YMMV / Doctor Who S23 E2 "Mindwarp"

• Ensemble Dark Horse: King Ycranos. BRIAN BLESSED!!!!! as a warrior king. That is all.
• He Really Can Act: Nicola Bryant pulls off Peri's transformation into the sinister, grasping Kiv quite effectively.
• Narm: The end of the first part ends on a close-up of the Doctors face, like usual, but between the writhing Colin Baker commits to causing the camera to have considerable trouble even following him and the... sound that he makes while plugged into the machine it makes the suspenseful cliffhanger rather ridiculous.
• Padding: Actually Lampshaded, as at the trial the Doctor asks what exactly the "silliness" between him and Peri has to do with the case against him.
• Squick: The pulsating brain is nauseating. Great effect, though.
