Summary: The Doctor and Sarah Jane arrive on the planet Exxilon, where Daleks and a human expedition are fighting over a mineral that is in abundance.
Review: This was a good story with a dark premise. There are heavy stakes and it doesn’t lag. I thought it was interesting that the Daleks were depowered for most of the story.
I thought the ending for this was great. I liked that for once, it seemed as if a story that didn’t end with the Doctor necessarily winning.
I think this story was slightly flawed, but I really enjoyed it.
Grade: B
What were the flaws? You don’t talk about any of them.
