Notes

  • This page will have the last of my old reviews from 2012.  That was when I tried to watch everything awhile ago, but I made such a big deal out of writing those review pages, that it quickly became a hassle and I burnt out before I got to the end of the first series.  So after the Sensorites, there won’t be any more of those links to my old reviews, as there aren’t any more.

Our crew has to work with the ship's crew to escape. One interesting fact - this was the 1st ep where a scene from the inside the Tardis continued out into another scene. pic.twitter.com/OSNNwRxaF6

The Sensorites arrive, and most of this ep is our crew being afraid of them lumbering around the ship. Susan makes telepathic contact w/them, a skill she rarely exhibits. pic.twitter.com/LObdoVNAgC

Was interesting they brought up new angles to this story halfway through the last episode. The resolution to all the plot threads is a bit weak, but everyone goes home safely. pic.twitter.com/nS603auO7Y
