166. (1.7) The Long Game

I call him MAX!

This story is a cautionary tale for what type of companion not to bring on the TARDIS. At the end of last story, Adam walks into the TARDIS and joins the crew. This story sees Adam get into a hellavuah lotta trouble! He's brilliant throughout the story and only wants to share some future knowledge with the past. I think if he was with any other Doctor, they would forgive him and let him stay. But not the 9th Doctor. At episodes end, Adam is booted back to the 21st century with a big, gaping hole in his head. 

The other star turn in this story is Simon Pegg's Editor. Pure Simon Pegg doing what he does best. Kind of a slimy business man like Sil, but not so literally slimy. He's brilliant and should have been recurring character. But it's still a joy to have such a big movie star do an episode of Doctor Who.
