This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: Meglos

The first part of this story feels like nothing else in Classic Doctor Who, I can't exactly explain why, it just feels distinctly unique. We're introduced to Adric who as of right now I have no opinions on. It's a decent introduction for him but doesn't really explore much about him.

The story itself is quite fun, there's some really fun concepts but unfortunately I don't think they quite do it justice. It all feels a bit muddled and as if it doesn't really know what story it wants to tell. Still the reveal that they've gone "full circle" is a genius bit of sci-fi. The soundtrack remains phenomenal and I love the recurring motifs, especially K9's.

It feels like someone at Doctor Who really hates K9 because he's been destroyed in some way basically every story, it's funny, but rather annoying since I quite like K9. Nothing that would change my rating of this story in particular however.
