	(First watched 2007-10-07, -08) Not bad.  A short one, mostly an excuse to pick up another traveler in Vicki, but the question of what happened on the planet was a change, too.  No, not an Earth-Dido conflict or the Didoans becoming aggressive... but just a human mass-murderer trying to make it appear that way as a cover story.

	OK, so it did end up taking me half a year to see.  At this rate I'd never catch up.  But boy, from awful costumes to boring story, this is pretty much scraping the bottom of what I expected of the early years of this show.  We didn't even get much main character interaction beyond Vicki/Doctor, since they were all split up.

	On the whole this one reminds me of a less eventful The Romans, or even The Reign of Terror.  These historical ones seem to have a bit of a pattern of Barbara getting imprisoned, Ian rushing off to find her, and the Doctor trying to use power to his advantage by playing a highfalutin role.

	(First watched 2009-02-02, -03, -04)  So as the viewer might guess but Vicki and the Doctor do not, Steven has got on board the TARDIS.  He doesn't believe he's really traveling through time yet, but he's stuck with them so I guess he will soon enough.  Interesting that though they're in the past, weird things are clearly afoot.  A monk having a wristwatch stolen from him?  The monastery filled with fake singing thanks to a phonograph?  So not kosher for the year 1066.  Based on the episode titles and a bit of general series knowledge I've come across I think I know a bit of where this is coming from, but it's still quite interesting to see.

	It seems like Vicki/Steven and the Doctor will just keep traveling back and forth from the shore to the monastery forever without bumping into each other.  So I figured the monk had a TARDIS, but it's pretty novel seeing one with an actual working chameleon circuit.  Crawl under a lectern, and bam into a control room!  So what the heck is the monk up to?  He's got some sort of atomic cannon in place.  Take out the vikings... to what end?
