A Rare gem was the first disappointment of the series for me. It feels like a bit of a weaker 4th doctor TV story, not the Love Letter to the era that the three preceding it were.

Seeing Leela and K9 fighting Judoon was fun, and I did like the bits with Four in the cave, figuring out what had happened with the theft, but overall, yeah this one just fell a bit flat.

No references or specific love for the era really. Like it's not awful, but coming after three incredible stories that all felt not only like love letters to the show, but love letters to their respective eras, I was hoping for just something a bit more.
