Just for fun I started watching it to see what it even is, and so far it’s pretty fun! Colin Baker’s doctor is a lot of fun, it’s interesting to see a doctor who (hehe) is a bit more full of themselves.
From what I gather though, people at the time really didn’t like it, but that could have just been because of Colin Baker. Now that general opinion of Colin Baker is much better and we can revisit those episodes without as much bias, I’m interested in what the general verdict on this season is. Do people still hate it? Is it a cult classic? Do people just think it’s meh?
it’s pompous, over ambitious, and all over the place; and that’s why it’s so good. i liked it.
Agreed on all points!
One thing fans of modern Who are missing out on is the occasional pompous grandeur of the Colin Baker era. Though I give credit to some Capaldi episodes for getting into the same ballpark.
