A creepy man in a suit walks through a school. He’s the headmaster Mr Finch. He finds a child sitting outside his office, he’s about to send her away when he finds out that she’s from a children’s home, nobody to miss her. He invites her into his office, there’s a scream and, well I don’t think it ended well for the child.

This week’s classic Star Trek episode is A Piece of the Action. The episode synopsis is here. Although the episode delves into the serious side of the Prime Directive and what can happen when it is violated there are some light hearted moments that make it all in all a fun episode.

The Daleks are one of the most powerful and feared races in all the universe. They originated from the planet Skaro and were once a race of humanoid scientists and teachers known as Kaleds, living at peace with the other inhabitants of their planet, the Thals. However, peace was not to last and eventually a neutron war broke out which would last for one-thousand years and totally decimate their planet. Realising that their species would eventually mutate, a group of Kaled scientists, lead by the cripple Davros, created a travel machine for the creature their race would soon become. However, Davros had a greater ambition and started tampering with the minds of the creatures and made them into monsters without pity or mercy. They would hate everyone and everything that wasn’t a Dalek and, to ensure their ultimate survival above all other races, would wipe everything else out.

When Rygel offers Moya’s crew to Scorpius in exchange for his own freedom, it falls to D’Argo and Crichton to engineer a diversion that will allow Moya to escape. On board the Command Carrier, Rygel is witness to Scorpius supplanting Crais as Commander, and also to Crais’ own crisis of faith. Crichton sees only one way for Moya to escape: he and D’Argo must carry out a spectacular suicide mission to stop Scorpius in his tracks.

After giving my thoughts on the Deception arc a couple of weeks ago, I decided to move on to the next arc, and the Season Four finale, the Revenge arc. It was the arc that bought back Darth Maul from the dead (which was quite a controversial decision at the time) and also continued the story of Ventress.

Kung Fun monks take over a remote house in Scotland. I kid you not!
The Doctor and Rose are aiming to see Ian Dury in 1979 and end up in Scotland in 1879, a usual sort of mistake, and there they meet Queen Victoria. Unfortunately the clothes which Rose had picked out for their planned destination are now far from suitable.

The Cybermen were once just like us, living on Earth’s twin planet Mondas. Eventually, Mondas drifted away to the outer reaches of the Solar System and its people began to die from either the cold or new diseases. Their scientists came up with a solution and began replacing limbs and organs with machinery. These operations eventually became mundane and soon it began impossible to distinguish machine from person. Even the brain was altered and emotions removed. They got the immortality they sought, but it costed them their humanity. They then piloted their planet back towards Earth and intended to drain its energy, destroying it in the process. Landing a force at the South pole, they intended to take some humans back to Mondas to save them from the impending destruction. But they fought back and stalled them long enough for Mondas to absorb too much energy and explode. The Cybermen were defeated with no place to call home, but they were far from powerless, for their overriding goal is survival and when they are most venerable is when they are most dangerous.

Still on the run from Crais, Moya responds to a distress call and lands on a highly vegetated asteroid. The crew saves a helpless alien, M’Lee, from a formidable monster, Br’Nee, and in the struggle their transportation is disabled. Stranded for the moment, the crew discovers that Br’Nee was in fact part of a research team that was annihilated by the ‘bone eater’ M’Lee. When Zhaan then disappears, it seems there are even darker truths to be revealed.

Having saved the Earth (again) it’s time for the 10th Doctor to take Rose somewhere different. The future and New Earth. New New York (well the 15th one but that would be a bit of a mouthful wouldn’t it).
But before going to the city they have to visit a hospital, someone has sent the Doctor a message on his psychic paper. “Ward 26. Please come.” As they chat they’re being watched, it’s Cassandra O’Brian and she recognises Rose.
