This episode hits the ground running and perfectly runs to the finish. A perfect way for Doctor Who to enter the 70s with a new format and the first episode to be shot in colour.
Jon Pertwee nails his performance from the get go as well as Caroline John as Liz. It’s always a delight to see Nick Courtney as the Brigadier too. Overall, a perfect 1st episode for any Doctor.
Jim Carrey’s best performance but damn this movie gets really transphobic by the end
Fool me once, Shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Editing wise, it’s better than The Daleks in Colour but after the first half an hour the plot starts to fall apart. It cuts out some important plot details which muddle the story a bit. Also nearly every scene has ear-deafening music which makes it hard to hear the dialogue. Speaking of music, I hate that it implies that The War Chief is The Master as they play…
Kid sneaks off to buy liquor and gets kidnapped by a military. Just like my childhood
