A Few Notes:
- Please no spoilers beyond this episode unless you see that later episodes have already been released. In that case, no spoilers beyond those episodes.
- This reaction is in a watch-along format. This means you'll need your own copy of the episode to watch alongside my reaction. This is in an effort to avoid copyright infringement.
- If you're based in the UK (or using a UK streaming site), here are instructions for how to get your copy to sync with mine.
- The show footage will play for the first 30 seconds with both video and audio. After that, the show footage will be silenced, and the video will be blurred for the remainder of the episode. There is also a count-up timer that begins once the episode has started. These things will hopefully make it easier for you to keep your copy of the episode synced with mine.

Comments
The War Games' is my personal favourite classic Who story. One of the many great things about this story is how well it keeps the viewer engaged by answering certain questions, but concealing other details at the same time. It also does a great job of constantly expanding the scope of the story by adding more and more on top of what was already there. It gives the story a great sense of forward momentum and that it's leading up to something huge. The way the plot unravels and the mysteries reveal themselves is absolutely spectacular! Honestly, it's amazing how well written this story is. Considering its ten parts long, it never feels slow or boring. It uses the ten part running time to the fullest extent; it’s filled to the brim. Quite easily my favourite classic Who story and that's saying a lot because classic Who has so many amazing stories. 'The War Games' is head and shoulders above them all though.
