Well then.
With these Lost Stories, I often wonder about the specific reasoning for not fully producing them the first time around (budget, timing, availability for rewriting, interest or lack thereof). With this, it's difficult to think of any other reason than "this is too depressing".
I mean, it's good, definitely a more concerted effort to show the effect of the TARDIS crew interfering with local customs, similar to The Aztecs. And of all the classic-era stories, this is the one that most benefits from being at this exact length. But I can't see myself ever returning to this the same way I have for other DW weepies like Vincent And The Doctor, Doomsday, or the ending of The Green Death. Maybe the specific consequences here hit a bit too close to home, I dunno, but this isn't for me.
