I'm past the first 4 Stories from the Key to Time Arc/Season 16. A huge improvement over the last Season, where I had to push myself to watch it. Pirate Planet is probably the weakest, but I'd rather watch it again as opposed to anything from the last Season except Invasion of Time. The other three stories have been great, Tom and Mary get on very well together and it shows. Stones of Blood feels very Hinchcliffe/Holmes in tone (even the stuff on the ship) and Androids of Tara has a brilliant script. |
