Note: I utterly failed at keeping up my stats here, either there was no Doctor unconsciousness or companion trauma or I just didn't note it. One of these days I'll have to do a quick review to verify.

I really liked this one. It was clear they had blown the effects budget as it was all double exposures and one sad monster recycled into many. Even K9 was exiled on the TARDIS in pieces, voiceless. But I really liked this one. Four was in a better mood (well sometimes) but he apologized for the couple of tantrums he threw. The humorous debate about K9's gender made a nice bookend to the story.
The Sunmakers.
K9 is hilarious in the ep. So full marks regardless.
1) Just like a dog, Four had to spell walk to keep K9 from losing his little puppy mind.
2) But, just like my actual dog, he figured it out what the word was any way.
3) But true to K9 he then proceeds to beg for a walk with big fancy words.
4) The Doctor plays chess with K9 and cheats making K9 growl at him.
In short, K9 makes everything better.
Not as bad story. Kind of formulaic but Four spent much of the time being sneaky and doing Time Lord tricks, so I approve.
