I'd disagree strongly about Talons and Fenric. They're two that I probably would choose to introduce someone to the classic show.
I can't understand why people crucify Bone for having an intelligent, informed and accurate opinion...
That's so nice of you, I may just put it in my sig
Except it turned the Daleks into mindless robots for all subsequent stories (with the exception of maybe Remembrance), hence my dislike for it.
I don't think that's true of Resurrection either. And Revelation was more about Davros anyway. They were certainly mindless robots in Destiny though. After all, they're supposedly locked in a logical stalemate with the android Movellans, and no side is getting an advantage because they both think like machines. It's like Terry Nation forgot what his own creations were, though I've also heard Doug Adams may have done most of the writing.
Personally, I liked the Twin Dilemma, but that's just me. I'm a huge Sixth Doctor Fan, so I know I'm in the minority, LOL.
There's a few of us about. He's my favourite Doctor, and I'm fairly sure he's OmahaStar's as well. As for The Twin Dilemma, I don't think it's that bad at all. It is very silly, but it's quite pacy for old Who (which, in appealing to new Who only fans, is fairly crucial). There'd been at least half a dozen worse Davison stories in the preceding years.
I think if you can put up with some of the crap nuWho has offered, watching classic Who would be welcome relief.
This is true enough, except the audience to which new Who appeals probably wouldn't have much time for the old show. At its best, the old show was clever and about ideas, even if the budget was limited. I gave Doctor Who and the Silurians a recent rewatch, and I rate it among the very best. But new Who too often relies on spectacle and pace rather than being clever or thought-provoking. And that seems to be what most people are more concerned with these days. They'd probably get bored of Doctor Who and the Silurians within 10 minutes and switch over to whatever rubbish they put on ITV these days. Something with Vernon Kay probably.
