Just rewatched Fear Her for the first time in ages. Its far from the worst. Its not even "that" bad. Don't get me wrong, it just barely makes it over the line to be classed as average, but one of the all time worst? No way. 10 and Rose work well together as always (and that's an issue with Jodie and co: had it been the current TARDIS crew this would have been hard to get through). The idea behind the Story is a good one, albeit one which could have been executed a lot better. One of the highlights was the drawing of Chloe's dad coming to life: I'd like to have seen more of that, drawings killing people and being a threat. Not just humans, but potentially anything from Chloe's imagination... Or even, maybe she could have somehow got into the Doctors mind, seeing all that he's seen, allowing her to draw Drashigs, Zygons, Macra etc, as well as the big monsters like the Daleks or Cybermen (even if they're both an episode away). I just find the concept of that to be amazing, drawings of old enemies coming to life as opposed to that scribble monster thing that barely does anything. I LOVED the ending, where the Doctor basically finishes the Olympics. Overall, its just a 6/10, with the final 5 minutes, 10/Rose and the Story saving it from being below average with a 5 or lower. As brief as the actual threat was in this Story with the drawing coming to life at the end, at least this was some kind of threat due to the direction and build up. Certainly more threatening than anything from Series 11. I haven't ranked anything from Series 1-2 as being less than a 6/10 and I already know 3 and 4 will be the same having seen them a lot (Series 2 was the one I re watched the least, aside from the finale). RTD was a genius as showrunner. The most consistent the show has ever been since Barry Letts and Terrance Dicks were producer/head writer. |

Doctor Who over the years: Episode quotes Resurrection Of The Daleks – Part 1Calder: It's heavy static. Can't get through to HQ. The Doctor: A side effect of the Time Corridor. Archer: Be quiet. (Tegan knocks something over.) Who's that? The Doctor: Don't harm her, please. She's a friend. Tegan: Sorry, Doctor. Look! (There is a purple glow by the wall, then a Dalek appears.) Archer: What is it? The Doctor: A Dalek. Take cover! (Everyone scatters.) Dalek: Exterminate. Exterminate. Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Resurrection Of The Daleks – Part 2Davros: Who are you? Lytton: Commander Lytton. Davros: Commander? My Daleks do not need troops. Lytton: You'd still be in prison or dead if it weren't for my men. Davros: You speak as though my Daleks are no longer capable of war. Lytton: A lot has happened during your imprisonment. Davros: The war with the Movellans is over? Lytton: Yes, although casualties were very high. Davros: It is to be expected. Lytton: I'm talking about Dalek casualties. Davros: Dalek casualties? Lytton: They lost, Davros. They were totally defeated. Resurrection Of The Daleks – Part 3Dalek: You must not touch the equipment. The Doctor: Without the threat of death, you're quite powerless, aren't you. Dalek: You will obey. (Stien has put on the Trooper uniform.) Stien: It is unwise to provoke the Daleks, Doctor. The Doctor: However you respond is seen as an act of provocation. I know the Daleks of old. And Davros. I assume he's about here somewhere. Stien: You only invite trouble with your questions. The Doctor: Do you mean it can get worse? Stien: Oh, yes. The Daleks are very capable of devising painful and undignified ways of dying. The Doctor: But not yet. The Daleks need my brainwaves intact, don't they. Resurrection Of The Daleks – Part 4Turlough: Are you sure all the duplicates are unstable? The Doctor: Oh, yes. Yes, given time they'll all be free of Dalek control. Turlough: Shouldn't we inform Earth's authorities? The Doctor: Er yes. Yes, indeed. Come along. Tegan: I'm not coming with you. The Doctor: I beg your pardon? Tegan: I'm tired of it. The Doctor: What's the matter? Tegan: A lot of good people have died today. I think I'm sick of it. The Doctor: You think I wanted it this way? Tegan: No. It's just that I don't think I can go on. The Doctor: You want to stay on Earth. Tegan: My Aunt Vanessa said, when I became an air stewardess, if you stop enjoying it, give it up. The Doctor: Tegan Tegan: It's stopped being fun, Doctor. Goodbye. Turlough. (They shake hands.) Turlough: Goodbye. Tegan: I'll miss you both. The Doctor: No, no, don't leave, not like this. Tegan: I must. I'm sorry. Goodbye. (Tegan runs out of the warehouse in tears.) The Doctor: It's strange. I left Gallifrey for similar reasons. I'd grown tired of their lifestyle. It seems I must mend my ways. Come along. (The Doctor and Turlough enter the Tardis and it dematerialises. Tegan returns.) Tegan: Brave heart, Tegan. Doctor, I will miss you.
