Hexagora

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: The Elite

I found this really fun but nowhere near as good as the last one. It's a typical bodysnatcher story, a set-up that gives us some nice insight into Tegan's backstory and relationships. Other than that though, this story is fairly generic.

The bodyswap element of the story is fairly unique and plays into the resolution quite well in my opinion. I liked the twist that it was the constant body-swapping that caused the Hexagora's issues, the very same issues that led them to swapping their bodies over and over in the first place.

Peter Davison and Janet Fielding stand out in this story, the former continues to be assertive in a way he hasn't been before, something I greatly appreciate. Tegan is a character that's decently explored in this story and her denial at the fate of her old friend was very interesting

Overall, this story is ok, it's not as unique as the last story, but does stand out decently well. The villain's main plan being trying to breed with the Doctor was a bit weird though.
