I voted to get rid of Warriors of the Deep. I’m not a huge fan of the story but it’s literally too good for this game :stuck_out_tongue:

Was this what you intend to do?

Great. I might have done this too hard for us.

I think it’s fun! We’ll get used to it. I recommend everyone just follow the copied and pasted instructions very procedurally to avoid mistakes.

It is more fun this way :wink:

And I do need to practice my second-grade math from time to time. I haven’t been doing any math by heart since Alipay got popular :sweat_smile:

People, we can get there!

It’s an app for mobile payment that’s widely popular here in China, along with WeChat Pay. Alipay got like over 550 million users by 2010. I think I completely stopped carrying any cash since first year of high school (2018).

That character you see when using Tip Jar is their trademark. Thanks @shauny for including these two so I can get Rassilon’s Seal of Patron!

Pretty impressive how there’s no Third Doctor stories in the bottom twenty!

I’m not one to go around saying if a story is bad but…

Let’s just say I’m going to be upvoting Orphan 55 for the first ever time!

Why do you all hate legend of the sea devils :sob: it may not be great for everyone, but it’s certainly not the worst

I think it’s one of the worst made and worst edited stories of the modern series. Madam Qing underutilized, the other guy wasn’t even named beyond the credits. Wasn’t much of a plot to it. The stuff on the ship was so obviously a set. Brought back the Sea Devils to not have them do all that much. And top it off with supposedly being an Easter special and it’s shorter than a normal episode made it really not worth the wait after Eve. The whole thing is a mess, and I’d say worthy of a bottom 20 spot.

I do understand and agree with all your points.

I kind of agree with most you have to say about this story.

There are however three things I would like to highlight:

  1. 13’s outfit.
  2. Dan’s outfit.
  3. Dan’s phonecall with Diane on the beach.

(But somehow the thing that bugs me is the giant fossilised Sea Devil turning into a regular sized Sea Devil)
(Oh and no Myrka)

You can’t tell me the sea monster wasn’t a Myrka. Just wasn’t named. But yes, I think those things are why it’s a 3/10 for me instead of lower. (Still makes my personal bottom 20, according to my spreadsheet, but the top of the bottom 20)

Only 9 of the original list make my bottom 20 btw. 12 of the best list make my top 20 (though they’d technically only be 10 on mine, because I rank and consider the stories as a whole instead of splitting two-parters like TG does)

I do understand what you say but for me, none of that makes it uniquely bad in comparison with other doctor who, there are so many episodes with a messy plot and underutilized characters. Even though I personally really like it, I get why that might make it bad for some people, I just don’t get why it appears to be so widely hated. I feel like the point with it being a recent special might have something to do with it, so many people might have only watched it once upon release and not rewatched it since
