I genuinely don't get the love for this story. It starts out very intriguing with the characters acting confused and suddenly attacking each other, but then more and more things happen and nothing gets explained properly. Why were they all acting like that?

I don't hate the resolution. I think it's cute, and I like the idea of something tiny going wrong and causing everything to spiral out of control. It makes for a great metaphor. I also like the soft moment between the Doctor and Barbara right at the end.

I guess my problem with this story is that it feels like it's having an identity crisis. It doesn't know what it wants to be or what story it's trying to tell. It's confused and all over the place and I just don't see the point of it.

what a great story!! i thoroughly enjoyed this one. the first episode is delightfully creepy, and all four actors deliver a great performance, truly unsettling the viewer. it's also nice to see the doctor show some real character growth this early on. loved it!

I really enjoyed this episode.

A closed-door episode that, although its resolution is easy, keeps us in suspense for the 2 episodes! So yes, to come back to the resolution, the button is easy! But hey... Under a certain scriptwriter, Mr. Steven M., some resolutions make no sense so hey...

No really very good surprise, go to 8!

I love, love, love it when everyone is having a bad time it's always so much fun. This one did freak me out a little bit and I think about it at least once a week.

Really liked this one! It is fairly simple but showcases how well our main cast work, some brilliant Hartnell Moments sprinkled in it and bam you got a very good 2 Two Parter. Personally, the idea of something going wrong and Ian & Susan going a bit mad is great, Carol Ann especially does great work with it. I will say if it was longer it probably wouldn’t have worked as well as it did, always a nice change of pace after the rather long 7 Parter “The Daleks”.
