This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: The Visitation Fun story with a good villain, the Star Men having already desolated a universe really ups the stakes. Not a very exceptional story although it is Matthew Waterhouse's debut in the Main Range. The focus of the story is definitely on Adric and I enjoy that his characterisation is more akin to him in Season 18. He also gets a very subtle love interest aswell and it's really interesting to see how Adric reacts to her death. The Star Men are very intimidating mainly thanks to the voice by Peter Guiness. Otherwise, it's a very enjoyable story if a bit generic. Next Story: The Contingency Club Like Liked 1 Open in new window Statistics AVG. Rating41 members 3.55 / 5 GoodReads AVG.
