This is another typical primitive alien race occupied and under the control of a superior force and the Doctor drops in, starts a revolution, gets the primitives to overthrow the superior regime, and departs leaving the primitives to run their own lives. Good times.
The Krotons themselves look lovely on screen, from the waist up. Their skirts look a little dodgy but thankfully they're not seen that often. They have deep and booming voices and are appropriately menacing. It's surprising they never made another appearance on Doctor Who.
Zoe really shines in this episode, showcasing her intellect and demonstrating she might actually be smarter than the Doctor. It fringes on annoying at times but very endearing.
The other notable thing about this episode is that is the first written contribution of Robert Holmes, who is one of the legendary giants in the Doctor Who mythos. More from him later!
