I fear my love affair with Dr. Who has come to a halting thud. It could be that this is the first series I’ve watched that didn’t star the Fourth Doctor, Tom Baker. Or it could be that 80s cheap sci-fi effects don’t hold the same thrall for me that 70s cheap sci-fi effects do. Or it could be that this particular series was just very dull, and had about as much depth as old Buck Rogers serials you sometimes catch at the Tut Movie Palace at the American Museum of the Moving Image (or even, shudder, “The Phantom Menance.”) Either way you cut it, this flat out blew. All the other Dr. Who DVDs that I requested have been sent back down to the bottom of the Netflix queue, at least temporarily.
