S01E06: 'Warriors of Kudlak' Part Two

The concluding part of the 'Warriors of Kudlak' doesn't quite harness the strong premise to its full potential, combining some fairly sterile action scenes with some unexpected emotion.

The surprise twist in the characterisation of General Kudlak was well conveyed, as he turned out to be waging war in a bid for peace. Hmm, I wonder what current global situation that can be alluding to! The scene between the wonderfully realised 'monster' Kudlak and Sarah Jane at the end, where the former begged her to kill him, packed a powerful dramatic punch. Maria also delivered a touching speech in which she delivered a child's perspective on the way adults are ruining the world through their fighting.

The sets of the spaceship were impressively lit, but there was a bit too much aimless running around at the beginning, as the narrative started to meander.

Overall though, another sturdy outing for the Sarah Jane Adventures.
