Jumping Ship: Katarina, the first companion ever to get killed off.
The Plot: The Daleks have allied themselves with the Guardian of the Solar System to betray the entire galaxy. And you thought President Obama was bad!
We Like: Episode 2 is the only extant episode featuring Katarina, so it's good to know she hasn't been erased from history. The rest, well, we only got about a fourth of what was shown so...nevertheless, pretty exciting.
We Dislike: Some of the middle episodes don't have anything to do with the plot, so just sit back, relax and watch Dr. Who have a toast on ye!
Rating: 3
