Doctor Who fans it's that time of the week of the again and well then I have to admit that I wasn't even sure that I even wanted to do a Doctor Who review this week. However tho I started something and i'm determined to get it finished and to see it through to the very end which means that I am indeed back with yet another Doctor Who review and so then join me as I review the episode that started out hated by the Doctor Who fandom but had steadily been getting alot more love and respect with the episode in question being called simply just "Kinda" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is The Doctor , Nyssa , Tegan and Adric land on a planet so that Nyssa can relax however while there the group happen upon a dangerous religious figure that will scare Teagan for quite some time. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty confusing and very freaking hard to follow at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is of course Peter Davison as The Doctor , Matthew Waterhouse as Adric , Sarah Sutton as Nyssa and Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka. Also starring in this episode is Richard Todd as Sanders , Nerys Hughes as Todd , Simon Rouse as Hindle , Mary Morris as Panna , Sarah Prince as Karuna , Adrian Mills as Aris , Lee Cornes as Trickster , Jeff Stewart as Dukkha , Anna Wing as Anatta and Roger Milner as Annica.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty. Really good alot of this comes down to things the first of which is the that cast are genuinely good actors and actresses and the second of which is that director Peter Grimwade really does know how to direct his cast in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then if there's one thing that this episode is famous for and it's the fact that the main snake villain is made up of one terribly made bad puppet. Which yeah does look really bad even by the standards of the early nineteen eighties and what makes things even worse is the fact that they could have done this snake alot better if they just had more time to build a better puppet in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then as with the past two episodes of this particular series this episode also gets rid of one companion. However instead of just having that companion just straight up disappear from the main storyline of the episode this episode actually writes out the companion and gives them an actual reason for not appearing in this episode which is something that I wished the previous two episodes in this series did as it shows that the writer actually knows what the heck they are doing in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
This episode was directed by writer and director Peter Grimwade with this episode actually being his second to last episode that he directed for Doctor Who. I have to say that the man really was a talented director and by all accounts he was a pleasure to work with as a director but his friendship with producer John Nathan Turner went downhill all because he wouldn't invite John Nathan Turner out to lunch even tho he was going to take him out do dinner anyways which is just a stupid reason to not keep him on board as a director in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
This episode is very much a Tegan episode but even so she doesn't really get alot of the focus in this episode. Which is a shame because when we do get to see her she's usually doing something that is key to moving along the plot of the episode and alot of her scenes really do offer up something that is at the very least very visually interesting which is something that cannot be said for alot of this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then this episode is actually four episodes long with each episode lasting no more then twenty five minuets in length which means that this episode had an overall grand total running time of roughly one hour and thirty eight minuets in total running time length. Which was a great amount of time for this episode to last however I really do feel that this episode could have been at the vert least five or even six episodes long since then you could have made the story alot stronger amongst over things all of which would have made this episode alot better then what it already is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then since there is an action packed finale to this episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Which considering that Classic Doctor Who very rarely if ever did any kind of action scenes whatsoever that is a freaking good thing in my freaking anyways / at least.
Overall this episode is the worst episode of series nineteen thus far which I have a feeling that that will change once we reach Time Flight but for now at least this episode is the worst one of this entire series in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very rev8ew and well then that means that this very review and that means that this very episode erns itself a a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com , Amazon . Co . Uk the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.
