Review of The Ribos Operation by uss-genderprise

16 June 2024

I found this episode dull and over-long. The new K9 didn't have much to do, and Romana was something's of a non-entity as well. Maybe I'm just still annoyed about Leela's poor send-off and had my hopes set too high for Romana, but this isn't a great start.

On the subject of characters, Garron was fine as a magnificent scoundrel, but to me he felt like a cheap imitation of Harry Mudd from Star Trek, an all-around more fun and compelling character. Unstoffe was okay, and being the only nice character he served as a good contrast to everyone else. Binro absolutely stole the show and was probably my favourite part of this episode.

I enjoyed the little reveal of the Doctor's scarf under the guard's cape and Romana shutting K9 up with her dress, but these little moments weren't enough to salvage this episode.
