The Mutants

Mist. A panting man.
Scottish people are shouting.
His back is lumpy.

It's a haiku! That guy just did one hell of a line-read. I think that other guy just said "mutt found dead" but it sounded like "mutt farm dead". I find that amusing.

Look, the Doctor is using a normal screwdriver. How does he know all this stuff just from looking at stuff? He doesn't even stop to think. And I thought Jo was hungry? Why does she just go jaunting off to some unknown destination to deliver what the Doctor is pretty sure is some kind of container to someone who they don't know who it is?

Um, what? They always make the establishment of the alien society very confusing. Ok, you guys clearly aren't the ones being received as guests, you materialized in a broom cupboard. HOLY GOD, THAT'S.... THAT'S.... I don't know who that is. He looks a LOT like someone, I just can't remember who...

Yeesh, that guy is back. It might be his accent, but honestly he's having trouble getting those lines out. Uh... no, really, what's going on?

The Time Lords seem to regard the Doctor as a pretty reliable agent, considering WOAH THAT GUY'S BEEN IN ANOTHER EPISODE... WHO WAS HE... I RECOGNIZE HIM... I'mma look it up. Ok, it's Geoffrey Palmer, and he was in Voyage of the Damned, apparently! As well as Doctor Who and the Silurians. Also, apparently there are a number of reused actors in this serial. I dunno, he seems familiar from a different serial.

This Faron guy sure is an actor, you betcha. And he's turning into a mutant! Oh no! He's being called to the place of darkness and light that I thought was Jo being influenced by hallucinogenic gasses. Oh no! The grenades went off! Stubbs! LIVE DAMN YOU! Dude, Dailymotion has taken a renewed liking to me. The ads have slowed to a trickle and nearly every part starts right away without moaning about stream errors.

That was an oddly muddled exchange for a TV show. GASP! It's... a... bald guy. Oh, he's the Earth guy who came to learn about the culture and can probably read the strange markings on the thing that was in the container.

The Doctor is so great. He's like Sherlock Holmes, he has to know the answer even if it endangers his life. Actually knowing this answer will probably be practically useful. Guys are always touching Jo, it's upsetting. Hey! I came up with the seasons thing! I thought of that! That's the answer! I thought it was probably seasons, because Spring is just now turning to Summer as we recently learned. One of the tablets indicated radiation... Ok, I have no idea what they're talking about. Whatever.

Uh, ok, so the Doctor took some... thing, a rock or something out of a statue thing in the place of light and darkness and now he's bringing it back. Ok, Faron is crazy and very annoying.

Ok, so in the end the mutants were a halfway form that needed the special crystal thing to become rainbowy ascended beings that can move through walls and do anything. Neat.
