Doctor Who: Horror of Fang Rock 1977
Horror of Fang Rock is incredible. I wanted to write (and have written) a review that's a million pages long about it's direction and atmosphere and mystery and character work and literally everything. I wanted to write about how it finally makes Leela work, about how it's the exact story Tom Baker was made for, about how it is so unbelievably effective at making you care about characters that are just inevitably doomed.
Horror of Fang Rock is incredible. That's all I have to say. Please watch it.

Doctor Who: The Robots of Death 1977

Doctor Who: The Deadly Assassin 1976
generally ok
gallifrey bits are a lot more boring than I wish they were. this story is really the first proper look we have into time lord society, and it's not very interesting at all.
controversially I think the matrix bits are kind of great. yes, they are so incredibly slow and also quite unimaginative for a computer simulation that could literally place the doctor and goth anywhere you can imagine. but, it's also fun to see tom baker traipse through the jungle.
peaceful assasin prequel when?
