A comment posted to my blog entry, WHO FURTHER, made me investigate further. I checked out major Who fan site http://www.gallifreyone.com/, and read a few reviews written by major Who fans; I realized that a lot of them absolutely love "Galaxy"; and that other horrible Sylvester McCoy era episode, "The Curse of Fenric". These 'reviews' wax on the quality -- scripting and otherwise -- apparently contained within these two stories.I read these and all I thought was, "what the... did you see a different version?"
Maybe "The Greatest Show in the Galaxy" and "The Curse of Fenric" play better in the PAL television system. It is the only thing that explains it. These are the two McCoy stories I have seen. Lucky me.
To this old Trekker, it is the direct equivalent of me raving about "Spock's Brain" and "And the Children Shall Lead". (Yes, I admit I know the names of individual episodes... funny story later on that point.)
