Project: Who - The Visitation 3
The Visitation 3
Just in the nick of time, a man walks in and stops the execution. Bowie's Boss wants them.
Adric returns to the Tardis, where he bickers with Nyssa, who is wandering around aimlessly with some weird piece of equipment.
Tegan is under the creature's mind control.
The Doctor talks with Bowie's Boss. He offers to take the creature to another planet - crashing on Earth was an accident - but he declines. He has another idea in mind. Killing all the Humans.
Adric runs out of the Tardis, right into a trap. Had he listened to Nyssa, that wouldn't happen.
The creature destroys the Doctor's sonic screwdriver. Then, under his prompting, Tegan moves to kill the Doctor.

Memory has certainly played tricks on me. It's the Adric and Tegan swap. Why in the world was I ever a fan of Adric? He's given no reason to like him. Was it because I was a teenager when I first saw his stories on PBS, and therefore identified "Oh, sweet, someone I can identify with is traveling with the Doctor"? I don't know. He's dropped on the list of favorite companions. Right now, he's hovering down just a few spots above Useless and Rose. If he doesn't do something to justify being on the show pretty damned soon, he'll earn his place as one of the trio of suckitude.
I'm struggling to talk about this episode. Other than the guy destroying the sonic screwdriver, every single plotpoint has been done. Tegan under mind control? Check. Nyssa stuck in the Tardis with nothing to do? Check. The Doctor facing his final doom? Check. Adric not listening to anyone and getting himself captured because of it? Check. Alien bad guy threatening to wipe out all life on Earth? Check.
I really did enjoy the first two episodes ... This one just didn't grab me, I guess.
