'The Sontaran Stratagem' and 'The Poison Sky'

Robert Holmes loved the double-act so I can't speak of these episodes separately.

Grand sci/fi action-adventure! HAVOC would have been proud of the action.

Scope showing the danger at small and grand levels! Wooo!

And U.N.I.T.s name is different! 'Greyhound Leader to Trap One'! Did she just call Yates? And the Brigader is in Peru! And Knighted!

*does little happy dance*

Everything here fits together. It takes small little continuity points from the Sontaran stories of the past and builds them into a new story. It worked so well. It was what it was supposed to be.

-Compare/Contrast-

I couldn't have the Rutans show up without mentioning the Sontarans. They couldn't have the Sontarans show up without mentioning the Rutans. Still a Holmesian double-act! Wonderful!
