Ratings of the 4th Doctor's Episodes...

Chase had posted in the previous forums his ratings of Tom Baker's episodes. I find it to be very useful and insightful. So much in fact that I wanted to carry it on over to the new forums for further discussion.

I myself am still catching up on classic who and may have seen some of these only once or remember bits and pieces of episodes. Well, here are my ratings:

The City of Death - 9/10 This was the first full Tom Baker episode I've watch in my adult years. It was a great episode to rekindle my fondness for the doctor and it exemplified why the series was so fun. Tom's wittiness and humor really shine in this one.

The Armageddon Factor - 6/10

The Pirate Planet - 6/10

The Stones of Blood - 7/10

The Talons of Weng-Chiang - 6/10 Just recently picked up a copy of this to check it out again. Didn't intrigue me too much and the sleuthiness seemed to drag on, but still going to re-evaluated it. If nothing else it was fairly humorous. I can, however, see how it was offensive and understand why it was not rebroadcasted in Ontario. I also felt a similar reaction to Turn Left with Chipo Chung's role as the fortune teller. Her portrayal felt overly stereotypical/offensive - almost like minstrel shows and actors i.e. Uncle Remus. I also would've preferred more kung fu in this episode and less kung fu in Tooth and Claw!

Horror of Fang Rock - 9/10 Great episode, great story.

Pyramids of Mars - 8/10

The Robots of Death - 9/10 Wonderful story and Leela's outfit - Nuff said!

Genesis of the Daleks - 8/10

...really looking forward to finally seeing Logopolis!
