I know I’m in a minority with Blink (as I am in the next year with respect to Midnight). Both of those were Hugo eps. Doesn’t affect my opinion. I *detest* the Angels; they’re glass cannons taken to the extreme, and subsequent episodes make them inconsistent with themselves in areas that make me tear my hair out. Inconsistency in Who generally doesn’t bother me, but when the *basic postulates* of your creatures undergo major changes within each individual episode featuring them? Grrr. Plus no one even *attempts* the obvious ways of dealing with the things — not even to the extent of saying WHY they don’t, which would at least address the problem.
Family of Blood also suffered from extreme Martha Abuse, and the fact that as a story it was originally meant for Doc 7 and Ace. It was an okay story for those two, but not for Doc 10. Plus I am of course averse to tragedy.
