The direction is kind of poo, though.

I'm also one of those: McCoy's Era falls flat with me. But really, some of that's down to execution. Agreed. And so much of what goes wrong with a lot of 80s Who is down to execution. I could go on, but I'll save it for another discussion. But to me, the McCoy era is one season's worth of stellar s...

I also like how Susan is explained with the Other theory. I obviously prefer her being the Doctor's grand daughter, but in the Cartmel story, she was the grand daughter of the Other, and the Doctor felt that she was his grand daughter and took her abord.

I'm actually a huge fan of "Revelation" (barring the DJ,) but you can't escape the fact that the Doctor does next to nothing in it beyond walk to Davros' lair just in time for the final showdown. "Vengeance on Varos" has a similar problem. The Doctor is stuck in the TARDIS for the first 25 minutes, ...

He's a villain with a context, a backstory, and a motivation beyond just "I will destroy you all!"
