Yeah, The Power of Kroll is pretty meh. Even the kitschiness of the "Swampies" doesn't stay entertaining for long. Though I kind of enjoyed seeing the voice of K-9 guy acting and using his regular voice and stuff--I only realized it was him until just before he got killed, though.
I think I started out a little disinclined towards Lalla Ward just because she's the "new" Romana and I had gotten so attached to Mary Tamm first. Not just because she was my first exposure to Romana, but also because watching the Key to Time series was really the beginning of my getting really interested in Doctor Who. Also, the first LW-as-Romana episode I saw was City of Death, and I thought it was a great episode but it didn't really give Romana much juicy stuff to do. She seemed less sassy and opinionated than in most of the Key to Time series, but that may have had more to do with the writing on that adventure than with the temperament of this regeneration of Romana.
I must admit, it doesn't help my feelings towards Lalla Ward that I started having a crush on Tom Baker, then found out that he married her. I mean, maybe I'm just a little jealous.
