 My God, Tom Baker was awful! May 22, 2004

Tom's gargantuan reputation cannot conceal the fact that so many of his stories were terrible. aided and abetted by the smug Romana who cannot act to save her life and has to be put with comic buffoon males to make her look smart (ANYONE would be smarter than Brotodac and Gurgger!), Tom can barely hold the attention of the audience in this disposable outing.
The main gripes are that this is basically a giant pantomime, like a lot of other stories after the end of the Hinchcliffe era, Invisible Enemy, Horns of Nimon, TimeLash, etc. But I think Dr.Who does pantomime very cleverly and the panto episodes are some of the show's most entertaining. twin Dilemma is a pantomime with a black heart and an unhinged Doctor, but this is just pointless and shallow. Even for a pantomime, Meglos is not very good. It has a couple of nice FX scenes in the beginning with the screens of Zolpha Thura and Meglos makes a great boo-hiss alien villain (the guy's a talking cactus! Brilliant!) and Tom does some good work when covered in cactus spines, but unlike other Dr.Who pantos this one is lacking the substance in the middle to make it worth it. Overall, very average!
 See the cactus Tom Baker!!! May 1, 2003

This is an interesting story, and is very good in my personal opinion. Tom Baker is brilliant in his portrayal of Meglos (although covered in green spikes half the time). Also very good to see Jaquiline Hill playing a role other than original assistant Barbara. Her role as Lexa is outstanding and is definately benificial to the story. On the downside, there are a few questions that may be left unanswered, but all in all a truly anjoyable Doctor Who adventure!
