Started 1-Aug-2018Boy it's good to see moving pictures.
The strength of this is the before and after plot.
The shortcomings are the Monoids and the Guardians.... oh and the Refusian too.
There are strong moments (the vase smashing scene) and weak ones (anything Security Kitchen related)
The Monoids are moronic villians. The Guardians are moronic heroes. Zentos makes me want to throw things at the TV.
The effects and the production are ambitious. The regulars are on form.
The ending of episode 2 is strong candidate for best ep ending of series 3, an award that is not distinguished at many points up to this in the whole series. (I mean it gets better from here....)

ReplyDeleteThe last of short lived producer John Wiles' 4 DW serials and the only one to survive archive purges. Presented for the first time in VidFire (video look) and comprehensively digitally restored, this is the best it's ever looked. Watch for an uncredited walk on by noted Aussie actor the late, great Bill Hunter!!!!
