That is hands-down the WORST episode I have ever seen, worse than the PREGNANT MOON. Worse than the stuff I saw in the SEVENTIES.
Seriously, I want every SECOND of that time back, and I couldn't even FINISH an episode.
Tell me what you want in an episode, and I'll suggest an episode which will hopefully eradicate the terrible impression.
Several episodes of the show have been powerful enough to make me cry. Several of them have been scary-creepy, but in a way I can actually enjoy, which is rarer than hen's teeth.
The Doctor meeting Shakespeare, complete with magic-using aliens, references to JK Rowling's seventh book (before it came out), and speculations about Shakespeare's flirting... that's the mix of camp, fourth-wall jokes, happy ending, and pop culture entwined in odd ways with the plot or setting-- yes, it's totally absurd, but it feeds my inner child, LOL.
