"We are the masters of India!" Barbara is brilliant again, a sentence I seem to have typed many times. Her use of history is superb in tricking the daleks.
How do I resolve my plot? I've got nothing... I know.. wait.. Tell the robomen to attack the daleks. Yeah, nice one Terry. At least your consistent. Stop the idiotic plot with an idiotic resolution. Not to mention that a bomb designed to blow up the Earth's core only blew up the mine.
Ah well. Not much of a final Episode for Susan, not that she gets a choice in leaving, she gets rather unceremoniously abandoned because The Doctor "knows better". We do get Hartnell's brilliant speech though so it's not all bad.
So it's goodbye to Susan. No disrespect to Carole Ann Ford but Susan wasn't much of a part and she was asked to desperate-act a bit too much, when she's much better at subtlety. Susan could have become something great but only if Carole-Ann had been allowed to properly inhabit it. As it is we'll never really know.
