To all you lonely Whovians out there...
...this thread is for you!
Here i rank my least favorite Doctor Who episodes of Series 1-7.
Spot 10: The Lazarus Experiment
This episode could have been actually pretty good, but it was just lacking that spark. Tennant didn't try his hardest, and you felt no emotional bond to Martha, her mom, or Tish. Also Gatiss should stick to writing, just saying.
Spot 9: The Age of Steel/Rise of the Cybermen
The only reason this episode isn't lower down the list is because a) the Cyberman redesign is really well done and b) Mickey/Ricky. To be honest, upon first viewing, I didn't want to watch Part 2 because the whole "Parallel Universe" was done earlier and better, but Mickey made me keep going. His sendoff was very well done.
"Delete...this episode from history."
Spot 8: Gridlock
This episode just seemed really boring to me. The idea of being trapped in traffic for life and jumping from car to car could have been done much better.
Perhaps I am not remembering this episode all that well, but it was just meh for me. Nothing really interesting to drive the plot forward.
Spot 7: The Wedding of River Song
WHAT A F*CKING MESS THIS WAS! I ALREADY DIDN'T LIKE HOW SERIES 6 OPENED, AND YOU CAME UP WITH THIS?
Pros: the Silence, Winston Churchill scenes
Cons: pretty much everything else
I didn't care how River ended up. I didn't care how the Doctor survived. I just wanted to see him go on adventures with some people and occasionally get intertwined with their lives.
The companions don't choose the Doctor, the Doctor chooses his companions, which was my problem with Amy encroaching on his life.
Spot 6: The Beast Below
I find that most bad episodes have "The" in the title. Huh.
Just plain boring, useless satire that was done better in "Long Game," an episode i quite liked.
Smilers are pretty scurry tho.
Spot 5: The Bells of Saint John
Oh no! Watch out, the internet might gobble you up!
Not only was it boring, but the enticing scenes weren't exciting. The climax was rushed, and Clara had a better intoduction in "Asylum."
Spot 4: The Curse of the Black Spot
A silly romp on a pirate ship with a misunderstood alien trying to heal the victims or a curse...what?
Just plain unbelievable. I bet writer Stephen Thompson just wanted to be able to say "Yeah, I put the Doctor on a pirate ship. That was me."
The pirates weren't nasty enough, and how many times will they kill Rory?
Spot 3: Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS
Now we're delving into the deep sh*t here. We wanted to see the TARDIS, and we got a library and a few corridors. And a trio of assh*le brothers out of a Farrely movie. Also, what a horrible reset button ending. Like seriously, think of something else Thompson.
"Durr, Doctor on a pirate ship! Yeah!"
Clara was nothing more then a plot device.
Spot 2: The Rings of Ahkaten
To quote Buzzfeed: "This makes no bloody sense."
It has a few good concepts (scratch that: ONE) and just throws the rest out of the water. This episode just made me angry, angry at my girlfriend, angry at my cat, just angry. AND THE CHILD ACTING JUST--
Dishonorable Mention:
The Angels Take Manhattan -
I HATE THIS SO MUCH. THEY RUINED THE ANGELS, THEY RUINED AMY AND RORY, THEY RUINED RIVER, AND THEY RUINED NEW YORK.
Seriously, it was all action no thought. Work on your goodbye episodes Moffat.
AND THE WORST DOCTOR WHO EPISODE OF SEASONS 1 - 7 IS...
Spot 1: Time, Day, and Name of the Doctor
This is just, just really bad. I group these three episodes togther into one giant megadump because there is nothing really that sets them apart from each other.
"But Myths! One of those was the 50th anniversary! How can you say that?"
Because it was sh*t. Like, literal dogsh*t. All three of these episodes were boring, pretentious, masturbatory fantasies which built up characters (sorry, plot devices) that i didn't care about in the first place.
What a waste of talent.
Well that's my list. Leave a comment on how you think it's wrong!
