These Ogrons seem very budget Klingon, except they predate the post-TOS Klingon look by nearly a decade. | These Ogrons seem very budget Klingon, except they predate the post-TOS Klingon look by nearly a decade. | ||

The disintegrator gun effect is very well done and satisfying to watch! But... the Doctor using it to vaporize several people seems pretty out of character! | The disintegrator gun effect is very well done and satisfying to watch!

In the end the Daleks fighting from the future and the guerilla from the future are vaporized by an explosion. That's... a pretty clean way to avoid dealing with "what happens to a person from an erased future". | |||

<!-- (First watched | <!-- (First watched 2024-11-26, -27, - -) So the Doctor actually got the TARDIS working by his own effort? I mean, he didn't land it where he wanted to, but he wasn't able to do that BEFORE so it's not a new problem to him. | ||
I'm not sure why they jumped out of the TARDIS when it was teetering over the edge? If they were just going to retrieve it and go back in... better to just stay in and not need retrieving? Surely the TARDIS has its own internal gravity and whatnot so falling over a cliff in it wouldn't be a problem? | |||
I like how the Doctor's preconceived notions are turned on their sides a bit. He sees Ice Warriors and thinks about his previous run-ins with him, but unless they're hiding something for the later episodes... they're diplomats of their species. | |||
I'm not sure when this story is supposed to be taking place. The Ice Warriors rule Mars in the distant past. But if it's a time when they were active in the galaxy, it's too early for humans from Earth to be traveling the galaxy? Or it could be a future time when Ice Warriors have reclaimed Mars as their own? | |||
This planet is a bit weird. I mean, sure, the visitors refer to it as a barbarous place a few times, but... surely they're space travelers if they're in negotiations to join a galactic federation? So is a castle of stone lit by torches purely an aesthetic choice? Also the lack of security cameras? --> | |||
