I honestly thought a laser-tag themed story would be gimmicky or a snore, but Warriors of Kudlak proved to be a fun adventure.  By this point, the series already has a pretty strong handle on its character, so everyone gets to shine a little bit.  Clyde really gets to shine here as we see a more friendly side of him interacting with Luke.  A pretty good watch overall.

The Kudlak look amazing. Amazed they achieved that mask on SJA’s budget! This is a genuinely funny and inventive story with convincing villains. I like that they’ve made Sarah-Jane tough and distant in this series. A spooky, intriguing woman who gravitates towards danger. There’s some really funny writing in this one too - I love the one gag woman who introduces the laser tag tournament.

Part One

[Combat 3000]

(Combat 3000, a laser tag game. One boy sees a door opening and goes through it into a bare corridor illuminated by blue and green vertical fluorescent tubes. The door closes behind him. At the end of the corridor a steel door traps him inside, then he vanishes.
In a control room, a bug-eyed alien report to its superior.)
KUDLAK: Mistress, I bring you another.
MISTRESS [OC]: Bring me more. I need more. Many more children!
KUDLAK: It shall be done, Mistress.

[Street]

LUKE: At breakfast times, I am so hungry, I could murder a bowl of cornflakes. Does that make me a cereal killer? You're not laughing.
MARIA: It wasn't very funny.
LUKE: But I've been studying jokes, their structure and history. And that's what you do, you swap words around, so that was a joke.
MARIA: Well, I don't think it'll get you on the telly but, yeah, I guess.
LUKE: So what makes a joke funny? I've read timing's important. How, exactly?
MARIA: I don't know. It's complicated.
LUKE: Is the context important?
MARIA: Why does every single thing with you lead to about five hundred questions? Come on, I want to get a new bag.
LUKE: You've got lots of bags.
MARIA: You can never have too many bags.
LUKE: Another thing I don't understand.
MARIA: Don't worry, you're a guy. You're not meant to.
