they continue to make adric much dumber than he was in s18 for some reason. he could pilot the tardis before but has difficultly now. he gets captured a lot more. he has to get told off by 5 as if he's his moody teenage son. matthew waterhouse is giving it everything but sadly there is not a lot to give to. pt4 is very exciting!! i like the 17th century setting in general, having the doctor start the great fire is really fun! and it's cool to see an actual historical event. the terileptils have such a cool design, both on their normal half and their scarred half. it is pretty strange that the doctor did not want to bring them back to their planet to be executed, but was cool with letting them die in a fire! richard mace was a fun character, super quirky guy for sure, and he got a nice lil happy ending. the main criticism is 3 companions is just too much and this episode exemplifies it. most of the time all four are seperate so there are like 3-5 different plot threads to follow, so it feels like it is moving pretty slow and it is hard to concentrate on
