This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: The Beast of Kravenos Sontarans, zombies, zombie Sontarans, what more could you want? Very few stories show the Sontarans in this light and give them any depth beyond their very 2-dimensional appearances. I like that they didn't betray the Doctor at the end which is something that every "enemy reluctantly helps the Doctor and slowly begins to respect him" story does. The story itself is pretty good, it's quite similar to The War Games and explores a similar idea of constructed wars. The evil AI's motivation didn't really make sense but that's my only important gripe with the story. I would definitely recommend this if you enjoy Sontarans but otherwise as it stands it's just ok.
