Recently having watched this episode for the first time in almost nine years, I was blown away with how well it held up. (The rotten dream sequence towards the end doesn't count, considering the low budget for this show, and can be forgiven.) An Imperialist humanoid race (remarkably similar to the pre-WWI British) is ruthlessly assessing a paradisal world for colonization. The Doctor arrives just in time to prevent a malevolent, non-physical entity called the Mara from exploiting the sure-to-end ... Read More

"Paradise, isn't it? The sun shines, the birds sing, food grows on trees?" On the lush forest world planet S14 (Deva Loka), the Doctor and Adric run into an Earth military expedition consisting of Colonel Saunders, Security Officer Hindle, and Dr. Todd, the surviving members of a former six-person mission on whether or not to colonize Kinda. The forest world concept is borrowed from Ursula LeGuin's 1970's story The World For World Is Forest, which was an indirect protest against the US presence in ... Read More

"Kinda", first broadcast in 1982 (not 1975 - how did Amazon come up with that?) as part of season 19, is easily one of the best Peter Davison adventures, if not the entire series.

Although it seems simplistic, the telling of the story is quite original and, like other recent adventures, geared more in a classic ... Read More

When I read a review for "Kinda," all I heard was that Janet Fielding was real great in it and such praise like that. So, when I watched it, I found (to my delight) that most of the companions really didn't do much in this story. Nyssa mainly sleeps though the adventure in the TARDIS, Tegan has weird dreams and gets possessed, and Adric is trapped in the dome with the psychos. Who, in my opinion, really shines in this story is Peter Davison. While he gave a great performance in "Castrovalva," he had not ... Read More

This was the FIRST doctor who video I purchased a bit ago (I now have almost 30). I sat down and I was totally tuned into it. Janet Fielding is unbelievably good in this episode, and Peter Davison plays a very good Doctor! The Mara, you could tell was fake, but thats how it was back in the eighties. BBC didn't have as much money as we did to make semi-good effects back then. Everyone acted so well in this episode, although Sarah Sutton was only in the first few bits of the first episode, and a couple seconds ... Read More
