* AbsenteeActor: Nyssa only has cameos in Episodes One and Four, due to contractual issues related to her having been a guest character the previous season. One wonders why she couldn't have simply been assigned Todd's role in the story.

Added DiffLines:

* WomenAreWiser: The Kinda certainly think so; only women are supposed to have the power of speech, and Panna thinks only a woman or an "idiot" male could look into the Box of Jhana without going mad.

Added DiffLines:

* PinballProtagonist: The Doctor spends almost half the story in a jail cell, and subsequently is mostly just there to explain what's going on to Todd while the Kinda solve their own problems. Tegan spends most of the story possessed and Nyssa is completely missing in action. The most proactive character from Team TARDIS is Adric; sure, everything he tries fails, but at least he's ''doing something''.

The [=TARDIS=] arrives on the planet Deva Lokka, where the peaceful native Kinda are being screwed with by an imperialist human expedition. (They even wear pith helmets.) The expedition has been reduced to three people: Sanders, the bluff leader; Todd, the kind scientist who wishes she could get closer to the Kinda; and Hindle, the security guy, an already mentally unstable jobsworth who is being bullied into utter insanity by Sanders. The rest of the expedition seems to have gone missing entirely.
