I was also impressed with how good YFNSpider-Man was.

Anyway, been watching Doctor Who Season 25;

Remembrance of the Daleks - I've only seen this story once and wasn't all that thrilled with it back then. This time around though, I absolutely loved it. I'm not sure if it was the updated effects that helped or the additional scenes, but I didn't find a dull moment in this story. I loved the little stunts they did with Ace and the banter between the two scientist lady's was fun. McCoy had some great dialog. On the other hand, Davros being in it was not surprising since he's been in every Dalek story ever since Genesis. I also enjoyed the little nods to Hartnell's Doctor, something I completely missed the first time I watched this story. Although, I'm a bit confused as to why the Doctor would have been luring the Daleks to 1963 when he hadn't actually met them yet. That little oddball mishap aside, I'm glad I got to rewatch this one.

The Happiness Patrol - Despite having a couple of narrative oddities, this is hands down one of the greatest DW stories ever and the extended version makes it even better. The new effects were stellar too. McCoy is just fantastic, specifically during the scene with the two snipers.

Silver Nemesis - There's nothing any more satisfying than watching Cybermen kill a crap ton of nazis and it is glorious. Easily the highlight of this average at best adventure. I didn't dislike this one as much as I did the first time, but I still found it to be wildly mediocre. I do love the banter between Ace and the Doctor. My favorite moment of theirs is when he is asking her about not making explosives and not carrying them on her. She also gets to do some pretty cool action sequences, something the companions have lacked since Leela left. Nevertheless, the plot is mixed, I'm not really sure what the point was of the woman and her servant from the 1600s as they felt like fluff to expand the run time. Still, like I said, I enjoyed it more this time around, but it is easily the weakest story of the season.
