Wrapup – The Keys of Marinus
And so, we’ve come to the end of another story, Terry Nation’s “The Keys of Marinus.” A long-time favorite of Ketina’s and a sentimental favorite of mine, neither of us had seen it in years. Of course, we were both used to seeing it slightly out of context, immediately after “Inside the Spaceship,” without “Marco Polo” between the two stories. Seeing (sort of) the lost historical did, I think, change how we viewed “Keys,” far beyond understanding the continuity of Ian’s Chinese jacket (or, as Schmallturm would have it, the “flaming chicken” jacket). The episodic nature, which worked so well in the absence of “Polo,” causes “Keys” to pale a bit, with very little development shown in any of the mini-stories within the whole. Even the murder mystery (the most developed by far) was a bit thin.
