New companion! Leela's first story. Legend is she was created as a bit of "eye candy for the Dads". Worked on me back in the day, and I wasn't a dad. I legit don't remember much pic.twitter.com/NHoG43wmxy

about her first story here, so I'll get to rediscover it. The Doctor is referred to as "The Evil One" by the tribe here, but we don't know why yet, but his voice is Tom Baker. pic.twitter.com/g57qDPTB2d

The Doctor & Leela return to the camp, trying to avoid being killed, but I'm not sure why actually. The Doctor discovered his face on the mountain in the cliffhanger, which is the pic.twitter.com/0GFEAmwbbG

"why" of why he's here & the main point. Outside that, this story isn't terribly engaging. The villagers seem like every other Who villager we've seen, except for Leela's clothes. pic.twitter.com/RddDTkETTl

The Doctor makes it to a ship where the other "race" was - the Tesh who worship Xoanon. The Doctor realizes they're all humans, but got separated ages ago. The Tesh try to kill pic.twitter.com/Zbn6XA5mGu

the Doctor & Leela, but they fail. While they look funny, I find the Tesh part of the store more interesting than the Sevateem. This ep was def more interesting than the first 2. pic.twitter.com/5ombqI3LFa

The Doctor eventually figures out how to defeat Xoanon, who tries to kill him (even using Leela at one point). Most of the ep is the Doctor trying to stop Xoanon and the Sevateem pic.twitter.com/0UIJNqe9hK

& the Tesh wandering around the ship. I def see good parts of this story (especially ep3), but overall I never felt like it all came together in a satisfying way. The ending? Meh. pic.twitter.com/PCgwk7lHXi
