Day 89: Death of a Spy

I suppose that I was predisposed to like The Myth Makers. It's a story that deals with time travel, as a reasonable proportion of it deals with the Greeks and Trojans discovering that the TARDIS crew is from the future, and as such, they want to receive advice about how they should act in order to secure victory. And it becomes quite the dilemna, because it is well known that the Greeks win, but they are being forced to make the Trojans win on pain of death, by telling their future. And it's this notion of time travel that's quite interesting, because for a series where time travel is an integral part of the structure, it doesn't come up as often as you'd think it would as a plot point. But now it does, and it adds a layer of suspense to the tale. Because the story of the Trojan Horse is well known, and so any dramatic tension as to what will happen is taken away, and so we need to find some other source of conflict, to allow the audience to remain interested, which is what we receive with this simple tale all about the future. And speaking of the future, it is not looking as bright for the next episode.
