The Time Warrior - Episode 1
Wow, we haven't been to Earth's past in... a long time. Not since "The Abominable Snowmen" with Patrick Troughton. Nice to see. Location work is excellent, what with the forests and castles and such. Lynx, the Sontaran, is a great new alien menace. Though the part about him snatching scientists from the 20th Century is a bit iffy. We also meet Sarah Jane Smith, the Doctor's new companion. She's a good match for the Doctor, and their first scene shows a nice
spark of playful rivalry, not merely the "What's that, Doctor?" of Jo Grant. And she's very pretty, too. Boba Fett appears here, too, as Hal the Archer. A good start to the story. And speaking of starts, a new title sequence debuts here, too, along with the famous diamond logo. We'll be seeing that for quite a while now.
