There should be a warning before this episode for Indigenous Australians who could be watching, as it's against their beliefs to view material containing dead Aboriginals. I don't know whether the ones shown in the episode are still alive or not, but still.

"Much like with Castrovalva, Adric is seen apparently siding with the main enemy of the story; in this case by telling Monarch invaluable information about the Doctor, the Time Lords and the TARDIS.

Even if the subject is lead-worthy (I personally don't think it is but, on the other hand, the lead looks pretty bland without it), it is pretty misleading. From what I can recall of Castrovalva, Adric was captured by the Master and was being forced against his will. I don't think it is even implied in that story that Adric is "siding with the main enemy". | |||

Lead paragraphs
I am just wondering peoples' opinions on if the following paragraph should be changed or removed:
"Much like with Castrovalva, Adric is seen apparently siding with the main enemy of the story; in this case by telling Monarch invaluable information about the Doctor, the Time Lords and the TARDIS. At first, it seemed like a straightforward betrayal, but Adric had in fact been tricked into thinking Monarch was harmless to them; he later saw the error of his ways."
Even if the subject is lead-worthy (I personally don't think it is but, on the other hand, the lead looks pretty bland without it), it is pretty misleading. From what I can recall of Castrovalva, Adric was captured by the Master and was being forced against his will. I don't think it is even implied in that story that Adric is "siding with the main enemy".
What does everybody else think?
