This is one that's considered one of Tom's best. I recognize that, but legit have little memory of it beyond the "Kill the Doctor" cliffhanger in ep3. Looking forward to this. pic.twitter.com/QnJTIejTsY

The costumes in this are goofy. The Doctor arrives at a point where a local is killed by a Robot, & of course he is blamed. Oddly the Doctor & Leela meet only robots this ep. pic.twitter.com/B9jkQ3qKV3

The robots creepy vibe is amped up a bit in this ep, although it's not immediately apparently why. The Doctor & Leela finally meet some people and at the same time multiple pic.twitter.com/lNZNRKOeY3

people are dead, so we know who gets blamed. Most of this ep are the locals arguing about who is killing their people. We do see one of them is behind it, but we don't know who. pic.twitter.com/JbkpuKwgyi

Thought the ep2 cliffhanger was a good one, resolution kind of underwhelming. The Doctor seems to have gone from prisoner to free with no effort. Granted, he's helping, but it pic.twitter.com/bMyu6QMMZ5

felt like something was missing. Robots are being reprogrammed to kill everyone, hence the story title. The Doctor works with one robot to try and figure out what's going on. pic.twitter.com/6KQlzhlsbZ

In this ep, the robots are trying to kill everyone, and it's basically a survival ep. That's really the plot of the 4th ep. It's not complicated, but it works. In the end, pic.twitter.com/wiZLGpt1Km

the Doctor figures out a way to defeat them and order is restored. Overall, this is a good story, but I don't think it's quite as high as the pedestal most fans have it on. pic.twitter.com/si3hczzgJG
