And so another familiar element falls into place - the cliffhanger sting has arrived!

I found the first two parts of this story somewhat confusing because it does seem as though nobody can be trusted. This story is very notable for being the first to feature what is known as 'the sting' (the screechy electronic part of the ending). You may be slightly baffled by the fact that the equipment featured in this story seems kind of futuristic (plus the fact that astronauts got to Mars & back) when it's assumed the stories take place in the early 1970's. Now this is actually never addressed in any of the episodes (so not a spoiler) - but it's fairly well known among classic WHO fans that the third Doctor is actually supposedly in the 1980's. From what I understand I think it was done to give the earth bound stories a slightly more futuristic feel. Knowing this will make a bit more sense going forward. I can't of course reveal what occurs but I think you'll enjoy it. Thanks for another great reaction. See you next time.

Loved the observation about the music. There's a scene coming up that made me laugh out loud with the contrast between what's on screen and the tone of the music.
