Ok. I've got to be honest. As unpopular as I know this assessment is to most DW fans, I loathe this one.

I find the emphasis on humor and over the top performances from "cartoon characters" to be unwelcome and distracting. Underneath all the silliness there's an interesting story, but I can't get past the deliberate goofiness to care to find it. C'mon...the Pirate Captain has a robot parrot that "fights" the Doctor's robot dog. I just can't take this crap seriously.

Its complete rubbish.
