Planet of Evil (Four, Sarah Jane)

Interesting. So you've got a group of people trying to mine a planet, but unlike the people in 42, they know the planet's alive and is trying to hide materials from them.
Sarah Jane: "You always get rude when you try to cover up a mistake." *snickers*
And I immediately can tell that theirs is a bureaucratic society. They undoubtedly fired both their clothing designer and the designer of their fleet's ships' bridges, but, you know, they paid for it and so they'll be using them for the next 100 years.

At least they've eliminated the potential for railing kills.
Sara Jane doesn't have her own TARDIS key? Huh. Well, I guess she did have her own place that she usually went back to at night, TARDIS willing.

Doctor: All right you can borrow it, but no changing the radio station.
And the monster that's been killing everyone this time is...neon squiggles! The Doctor may have met his match this time...

Ah, so it's an antimatter creature. Or...something that lives between matter and antimatter? Not quite sure. It glows though!
And the Doctor falls into another universe. *wonders if there are Zeppelins there* Nope, just lots of floating, and it's mildly difficult to get out of unless you have a lot of upper body strength.
The neon creature has turned a scientist into a werewolf or something. Maybe it's an antimatter werewolf? Or maybe he just needs a bath. "BEHOLD MY POWERS TO MAKE PEOPLE DIRTY! AND A LITTLE BIT MORE HAIRY!"
And once they return the stuff they took from the planet, things are ducky again. This really wasn't a favorite episode for me. I found it a bit boring at times – some cheese, but not enough cheese to keep me entertained through the whole thing. And most of the plot is propelled by a character (not the were~~wolf~~matter) whose actions are laughably dickish, and as a result creates all the problems. I can ignore character motivation being contrived up to a certain point for the sake of entertainment. This was past that point.
