Tegan’s only been back aboard the for a heartbeat and already she’s getting possessed by the Mara again! Yes, the Mara, the serpentine entity from Season 19’s Kinda, is the returning element in Snakedance, one of Doctor Who’s most overlooked stories.
Tegan gets possessed by the Mara again
We begin our newest adventure with Nyssa trying to flirt with Dr Who. Everybody thinks that companions having crushes on the Doctor is a 21st century thing, but here it’s heavily suggested that Nyssa is desperate for the Doctor’s attentions. “Well?” she demands, showing off her latest and truly awful outfit.
The Doctor doesn’t notice her apparel at all, in perfectly Doctorish fashion, and completely misses the fact she’s literally pushing herself in front of him, squeezing between him and his TARDIS controls.
Who knew that Nyssa had a thing for the Doctor? It’s not surprising though, and actually quite refreshing, although I do realise that no such thing was intended by the production team at the time.
