In the Forest of the Night was totally ridiculous, using the oxygen in 
the atmosphere to put out a global fire. It was written with a person 
with the writing ability of a 4 year old child. Even a 6 year old knows 
oxygen will feed a fire.

Whittaker didn't have a single good episode at all because they were all 
badly written and she was in them all. Gata doesn't have a single good 
episode either for the same reasons. The only one that can be labelled 
the best is 73 Yards because the cross dressing mentally ill retard 
wasn't in most of it.
