This is one I barely remember, except for it being Nyssa's last story, she unexpectedly takes her clothes off (somewhat), and there's a colony of lepers. Beyond that, nada. We also get pic.twitter.com/g5RDXJQCmX

a name for the circle things in the walls of the Tardis - "roundels". More Tardis scenes than I remember. Love there's lots of exploring here. A lot of WTF in this, but in a good way. pic.twitter.com/l6lUvVCnxq

Rather enjoyed ep1 of this. What's already annoying me is the Black Guardian's constant "I'm going to kill you Turlough" & then not killing him. We also have next story with that, too! pic.twitter.com/nUC7dvbMoW

Nyssa gets infected, which explains her "change of clothes". We get a bunch of other characters, not all of which I'm sure why they're here. Tegan & Turlough mostly out of this episode. pic.twitter.com/nlanGvcB1R

Once we got past the exploration of ep1, the tone changed. I do think having the characters paired off in the way they are worked well, but I thought Tegan & Turlough drew the short lot pic.twitter.com/hdKD43H89y

in terms of screen time. For this being Nyssa's last story she spends a lot of time doing nothing. There's a bigger threat now with the ship possibly exploding in a "new big bang". pic.twitter.com/ArEDTQt4fm

The ship explosion is averted, Nyssa is cured, & she stays behind to work on a cure leaving Tegan & Turlough to go with the Doctor. Story was not great, but better than I remembered. pic.twitter.com/HKiMOlluuG

This is the last ep for Nyssa. A character I always liked, but appreciated more in this project. I've met her in person, and Sarah was just as nice. Her ending sorta fit her character. pic.twitter.com/qp31Th0CFO
