The Web Planet - Episode 6: The Centre
Now I completely forgot about this last post, but that cliff hanger into this episode was incredibly phallic. It was kind of disturbing, to me at least.
Though off that and to never return. So this episode makes the events of last episode irrelevant. Whatever the Doctor needed to bring to the Animus was left behind for the menoptra to find and take themselves. After the last episode when the menoptra gave the Doctor that thing to take to the Animus so they'd be able to do...something.
That's about where this falls for me. Things happen, but I'm not really sure why they are happening. And a lot of running in place with the plot. You could have trimmed the episodes down to just Barbara's plot, and with a tweak here and there, you'd have the same story. That's how little there was actually going on.
Also, I feel bad for William Russell. Talk about absolutely nothing to do for several episodes. Just roam around until the end of the story and find everyone just in time for them all to leave.
And with that we say good bye to the Zarbi, their new overlords the jammy footed Manoptra, and the regressed evolution Optera. I'm sure nothing bad will ever happen here again.
Next Episode: The Lion.
