    Based on two episodes... I don't think my rating will

    But if you were comparing it to "Space Babies" then I could

    Come on.

    10/10 puts it into "Robots of Death" territory, it's nowhere
    near that.

    Even the poor Tom Baker stories

    Which this is not one of.

    Not poor, per se... but not the best of his era. It's good but
    not great.

    would beat the majority of
    stories from NuWho for entertainment.

    Anything would beat the excrement from Davies and Chibnall.

    "The Invisible Enemy" would be ahead of that era quality wise,
    that much is true.

    The Invisible Enemy was away ahead of its time. It combine
    computer viruses signalling, "Contact has been made", with
    biological viruses and blurred the lines in between using
    telepathy to link them together.

    Good ideas, poorly realised.

    Today the woke mind mind virus runs rampant and this takeover
    of human society and civilisation by something unnatural in
    human terms is what the message of the story is.

    This story deserves very high marks.

    Nah, compared to Pyramids/Genesis/Robots/Talons etc. it's not
    'there'. So not in the top tier of Tom's stories for me.

    Nowhere near the bottom tier either.

    It was better than Horror of Fang Rock and you gave than one a 10/10.

    It's way above everything in Season 18 and probably the best story in
    Season 15, but we'll have to wait to watch The Sun Makers again to see
    how good that is in comparison.

    The ideas went above most people's heads because they didn't have
    computer modems and knew nothing about electronic handshakes which is
    what, "Contact has been made", was supposed to be. And now that modems
    have been replaced by network routers and fibre to home its also above
    most young people's heads today.

    Nah, compared to Pyramids/Genesis/Robots/Talons etc. it's not
    'there'. So not in the top tier of Tom's stories for me.

    I never said it was, but it's in the same league of Planet of Evil and
    better than The Android Invasion, The Ark in Space, and The Sontaran Experiment.

    I would put it around about the same place as Shada which was based on
    the same story theme of universal mind control and absorbing
    intelligence. This story depicts the woke mind virus, namely Communism,
    being used to propel a degenerate elite to power who do not posses the
    merit that is required to govern in the best interests of the body but
    instead make it rot like an infection. The converse of this attacking
    the principles of Capitalism comes in The Sun Makers. Back before the
    far left took the show over, starting with JN-T using the show to attack Margaret Thatcher, Doctor Who tried to give a balanced point of view.


    Nowhere near the bottom tier either.

    Nowhere near the blow job in The Creature from the Pit.
