A great, cerebral, clever story. The snake is a little naff, but doesn’t detract from it at all. Todd is fantastic. Would’ve been a really good companion. The cast are terrific. The portrayals of breakdowns and possession are superbly done. The writing is too notch, and the conclusion is satisfying. I too would find paradise ‘a little too green’ Probably in my top 5 Fifth Doctor stories

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned it yet (unless I missed it), but many of the characters names represent concepts in Buddhism. The people in Tegan's dream are Annica (impermanence), Anatta (illusion of self), and Dukkha (pain/suffering/dissatisfaction); together, they are the "three marks of existence." Karuna (the girl) is compassion. Panna (the old woman) is wisdom/intelligence/understanding/insight.

It's still hard not to see the parallel between this story and Brtish colonial rule in India. Science (particularly climate science) seems to be challenging our ideas about technological sophistication being superior to cultural sophistication - as if the two went hand in hand. I'm reminded of the question put to Gandhi: 'What do you think of western civilization?' - to which he famously replied: 'I think it would be a good idea'.

Long-time viewer, and I've been waiting for this one pretty much since Classic Who reactions started, especially after Jess's reaction to the stop-motion Medusa in The Mind Robber. Not because I want to see Jess terrified, but because the Mara prop is infamously terrible so I thought it would be deeply funny to see if her phobia would be triggered by such an obviously hokey fake giant snake and therefore make her the only person in the history of Who to actually be scared by it. Expectations met, glad she went with the original rather than the actually reasonable updated effects.

I did end up really liking Rogue by the end of the episode, and I think his and the Doctor's brief relationship was both cute and heartbreaking, but I will admit that my impression of him for the first half of the episode was along the lines of "Damn, RTD _really_ wants to set up another spinoff show, huh?" I guess only time will tell if Rogue ends up being as successful as Captain Jack was nearly 20 years ago; all I know is that I'll certainly be there to watch if he does. Also, the villains in this episode were absolutely top-notch. Alien shapeshifting owl-people wiping out societies for the sake of cosplay is one of those utterly ridiculous but incredibly creative concepts that only this show can pull off.

We've seen the same overlapping reincarnation thing that happens with Panna and Karuna before, remember. With K'Anpo and Cho-Je in Pertwee's final story "Planet of the Spiders" (which is equally full of Buddhism). The same consciousness in two different bodies. The Doctor has done it too occasionally; The Watcher in Logopolis, and of course in multi-Doctor stories like The Three Doctors when he communes with his own mind in different incarnations ("contact!")...

I'll be honest: I wasn't sure how I felt about this episode up until the last 5 minutes. A lot of it felt like yet another shallow "THE YOUTH ARE ADDICTED TO SCREENS" commentary that countless shows have done and done badly already (Black Mirror my beloathed), and the main character felt too annoying to be likeable, even with what she was going through. Little did I know that there was a much bigger and more poignant commentary coming, and that the main character being unlikable was very much the point. RTD and all the actors- especially Ncuti- absolutely _nailed_ this one.
@alexfletcher5192Күн бұрын
The Mara quickly establishes itself as a supernatural force on the scale of previous boss horrors like Azal or the Fendahl, but the snake motif is very useful. It embodies a kind of terror that dates back to prehistoric times - although the realisation of our giant pink python *ahem* is rather more terrifying in updated versions. As for the rest of the story, there's nothing more confusing for Brits of my generation than seeing Adrian Mills (Aris) as the temporary embodiment of evil. In my youth, he was a presenter on the BBC's whimsical consumer affairs programme 'That's Life!', which included many hard-hitting pieces; such as a report on a dog that could say 'Sausages!' - It's as ridiculous as it sounds.
