Oh, not really. His corrected version doesn't make any sense either!

It might be interesting to do "Trial of a Time Lord" for the sake of discussing what went wrong and what could have been. The last episode was written by Pip and Jane Baker, with Robert Holmes' estate forbidding them to follow Holmes' original plan for the conclusion.

It's a legitimate pedantic point, but one undermined by your use of "their" in place of "that there are".

True, but it's an understandable mistake. That part of "The Daleks' Master Plan" was essentially a rehash of "The Chase".

Really? I cringed through the whole thing, although that was a very long time ago.

That's very interesting, and almost all news to me.

I don't think that the Kinda were guiding Hindle in any way. In fact (disagreeing with Christopher) I don't think that the Kinda drive Hindle mad in any active sense. Hindle is driven mad by his own longstanding troubles and his inability to comprehend Deva Loka.

Yes, I know. I should have stated that better. I still think there is a parallel.

I've always felt that Hindle was the most convincingly crazy character in all of DW. I was pleased to see in the DVD extras that I am not alone in this view.

The demise of the wise woman in Kinda is extremely similar to a scene in Planet of the Spiders. When K'anpo Rimpoche died, his mind simply transferred to the body of his assistant.

The box of Jhana seems to be a tool for introducing people to the Kinda way of thinking. Men are (generally) not ready for this. Hindle gets crazier and crazier until he makes the breakthrough and goes Kinda. His mental breakdown made this necessary, but it also made this possible. Only by breaking down could he be

It was always intended to be a "family" show.

The Work Song is on Love Over and Over. Perhaps you meant a previously unreleased version.
