Now I know this episode has been ridiculed on more than one occassion. I believe it’s considered one of the worst of the series in a caouple of stats I’ve seen.
Honestly, I don’t get it. I mean, I can understand those tired of technology plots, time travels etc but this one? Just a nice, slow, romantic story with a twist. What is so wrong with that? The climate was cool.
