The first one that’s on the weaker side. Something is messing up the Tardis and the team suffers from the consequences. Still, a lot of unexplained stuff happens in this story that I can’t really wrap my head around. Why do people randomly have pain in their necks? Was that just from the crash? What do the images on the Tardis screen mean? Why does Susan go mental and stab a chair? It is not very coherent. Which is a shame, cause testing how strong these characters truly are after 2 adventures could be way more interesting.

I do like the light this story shines on Barbara, finally giving her more definitive traits. She is smart, doesn’t like to be outdone, and can stand her ground when needed. The best scene in the story is at the end. The doctor, stubborn as he is, can’t admit he was wrong earlier, but he comes to apologize later on. This is important, as it is the first time our lead truly shows weakness. He has made mistakes, but we’ve never taken the time to sit down and make amends to the ones near him. It also strengthens the relationship between him and Barbara a lot. As she understands this takes a lot from him, and she gets the validation that she stood for what she believed in and was right.
