A Splatter of Faith (Consuming “The Curse of Fenric”)
Manage episode 397849563 series 3236461
When you sit down to watch Classic Doctor Who, you need to have faith — faith that intellect with triumph over violence, faith that poor production values will be made up for by fascinating storylines, and faith that the people making the show actually know what they’re doing. The Curse of Fenric makes you question that faith (for at least 3 episodes anyway), but at least it has the good sense to distract you with layers of plot about WWII code breaking, ancient Viking curses, and a bloodsucking creature from the far future. But it would be Ace's emotional journey that steals the spotlight… if only the show could afford one.
