mraltariel: So, the Troughton era. The stories continue their general decline in quality since Hartnell's second season. And we've seen amongst the best (Jamie and Zoe) and worst (Victoria) of the companions we've ever had. However, in this last season, there have been some glimpses of how you can make good Doctor Who even when you've exhausted all the basic plots.
altariel: Yes, things like "The Web of Fear" and "Fury from the Deep". And of course, like you said, there's nothing remarkable about the plot of "The War Games", but the energy and belief that's put into it make it something special.
mraltariel: That said, they're going to need to give it a kick up the arse if it's going to carry on.
altariel: I think they should make it in colour and on film.
mraltariel: And - and I cannot stress this enough - they should avoid throwing away the pictures.
altariel: Yes, that would help.
