So she might have been better off staynig asleep on the park bench?
despite some rather dodgy production values
Must have had the work experience student paint the TARDIS console 
Aside from the dodgy Vardan special effects, the equally dodgy Sontaran make-up, and Leela's weak and sudden departure, I quite agree. A number of fans hate how the show presented the interior of the TARDIS, but I've always loved it and wanted more. That's probably nostalgia talking though.
Plus, we get the show's first Time Lady, Rodan, who's clearly a precursor to Romana.
Yeah, I posted midway through the serial and I totally didn't saw the Leela thing coming. I didn't think that her leaving scene was totally unredeemable, while her leaving because she fell in love with some native does suck and feels very cliche at least the Doctor says something along the lines of "She'll protect you" and not the other way around (which would have made zero sense), but that's really all I can say in favor of that ending.
The special effects and make-up really didn't bother me; after a solid month of Classic Who I've seen worse
And now for the highly underrated The Pirate Planet. So very Douglas Adamsian.
I did like the "She'll protect you" line. On the plus side, the Big Finish audio play series, Gallifrey, did great things for Leela's time there. Teaming up with Romana helped a lot.Yeah, I posted midway through the serial and I totally didn't saw the Leela thing coming.

Was a nasty bugger but there were times when one did feel some sympathy for him.
I like that parrot far more than overrated Boba Fett.Watching it now.
I'm calling this one "The one with the Boba Fett parrot"
Fancy shoes, though.And Romana changed shoes!
Missed out on The Stones of Blood and now The Androids of Tara because of the Belgium/Japan match, but I plan to catch them on the repeat. Androids, at least, because it's a fantastic serial. I've never been fond of Stones.
Okay, what is it with Doctor Who and characters looking identical without any reason? First the Second Doctor and Salamandar in "The Enemy of the World" and then Romana and Strella in "The Androids of Tara". And more importantly why do they make such good episodes?!
