This is a fun introduction to the Black and White Guardian storyline with a really memorable set-up at the start I think really worked to gear viewers to know what to expect out of the season. It's done really well and left me excited, especially with this also being Romana's introduction, too.

So it starts out very energetic and full of excitement, but I do feel as though that once we get into the thrust of this story on Ribos, that goodwill fades pretty quickly. The story is pretty boring and I checked out of it quite quickly. It is far from unacceptable, but easy to forget a lot of the plot line and I didn't really care much for the characters outside of the Doctor and Romana. The latter of the two being a Time Lady feels pretty good, I like the idea of her possessing a lot of intelligence but lacking the Doctor's experience. I feel they get a good handle on her character here but it does improve over time. I do like the look of the setting though and the ending had a nice feeling to it in the snow, still leaving me with that same feeling of excitement for the possibilities of what was to come out of the series going forward.
