most Iconic season, great stories. Oh and Robot ![]() 4) Season 15 - The only problems I had with this season were Underworld and the Invisible Enemy. 5) Season 16 - The Key to time was hit and miss really. Ribos Operation, Stones of Blood and Androids of Tara were great. Power of Kroll was alright. The Pirate Planet and the Armgeddon factor were awful. 6) Season 17 - Really the Only stoies I liked in this Season were Shada and City of Death 7 Season 18 - None of my favourite episodes were in this season, theres just average or bad and it dosent suit Tom Baker. I liked Warriors Gate though. It Probelly is a classic but maybe its not. Companions Favourites: All the girls and Harry Worst: Adric On the Whole Tom Bakers Era is a bit of a mixed bag, you got the Average ones, the under average ones, you got the over average ones, you got the awful ones and real classics. |

Meglos isn't the worst of episodes, but the plot is poorly thought out. The idea of having a cactus as the bad guy probably seemed really different, but it didn't really work and he was given no real motivation. Also, the plot never really stirred up much excitement and a couple of the actors weren't very good.
