### S01E31: Strangers in Space
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They're in a spaceship, thank goodness. The lighting is pretty bad.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Okay there are these sensorites messing with peoples' minds. Aw, crap,
|
|
|
|
|
we're sort of on Earth. At least it's in the future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a cool premise,
|
|
|
|
|
taking over a ship by manipulating everybody's emotions.
|
|
|
|
|
|

### S01E32: The Unwilling Warriors
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hey! Creepy! I like this story.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Susan is doing something! Nice!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Susan makes a sacrifice
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### S01E33: Hidden Danger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Susan needs to get out of this place! The Doctor's being a real jerk. Again.
|
|
|
|
|
Seems like she's growing up and needs her own space.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anyway. The Sensorites are cool. And I'm glad Barbara seems to get an equal
|
|
|
|
|
say in matters. Like, she just argued with Ian about something, and she was
|
|
|
|
|
like "well then it's settled, we'll do it my way".
|
|
|
|
|
Still can't abide her hairstyle, though.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ian seems really British. It's not difficult to imagine pretty much
|
|
|
|
|
everything he does being done by an older dude with a brandy in his hand.
|
|
|
|
|
He doesn't seem to get to grow as a character,
|
|
|
|
|
he's already fully grown, I guess.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I dig that the sensorites have internal debates.
|

## S01E34-36: More Sensorites
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I guess I didn't write anything down here.
|
|
|
|
|
I really enjoyed this story, though!
|
|
|
|
|
A marked contrast to the rest of this season.
