The next few years are going to be tiresome listening
to everybody... as this person will say 'this' about
"Doctor Who" and the BBC tender, in one click-bait article,
another person will suggest something else on YouTube, then
a famous person will throw more random comments in to the
ring in a tabloid article about the future of "Doctor Who".
It will give us something to talk about.
It does, but by the time Doctor Who returns to our screens we
will have gone round and around in circles with the same old
arguments
Well, alright then, lets break with tradition, then, and NOT go round
and round in circles!!
Let's go round and round the quadrangle instead!! ;-P

I already pre-watched The Ribos Operation, because I forgot about the
soccer games. I'm going to wait on watching the others, though.

We can discuss the general idea of the Key to time.

What did you think of a season-long arc? I liked it, personally, but
I've heard some say they prefer unconnected adventures.

I prefer unconnected adventures. As you can dip-in and dip-out
at random times later on when you want to rewatch some old
episodes. Although the Key to Time season was still six separate
stories that can be enjoyed individually... it wasn't a whole
season consisting of one big story where you had to watch the
episodes strictly in order to know what was going on.

That's a great mix, IMO. If you come in partway through, you can still
enjoy the main story and infer that these key pieces are being collected
for some larger reason.

True, but even if you saw The Armageddon Factor cold, you
could pick up enough to understand the double-cross.

Well, you probably wouldn't watch "The Armageddon Factor"
first... BUT, if you did, I'm sure you'd pick up enough on
what had gone on.
The bonus being... you wouldn't have to watch the rest of the
stories then! :-)

Yeah, I think so. Doctor Who isn't that complex, it's fairly
easy to work out what was going on. Sure, the white/black
guardian thing at the end might throw you off for few seconds,
but you'd work it out easy enough.
