Glad you had fun with this one. Ian's trial and threatened execution makes for a nicely suspenseful episode, even though Terry Nation resorts no less than three times in these two episodes to the old cliche of a villain needlessly blurting out something that instantly gives him or her away. William Hartnell's two-week holiday obviously did him some good, as (despite a couple of fluffed lines) he's far more commanding in Part 5 than he was in the first couple of episodes. The Voord tripping over his own flippers in the final episode is a classic gaffe -- and because at this point you're watching what's basically a filmed stage performance, there will be more of these moments to come... :-)

The thing I really like about these two episodes is the world-building about Millennius - all the little casual references to their laws and customs and things. I think it really helps to sell it as an actual, real place. It's probably one of the best examples of this in all of sixties Who.
