"What are you going to do?", "I haven't the slightest intention of telling you until I know if you're with me.", Adric and the Doctor, "Four to Doomsday" I like the conversations between Adric and the Doctor, and between Tegan and the Doctor in this one. And we get disagreements between companions - it's all good character stuff. Now, I love K9 but his arguments with the Doctor never lasted very long. But Nyssa (who I really like) was a bit out-of-it in these last two episodes - betwen being hypnotized and an extraction-helmet stuck on her head. But she comes through, when the Doctor is about to have his head chopped off, with a nifty use of the sonic and a pencil. Hooray! When Bigon was showing the Doctor around the ship, there was a comment about the androids attempting to find equations to let Monarch achieve his goal of moving faster than light. I was reminded, while watching it now, of the Krillitanes getting the children to solve their problem in "School Reunion". In the space-walk sequence, Peter was balancing on a office chair which was being pulled across the CSO set by a rope. It looks quite crude these days, but Peter was quite proud of the effect. They joke on the commentary track how this was something the production people wouldn't have been able to convince Tom to attempt. But when you know about the chair, the rope looks - well, just like a rope laying on the ground. Throwing the cricket ball was a fun idea. I don't think would work exactly as presented, but it's quite entertaining, isn't it. And that's why we watch Who. I do like the scene with Tegan alone on the TARDIS getting frustrated. And I really like Bigon in this story.
