Rate "The Invisible Enemy"

While hovering in space somewhere in the 51st Century, the Doctor becomes infected by a space-born parasite which begins to take over his mind. In an effort to stall the parasite, the Doctor enters into a coma, while Leela pilots the TARDIS to a medical facility on Saturn's moon, Titan. On Titan, with the help of Professor Marius and his tin dog, K9, Leela has clones of herself and the Doctor made and shrunk to the cellular level in size so as to take the battle for the Doctor's mind directly to the parasite. Unfortunately, from little problems, big problems soon grow...

So, what did you think of the story that introduced audiences to the Doctor's favorite robot dog? Did it make your tail wag, or did it make you growl?

Fantastic Voyage meets Doctor Who. It's not that good to be honest. Can't give it 3, so it's 2/5 from me.

I have a confession to make. Way, way back in 1980, I was introduced to Doctor Who as a PBS British Import by a friend. KRMA Channel 6 in Denver used to show them on Sunday mornings, showing all four or six parts in one go starting at 10 AM. And the very first story I ever saw was Invisible Enemy.

If I were recommending stories to people who were new to Who, this probably wouldn't be the one I'd suggest they start with. I mean, it had some good ideas struggling to get out, but the production was not particularly memorable. And an enlarged shrimp as the villain of the piece? Hmm. I'm giving it a 3 against my better judgment.

Fast Liver, you and better judgment make strange bedfellows.
