This is my favourite story of this season. It's utterly bizarre and surreal, I love it. It's season 18 in its purest form, no other story sums up what they were trying to do with this season better than this does.

"Are you alone?", "Not now you're here", Packard and Romana, "Warriors' Gate" This is a very odd story - it reminds me, also, a bit like "The Mind Robber" - and not just because episode one of "The Mind Robber" had people wandering around in a large blank space. It is more that - the setup is so different to anything else we've seen and it takes a while to grasp what is actually happening. They really got their money's worth out of their new video effects device here. We've seen it used from the first story this season in "The Leisure Hive" with the Recreation Generator. And in this one we have all the strange "time" effects when Biroc is moving around - and other "time" things like the coin getting tossed. Incidentally, tossing the coin always reminds me of the coin tossing in the play/film "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" - there's kind of an odd timelessness in that play too. And, Aldo and Royce in this story are really odd - but fun in a bored-out-of-their-minds way - Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Romana steals these episodes - her dialog with the ship crew is great. And she calls herself "Romanadvoratrelundar" again - (is that the first time for Lalla?) The character "Sagan" was named after Carl Sagan. A small blooper - but it worries me. Adric takes one of K9's ears to aid triangulation but when K9 finds the Doctor he has both of his ears. "How can you navigate if you can't see where you're going?", "I use a digitally-modelled time-cone isometry parallel-bussed into the image translator.", Packard and Romana, "Warriors' Gate"
