With props to Allen Who and his original thread it got me thinking and thought I would reverse the question.
So which episodes have you really loved/liked at the time of broadcast or first viewing that you have since fallen out of love with?
The Unicorn and the Wasp- really enjoyed the tone of this first time around but has become highly skippable on rewatches. Some good humour but pretty lightweight for the most part.
The Bells of St John - enjoyable enough but i now find it very weak, flimsy plotting, rubbish central idea, another half arsed villain/monster, pointless inclusion of the GI. Despite a few whizz bang moments this is the worst 'companion intro' episode of New Who (allowing for the fact we have seen Clara previously).
The Stolen Earth/Journeys End- thought this was the finest thing in history on first viewing. Blame drink, hype and excitement about all the fan service. On reflection its flaws get more obvious everytime you watch. Some appalling dialogue. A pathetic resolution. The ruination of Roses story and desecration of Bad Wolf Bay. Its still watchable in the extreme and I would never say it was bad. But i thought it was a DW masterpiece and that has changed!
