First off, superb introduction as we approach the finale of Season 7. Three singing, in the beginning, is funny to listen to. Too bad it got stuck in my head 10 minutes later after that scene, lol. In the plot, UNIT starts its drilling project and, the guy who was working gets exposed to a green burning liquid that leaked from a machine which turns him into something else, poor guy. All he was doing his usual work. The dialogue is enjoyable to listen to. Some of them are pretty laughable. The side characters are neatly written. Well done, Don Houghton. It's a shame that we didn't get a proper departure from Liz. She was an engaging and intelligent companion. I would love to see her more. "Funny gadgets?" "I'll think of something. I hope." The scene where the Doctor disappears along with his console was pretty weird. I must say, the Doctor and the Brigadier are getting along more.
There seems to be a nuclear meltdown, alarming everyone at UNIT. The Doctor confronts the infected guy. Later, a UNIT soldier fires at him making him feel unsafe attacking the UNIT soldier, and then dies. I feel bad for the dude. He had much to live for. Three more men die from the ongoing infection. The Doctor suspects there's a link to this and the 1883 volcanic eruption of Krakatoa. Eric gets infected as well. He should have listened to the Doctor instead of being dumb, arrogant, and arguing. The Doctor disappears and lands on a parallel world.
I assume that this is the first time that the writers did a parallel story. It was excellently so well-done. The car chase was intense. I can agree that the makeup aged horribly, but I have no problem with that. We meet a different Liz who is strict and, I love how they did the Brigade-Leader, excellent performance Courtney did, also John's. Too bad. The situation is more worse in the parallel world.
Episode 4 had an intense cliffhanger, well-done. Especially when it comes to countdowns. After that, things have gone to hell. The Brigade-Leader and Liz would finally trust the Doctor. I like how it feels terrifying throughout the last episodes because there isn't any music. That lava cliffhanger has to be one of the best cliffhangers ever. I feel bad for the people who had to wait for a week to see what happened next.
The Doctor finally returns to his world, but he's in a coma. Liz listens to his mumblings and orders UNIT personnel to reverse everything to solve the nuclear meltdown. Stahlman gets infected and gets "attacked" by fire extinguishers. Interesting observation how he says "It's getting cold in here." but it's getting hot in the control room. Later on, the personnel dismantles the drilling operation. "Brigadier, there are times when you strongly remind me of your other self." lol. Brilliant conclusion after all.
Next time, we'll see a mysterious renegade Time Lord who will team up with the Autons terrorizing Earth, but there is a new companion.
10/10, one of the best finales.
