For sure this is true of so many stories - I think for me this is why my rating takes enjoyment into account a lot, because some stories are bad but bring me such joy that I can only rate them 5 stars.
As far as rating stories are concerned, if I don’t like the story, the story isn’t good. End of story . If I find it enjoyable, then it’s good.
People say The Spectre of Lanyon Moor is written excellently, but it did nothing for me, so, by my standard, it’s not a good story. Conversely, Timelash is notorious for being written “poorly”, but I enjoy it, so I consider it good. I can’t imagine separating a DW story into whether its written “well” (whatever that means) and whether or not I was entertained. They’re one and the same for me.
Average: 3.65
Stories Rated: 688
I tend to use 3.5 as an average when rating stories.
Now I’ve gotten really curious to know which stories people rate 0,5
That’s exactly why I suggested the idea of allowing us to view the breakdowns of other users’ ratings. I’m always fascinated by what people rank below two stars.
Average rating 1.2 . Now I’m curious.
Most of my lowest rated episodes are from K9 with Mind Snap being my only .5 rating
For some reason sending a screenshot of my 0.5 star rating for flagged, but yeah this is my one 0.5 rating
My 0.5 and 1.0 rated stories: Orphan 55, Revenge of the Swarm, A Stain of Red in the Sand, The Ultimate Adventure, Dreamtime, Nekromanteia, Last of the Titans, The Celestial Toymaker and The Web Planet.
It is the lowest rating on TG. It is basically a clip show episode of a show that you don’t want to see clips of again
I’ve got 27 0.5 and 1 star stories I didn’t think I’d rated that many so low haha
For me I have 5 0,5 ratings.
Two K9 episodes: Fear Itself and Aeolian
The VNA: The Dimensions Riders
And both episodes of “The End of Time”
End of time?!?!
thats my two lowest…for now.
Even Bernard Cribbins can begin to save that story - I genuinely can’t think of a single good thing to say about it
For me the best bit is the spit when he is shouting at the end of part 1.
Yeah what a waste of a brilliant actor Worst Rassilon ever
