The music is horrific, Nathan Turner dropped a bollock losing Peter Howell and Roger Limb, Paddy Kingsland, Dudley Simpson. The Cybermen are terrible. The story is boring even as a 3 parter. The odd decent set piece but too much crap to make it any better. After the first 2 stories we were right back in last season. Better than Bannermen and Rani but only just.Linx D Oderanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06587578831858117637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-17901056712983388842020-06-03T18:51:48.496-07:002020-06-03T18:51:48.496-07:00One thing I love doing is reading reviews from a s...One thing I love doing is reading reviews from a site called Pagefillers, which has reviews dating to the late 90s and seeing how opinions change over the years. Some forgotten gems like The Greatest Show in The Galaxy and The Gunfighters get re-evaluated. Silver Nemesis has the opposite effect. A lot of the earlier reviews are highly positive and then slowly the regress into negatives. One old review from 1998 boldly claims its better than City of Death, Logopolis and The Romans combined and says its the only episode in the entire series that works. Thats very strange. I guess the spread of home media was a curse as well as a blessing and most of the early good faith was either based on nostalgia or the sheer excitement of its initial VHS release.<br /><br />Personally I think Nemesis is the weakest of McCoy's run and that's from someone who has a high tolerence for this era since its what got me into DrWho. I have soft spots for Dragonfire and Paradise Towers, but Nemesis only really works for me when I switch my brain off and just enjoy the running around or whenever Peinforte is overacting.Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-53126424371358168582017-05-02T08:58:59.378-07:002017-05-02T08:58:59.378-07:00I had the same impression when I first saw this, t...I had the same impression when I first saw this, that it was basically "Remembrance" with Cybermen, which felt weird, not just because it's poorly done, but also because it's in the same brief season. "Remembrance" gives the impression that Doctor Who's show runners are still brimming with ideas about where to take the show. "Silver Nemesis" almost immediately dispels that impression, and that's the most disappointing thing about it for me.David Pirtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00636601389899125100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-32741565651743377872014-01-15T23:08:41.989-08:002014-01-15T23:08:41.989-08:00Well we had to have a major disagreement at some p...Well we had to have a major disagreement at some point, Audrey! One thing going through the eighties stories is that it has proven what an up and down period of the show it is!
