This is another one I have no memory of. Base concept isn't bad, two spaceships have crashed into each other. There's a line that would have worked well later on in Trial of a Time pic.twitter.com/UaCnJClnYQ

Lord here. The Doctor says "Interfere? Always do what you're best at". 🤣
Most of this ep is the two ships and our crew trying to figure out how to separate the two ships. pic.twitter.com/VEKYhT8pb2

The story has splintered into being a drug story, plus a Whodunnit as well as the two ship issue from before. Also, I meant to use the new SFX for Ep1, and used old ones. :) pic.twitter.com/si6kW3vebZ

I rather liked this episode. I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but I thought the pacing and the story were interesting. I don't remember the ending either, so this will be fun. pic.twitter.com/MD2bCI1Plj

This ep must have run short, as the recap from last week is a tad over 3 mins. The Doctor & Romana escape into "Eden", a separate world inside a "photo frame". Timeslides anyone? pic.twitter.com/MYO43Oott9

The Doctor finds help inside the projection. There's a K9 joke with him "sniffing" someone to ID them. It's discovered the the Mandrils are the drug being looked for. Liked ep! pic.twitter.com/TfU4O11YaI

I have to say I went into this with little memory, and really enjoyed it. For the most part S17 is meh, but this was significantly better than what little I remembered. Bonus. pic.twitter.com/4QKo9OjqTI

There's no specific plot point I can point to as to why I enjoyed this, but I did. Bunch of small bits all together in a stew I enjoyed. A lot of weapon fire in this episode! pic.twitter.com/Px44LxAqeV
