Really there isn’t much besides seeing Leela be the best, eh. Kinda surprised how underwhelming this Story is, after all, the fourth Doctor’s Era is massive. This is just a kinda Standard Story really, which isn’t bad but disappointing. Well the Cover is cool at least.

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.
