Vengenge on Varos
I objectively recognize this as a strong, well done episode of Doctor Who. Subjectively I'm not a fan. Using televised violence within a story as an allegory for our viewing choices was a tired concept even in 1985. Here it is also hypocritical, as the episode was riddled with torture and death for the sake of ratings (since when does the Doctor joke about two men boiling in acid?). Also, Jason Connery (Sean's son) was awful, although the Governor was great.
