Agree with Cunty a little. Americans should limit themselves to putting up backing for Doctor Who, as far as involvement. Otherwise, let the Brits do their thing.

The TV Movie for all of its cheese and fail has at least two very strong things going for it:

  • 1) The design of the console room. Fuck-ing beautiful! The best console room design ever seen in any incarnation of Who, imo.

    2) Paul McGann/8th Doctor. He was solid as a rock from his first appearance. The Lord Byron of incarnations. The romantic action hero. He absolutely deserves to get more screentime.


Eric Roberts was horrid. But, then again, he was only a few steps from Anthoney Ainley's twisting-mustache panto incarnation. So, I can live with it (if I have to). And, as of this last finale story, the whole 'half-human' thing has been decidedly swept under the rug. So, I'm good there.

For me, the only truly bad thing about 'The Enemy Within' is the amount of potential it wasted by having a script penned, by what must have been, a large team of drunken otters. Because, it made noooooooo fucking sense whatsoever.

And I'm still biding my time for the Chang Lee/Mickey Smith team-up episode...
