I just finished watching the three disc set of "The War Games."
I had never seen it before but heard good things about it the past. I
have been waitng for a dvd of it for several years. So when it was
released I jumped to get it. But circumstances prevented me from being
able to watch it until now.
My plan was to wath the first few episodes last night before I went to
bed. But I couldn't stop watching it. I finished all ten episodes in
one sitting and finished at around 6:30am this morning.
I loved it!
Everybody brought their "A " game. From the writers to the actors
right on down.
It didn't feel padded at all. It just kept getting better and better.
It really has an epic feel to it. And the characters are well defined
and their motives organic.
Just a well done effort all around.
I think it holds up quite well.
I think it may be my favorite Doctor Who story.
Am I alone in that?

A bit. I wouldn't call it my favorite. It's in the upper half. All
the wandering around does get tedious.

No, it may well be my favourite Troughton story. Such a parade of
well-done parts, smartly written, taking on the challenge of making a
10-part story work. It's a huge accomplishment.
