This has a few firsts. The "time tunnel" title sequence, first ep with Sarah Jane Smith, the Sontarans, & the diamond logo. Being the fifth (& final) season of Doctor 3, it has pic.twitter.com/Vt7WAUNupd

an oddly fresh feel. The part of the story with Irongron & the past is all good, but I find myself drawn to Sarah Jane's stuff more. I mean she is the best classic era companion. pic.twitter.com/JfUkZFGhno

Sarah's reaction to finding out she's time traveled is amusing. The fighting robot doesn't seem that scary. SJS's reaction to time travel is fairly amusing. The Doctor has a pic.twitter.com/2PdnU7DD5c

confrontation with Linx, at which point we hear Gallifrey for the first time. SJS is aided by a competing castle to Irongron, as she believes the Doctor is behind everything. pic.twitter.com/cb39uB6WMZ

Sarah initially accuses the Doctor of working with Irongron. He convinces them he's not & works with Sir Edward against Irongron. I loved the name of Irongron's asst- "Bloodaxe". pic.twitter.com/Kya6V3eNSC

The Doctor casually throwing bombs over the wall at Irongron's men is quite amusing. The Doctor then tries to stop Linx's ship from taking off as it will blow up the castle. pic.twitter.com/RsYHJ4ighw

The Doctor & Rubish overpower Linx and the Doctor tries to stall Irongron. SJS tries to "Women's lib" Irongron's slave women & manages to stick some sleeping drugs into the food. pic.twitter.com/8qDJ9GAACq

In the end the Linx's ship explodes when he tries to leave, killing him. Overall a very fun story with some new, fresh elements to the series. A Robert Holmes classic. pic.twitter.com/FHNnKcn5L9
