But at the same time, it's hard not to let the rainbow-hued bodycounts of the later JNT-era color your opinions of the earlier stuff.Bill D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18013121134005443309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-19227882666728794992013-05-09T12:00:52.670-03:002013-05-09T12:00:52.670-03:00And I agree.

JNT's excesses only hit hard later, end of Doc5, all of Doc6, and start of Doc7, although there are missteps throughout.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-28840186485426451352013-05-09T11:52:21.383-03:002013-05-09T11:52:21.383-03:00I think it's my favorite version of the theme ...I think it's my favorite version of the theme tune.<br /><br />I'm a big fan of season 18. The Williams era was not my cup of tea, and I really like the style of this season. I don't know if any of the stories are really classic, but there's a lot of enjoyable stuff coming up.Matthew Turnagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115327182071167651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-21265914712512528612013-05-09T09:11:15.445-03:002013-05-09T09:11:15.445-03:00I have great affection for that version of the the...I have great affection for that version of the theme as well, especially the middle 8 bit.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-14644411112276279332013-05-09T07:58:39.537-03:002013-05-09T07:58:39.537-03:00Although it's a terrible shot of Tom that gets...Although it's a terrible shot of Tom that gets used for the title sequence.
