Review of Absolution by WhoTheoryYT

I feel like Charley was heavily mischaracterised at the beginning when she carelessly opened the Absolver when C'rizz clearly didn't want her too, and I found it really odd how A), the Utermisans just happened to choose C'rizz of all people to Absolve their people, this having never been previously hinted at in any way, and B) that the Doctor seemingly knew this but had never brought it up prior. I also really disliked the Doctor's seeming complete lack of care that C'rizz was dead, which I also thought was very out of character for any version of the doctor, but especially this one. Despite the very hard to follow, poorly paced plot, I did think that final scene with Charley redeemed it a bit (that scene broke me) and I'm looking forward to the next story following on from that.
