(After two episodes) Wow, so far this is my favorite serial yet. The Daleks was cool, but here there seems to be much more travel and variety. The first episode has them learning about a sea of acid, getting into trouble investigating a big building, and being sent on a planetwide hunt for several keys. The second episode has weird jarred brains turning people into slaves, but that's resolved by the end of the episode as Barbara smashes them (!!) and the group gains some guest characters before splitting up to their new destinations. It does seem odd that the first person to travel to a new place seems to be there a lot longer, though. Barbara went to the brain-slave place less than a minute before the others, but she was in another room with knowledge of the place and changed clothes by the time they met again. At the end of the second episode it seemed like they'd be immediately following Susan, but she must've been there at least 15 seconds freaking out about the noises before the episode ended. | (After two episodes) Wow, so far this is my favorite serial yet.

(After fifth) It's a good thing the Doctor showed back up; I was about to suggest changing the name of the show to Mister Chesterton. The Doctor as a defense attorney looked like Manfred von Karma gone good. | (After fifth) It's a good thing the Doctor showed back up; I was about to suggest changing the name of the show to Mister Chesterton.

(After sixth) Conclusion was... disappointing, but understandably so. After all that work to get the various keys, it's mostly effort wasted as the baddies end up blowing up the thing with a fake key anyway. On the other hand it did seem weird that their ultimate goal was working to return a sort of planetary mind control device to working order. Altos needs pants. | |||
