After the mystery of the opening
episode and the humour of the second. It seems that its been replaced with
nothing. We get to see how the Morok’s really don’t like one another and are
even quite nasty to each other whereas the Xerons are still a hiding around
trying to stage a revolution against the Moroks. The regulars have all now
split up with the Doctor being prepared for the museum, Vicki having some
lunch, Barbara hides then tries to get out of a room before being gassed and
Ian is walking around threatening people.
I don’t know whether it’s the fact
that I’m not really in the mood for this episode or what but I am hard pressed
to remember what is going on in the early part. It only really gets interesting
when Vicki becomes more involved and helps the Xerons gain access to the
armoury. She gets to use a bit of her feistiness and also her intelligence and
it makes up for the poor way she was treated in the previous episodes. In this
episode she has to try and get around a truth machine that is blocking the
Xerons from the guns. It does raise the purpose of a machine that can be
changed so quickly.
The cliffhanger is quite a good
one because all we see is Ian looking in the camera’s direction and simply
saying “Doctor”. We don’t see him but it paints a wonderful image as to what we
will see in the final episode. I cant say that I was as bowled over by this
episode as I was by the previous two. It picked up the final half but the first
half was lacking in any excitement.
