2025 REWATCH

• I genuinely used to find this episode as slog, I would put it down to it being THE episode that always got re-runs on Watch / W / Whatever the channel is called now, but having rewatched it invigorated my love for this story
• Krilliant and Mr Finch are brilliant villains, wonderfully acted and scary. The design is great
• Sarah Jane Smith and K9, the only pair of companions that would have made the perfect reunion episode, and boy do they deliver. It's great material for Rose and Mickey. Bringing genuine closure to Sarah Jane, that last scene now brings tears to my eyes, which didn't before. Maybe I'm getting soft, lol
• It's also one hell of a thrillride, gets straight into the action, and doesn't give in, even if the circumstances are very convenient, like the school blowing up
• Balances the cast beautifully, and I love it. shows that a bigger TARDIS team can work
