48.The Seeds of Death

Ice! Ice! Baby!

The Ice Warriors make a welcomed return to Doctor Who for their second outing. This time the Ice Warriors invade the Moon and take over the T-Mat transporter system. Apparently in the 21st century, Earth develops a matter transmitter system that eliminates all over forms of transportation. So with the T-Mat hijacked by the Ice Warriors, the Doctor and crew has to pilot an old rocket ship to the moon.

It's actually quite amusing to see them recreate a rocket to the moon, mere months before the real thing. The Doctor is great throughout this story. He runs circles around the lumbering Ice Warriors, literally. We are introduced to a new caste of Ice Warrior, the Ice Lord. Thinner, sleeker, a more smoother and shinier helmet. They're the envy of all Ice Kind!

As the days of the Second Doctor wind down, this is classic among classics!
