The Power of Kroll

#DoctorWhoMarathon Ep 496 - The Power of Kroll 1/4 (Serial 5E Story 102) - 23 Dec 1978. #DoctorWho 1/2

The only memories I have of this one are bad - it's the planet of the mini Jolly Green Giants. In both the last story & this one, the Doctor seems unusually blasé about what is pic.twitter.com/SwoMbgfC9i

going on at the start. There's no K9 in this story. This is a Bob Holmes story, and I usually enjoy those. Will have to give this an open minded look this time around. #Kroll pic.twitter.com/zEdrvgaPJh

This is a Robert Holmes story, one of the best Doctor Who writers ever, and this doesn't feel like his. I can't put my finger on it. The green dudes all chanting "Kroll" over pic.twitter.com/6VfhNqteD0

and over again is a bit silly. Friend of mine actually has that as a ringtone. The main point of the story is the green dudes want to reclaim their land taken by the invaders. pic.twitter.com/IY2SfnwBOo

We're into 1979 in my project now.

The Doctor says "I have less time than I thought", which implies he's on top of events here, but I don't get that vibe. I'm not entirely sure pic.twitter.com/JF8jO70N40

why the Doctor is doing anything in this story. Both sides seem to be in fear of Kroll, but the green guys see it as their god, and the refinery guys want to destroy Kroll. pic.twitter.com/Ma2mafSFvi

Watching this story now, I never got the feeling it got going. Despite it being a Bob Holmes story, it felt like it was just "meh". Part of it might have to do with me finding pic.twitter.com/wylyEqLT89

the green guys too laughable and Kroll being a bad sfx shot. Recovery of the segment was interesting as Kroll itself was the segment. The ending was better than the rest of it. pic.twitter.com/eumLUgKABn
