When I was watching Who in the past, this was the final "new" story that I watched for some reason. I don't remember much about this one at all. Takes place almost entirely on a pic.twitter.com/vo3ItPD465

spaceship the Tardis lands in. The crew wearing space helmets but not suits was odd. Loved that Tegan understood an non English speaking dialect and could speak it. pic.twitter.com/Ne7LlxAQQR

I'm already feeling there's too many companions here, most of this story have at least one of them just sitting there doing nothing. The plot involves trying to figure out what pic.twitter.com/Tw4YSy7PMW

the three leaders are doing which involves a claim of having 3 billion people on the ship they're on. I am a bit confused as to what's going on this episode - more the why of it. pic.twitter.com/WkKUJMNo7u

OK, so it was revealed the the humanoids were robots in the cliffhanger. Monarch wants to rid the humans of "flesh time" (disease), and is heading there to "help" humans rid pic.twitter.com/NI0SHT5QH3

themselves of what they need - turning them into androids. Oddly Adric agrees with the plan, but none of the other Tardis crew do. This ep is pretty talky. Tegan is very shouty. pic.twitter.com/ttDMsZDIp1

The Doctor has that oh so goofy scene of being in outer space and projecting himself to the Tardis via a cricket ball - in SPACE. Wildly goofy that one. Before that, the Doctor pic.twitter.com/1JbR7IJR1g

turns all the androids in a revolt and defeats Monarch. Still not sure why the androids were here, the plot confused me a bit. I did like it, but was confused in places. pic.twitter.com/449hZzhiae
