I'm glad Patrick Troughton seemed to have fun doing this because I wasn't having fun watching it

There's a lot wrong with this serial starting primarily with the eugenics. Chessene is "fixed" - unlike others of her species she isn't violent, nor does she eat meat - which is initally presented as a good thing. Isn't it just great that we can take this awful beasts and make them functioning members of society (and also make them conventionally attractive too), the Two Doctors seems to say. This position is reversed by the end, finishing on a note of isn't it awful how some species are uniformly Bad and Evil and any attempt to change that is misguided at best, which isn't an improvement even a little bit

I also didn't like how they treated Peri (but then again, when do I ever. JNT be normal challenge failed miserable) nor Jamie (don't? make someone with an English accent insult the way he speaks?)

All in all, boring, long, and bad
