mllelaurel"Androids" was a lot of fun. It helped a great deal that many of the scenes were set outside and thus looked more natural (no pun intended, really), and that the Cheesy Sci-Fi was kept to a minimum, in favor of the human story. I *have* heard that the story in question is strongly based on "The Prisoner of Zenda," but having never seen it, I can't really comment. All in all a fun story, and I loved the fact that Romana got *herself* out of trouble, rather than having the Doctor rescue her all the time. I'd be a lot less fine with her constantly getting kidnapped, if this weren't the case. Plus dude. Swordfight. Duuude. (Moving right along. Please ignore Lily's personal kinks.)
"The Power of Kroll," on the other hand, did good things for my insomnia. I'm good with human history parallels (Daleks=Nazis, of course), but when it's obvious and moralistic...oi. Plus the boredom factor. Oooh, the big squid ate more people. It would help if I cared about the people what got et. Pretty good looking giant squid, though. I will also say that I liked Romana being all pragmatic, in the face of the Doctor's phillosophy. "That's great, but I'd rather not die at all." <3
