I have to say right out that I do not like this story. I know it's generally liked, but I NEVER liked it from the get go. I do also admit it's been nearly two decades since I watched it in pic.twitter.com/x53ExES9Ma

full, so I'll be curious if this watch changes my opinion at all. I'm doubtful. This was obviously written early on as Nyssa is mysteriously sick the entire story and is not in it. pic.twitter.com/eqiewSwvnN

The old Kinda woman looks awfully familiar. Tegan is still locked in some mind area - a black void visually, although what's happening exactly we don't know yet. One of the people in power pic.twitter.com/GkMmKhoqxA

seems to have gone quite insane, and well, we've seen that in Doctor Who before. As such, the stuff with Tegan is more interesting as it's a new concept vs local authority being power mad. pic.twitter.com/9KjsOWakLQ

Hindle is one of those "dick" characters you actively root to get wiped out. The Doctor and Dr. Todd escape and go to meet up with the Kinda, who made a telepathic connection with them. pic.twitter.com/UyTeO6vZeW

The Kinda refer to the Doctor as an idiot, which he accepts; the exchange is comical. This ep actually quite good, with the various parts all clicking together. It's quite Tegan light though. pic.twitter.com/vr6zU5L8Nf

I still don't like Hindle, but I have to confess I enjoyed this story far more than I ever remembered. In fact, I outright detested it in the past, but I enjoyed it here. Given it was a pic.twitter.com/rO6ftAxOsy

Tegan heavy story, she wasn't in ep3 at all. Adric telling Tegan to "shut up" made me laugh. The Mara is defeated basically with mirrors. The new SFX of the snake are much better. :) pic.twitter.com/LiMuucpJtT
