This was fun, and oh hey, Eleventy! It was very RTD in that the plot made no sense whatsoever and was only there to provide a minimal framework on which to set some lovely character scenes. Jo Jones was great; I loved her a lot. I think my favorite scene was the conversation between her and the Doctor on the battlefield planet. That, and Clyde (who is now my favoritest person ever by the way and I want him to be in series 6) giving the Doctor the third degree as they are shuffling for their lives out of the ventilation shaft.
Yeah, Clyde switching places with the Doctor was great, and the "remember when we used to go running off to other worlds?" bit right before they zapped 10000 light-years away was great, and "What about the Mona Lisa?" was great and the Doctor giving them the "gotcha" at the end was faboo... so there were a few things that were a bit "meh" but I wave my hands at them and instead focus on the Doctor telling Jo "oh, you're an idiot!" in the most lovingly possible way.
(Wouldn't it have been more interesting, though, if Sarah Jane and Jo didn't just overload the memory weave but turned the little key weave instead into a weave of the Doctor? That would've been a hell of a way to get inside the door!)
That was fun. And now I want to see the Christmas special and series 6. Right now! Darn it.
