    ## Kinda: A Trippy and Thought-Provoking Tale

    **Kinda** is a unique and often divisive episode of Doctor Who.
    It's a story steeped in surrealism and philosophical exploration,
    with a heavy emphasis on the subconscious mind.

    **Strengths:**

    * **Innovative Storytelling:** The episode takes risks and experiments
    with unconventional narrative techniques, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.

    * **The Mara:** The Mara, a manifestation of Tegan's fears and insecurities,
    is a compelling and unsettling antagonist.

    * **Philosophical Depth:** The story delves into complex themes of identity, consciousness, and the nature of reality.

    **Weaknesses:**

    * **Confusing Plot:** The non-linear narrative and abstract concepts
    can be challenging to follow for some viewers.

    * **Uneven Tone:** The story shifts between surreal horror
    and comedic moments, which can be jarring.

    * **Pacing Issues:** The episode can feel slow-paced at times,
    as it focuses on internal character exploration rather than external action.

    **Overall:**

    **Kinda** is a bold and ambitious story that rewards close attention.
    It's an acquired taste, but for those who appreciate its experimental
    approach, it offers a unique and thought-provoking viewing experience.

    **Rating:** 7 out of 10

    Would you like to know more about specific aspects of the story,
    such as the characters or the plot?

    At least he managed to get it right though... it's a start.

    We need more pearls of wisdom like that about Doctor Who from

    Who would that’ve been in the Tom Baker version? I can’t imagine
    Romana or K9 blundering like that.


    The Doctor does mention K-9 !

    I was asking what would’ve happened in the Tom Baker version of
    Kinda.

    Do you know? You’re the one who brought it up,


    It was supposed to be for TB originally.

    Yes. You already told us. But I’m asking how that version would’ve >differed from the version we eventually got.

    (If you don’t know, just say so and I won’t waste your time by
    asking any more.)


    So Doctor , K-9 and Romana

    vs

    Doctor, Adric and Tegan (Nyssa was sleeping)

    Now replace K-9 with Adric and Romana with Tegan.
