I finally had a chance to watch the famous Peter Davison story WARRIORS OF THE DEEP last night.
I was prepared in advance hearing many opinions of why this is THE WORST Doctor Who story ever ..... Or, at least in the top 3 worsts ...
But, I watched it with an open mind ... and considering it's one of the last classic stories i've never seen, I made sure to watch and enjoy everything about it with an open mind ......
My opinion.....
It's not that bad.
It's not great or even good ... but i've seen a lot worse.
With a few changes I think it could have been at least a mediocre fan fav.
1. Change the ending
2. Get rid of that lousy monster ...... Note: If you have to use a lousy monster suit, don't centre on it for 20 minutes.
3. Silurians should not say "EEEEEEXCELLENT"
"EEEEEEXCELLENT" should only be said by classic Cybermen and Mr Burns![Grin](https://megomuseum.com/community/core/images/smilies/grin.gif)
4. The Sea Devil's are Warriors ? ....... They look like they'd go down with one punch to the neck.
5. Speaking of Sea Devils --- Buck Roger's Draconians called and said they wanted their helmets back![Laugh](https://megomuseum.com/community/core/images/smilies/smiley1.gif)
6. If Davison hated the smell of that suit, WHY did he wear it throughout the whole story ? ... Did he begin to like the smell ?
7. Episode One's cliff-hanger was one of the worst cliff-hangers in the series' history ... So the doctor fell in water -- who cares ?
8. This story could have been shrunk down to a 2 parter ... 4 episodes is just way too long ...
9. The Silurian having light on their heads that flash when they talk is just stupid ..... Also, speaking of the Silurians again --- note to producers - DO NOT PUT SMILEY FACES ON BAD GUYS![Smile](https://megomuseum.com/community/core/images/smilies/smiley.gif)
10. Again, the ending was horrible ..... It runined the whole story.
What do you think ?
