DW: Planet of Giants

Hey Guys,

welcome to the second season of Doctor Who with the first story ‘Planet of the Giants’. The story is just to mock Barbara and Ian. The actually landed in the right time (June 1969) but they got a lot smaller. That makes everything more complicated to achieve.

Too small

The story is nothing special. Ian finds himself in a murder case. They try to get justice for the victim what is not as simple as it seems when you are so little. For me the story itself is a little boring but it is kinda funny and interessting to see how they try to get stuff done in that size.
Also it is really a hard hit for Ian and Barbara to be that close to home. Sometimes we forget that they just want to be home. They grow to love the Doctor and Susan and also the traveling and the adventures. But in the end they still just want to get home and back to her life as teachers.
That is another reason i love these two. They know who they were and what they want in life before they met the Doctor. Of course the travel change them but they only make them more aware of what they really want.
