Timelash. No, really. I tried, really I did. Had the new fx on and everything. Bugger me it's shite. It boggles the mind, actually, since every other story this season ranges from very good to bona fide classic, but this is just awful on every level. I made it to part 2, but didn't last long after. And while most of the new fx is good, the effect on the inside of the Timelash is actually worse than the original and just makes it completely unwatchable.
