The War Games episode 1 &2

The first big impression that I get from just the first two parts of The War Games is how dynamic and expansive it feels. It uses Time as a plot device in a way that hasn't been seen since Evil of the DaleksThe Ark, and Dalek Masterplan. Since so much of Troughton's stories are tied down to one small base or area, this already has a larger sense of scope that lends it a nice, exciting energy. Episode 2 also benefits from some good location film work and a funny bit by Troughton as he impersonates a government inspector.
