NuWho’s Krotons!
I know this Episode isn’t held in any high regard and I can totally see why, it’s quite flawed, but… Similar as to Krotons, I think there are some genuinely great bits in here and some “so bad it’s good” bits.
The domestic part written here in this Episode are great. The whole Idea of “LINDA” is a well-thought idea that is approached with enough care, where it can be fun, but never comes across in a mocking or mean-spirited way, which I appreciate. Jackie is great, perhaps one of RTD’s best Characters we have gotten, she is both great at the comedic bits, and the serious ones.
That said, some of its execution can be quite poor at times, some dialogue doesn’t want to work. And yes, the Abzorbaloff is a bit of a weird choice including here, then again I kinda take this over something more generic. At the very least, it’s not very boring.
Probably one of the ones I rate higher in this Series (not saying much since Series 2 is pretty low in my overall season/series ranking).
