This is one of the greats, really. S4 is to me one of the strongest Run of the Stories, that the Show ever had, and this one is one if not the biggest Highlight to me. Macra Terror is just a blast in so many regards. How it uses well-known tropes for its environment and its Story is just superb. The Story itself is just really well-written, Ian Stuart Black is to me an excellent Who Writer who deserves to be talked about a lot more. I think he nails this Script, especially when it comes to the Character work here. For the first time since joining the TARDIS, I think Jamie truly settles into the Role of a Companion. Polly gets some great Material as well, even if she is probably the one who gets arguably the least amount with this Story, but what she gets is usually fairly good, especially in relation to Ben. Ben has already been quite an enjoyable Character, but I think this is HIS time to shine. I think Craze is quite underrated, since I think he brings a lot to the Role, and this is not more apparent than here. Everything done with him feels like a quite compelling mini-Arc to me. Oh, and did I mention Throughton? He is sooo good in this one, after settling into the Role properly with the Moonbase he is just superb here.

A bit weird that this Story is named Macra Terror, what are Macras? I never heard or seen them, a bit strange, but either way such a great one.
