The Krotons - Episode 1

Wow, the video quality and especially the audio quality of this episode are both excellent. Oh, look, there's Zoe showing plenty of leg with her short skirt and boots. Sadly, the story doesn't quite match up to those wonderful heights. It's not nearly as terrible as legend holds this story to be, but it's not outstanding. As a first example of Robert Holmes' writing, it's not promising... but he does get better. The guest cast aren't impressive, either. However, I do think the booming voice of the Kroton is really cool. Deep and menacing, I've always thought very highly of the voice. Weird cliffhanger, with the Doctor writhing on the ground, trying to avoid some weird phallic flashlight/probe thing. Don't ask.
