A great story to start off the boxset. Reminding us of what's happened, answering some questions, and being a great character drama!
I took a brief break before coming back to this final boxset, and was initially worried that I wouldn't remember everything that'd happened leading up to it. Luckily for me, it seems the writers were prepared for that. An amnesiac Eleven having Valarie and Hendricks performing a legal battle over who's in the right is a brilliant way to not only get some incredible character drama out there, but to recap the events of the previous three sets as well.
I've said before that some of my favourite parts of these sets is when the characters can stop for a minute and just talk about what's happened, and while we don't get as much a chance for that at the end of this story after the twist reveal, everything that's leading up to that is just characters talking and it's really really good.
And on the topic of that twist reveal, I love it. A Dalek-TARDIS created for infiltration during the Time War, wanting to destroy the daleks for everything that they've done. Tying together both Eleven's Time War arc, and Clara arc (though the events of Asylum of the Daleks). It's all just so clean and works incredibly. Plus I love the timey-wimeyness of the twist as well. The fact that Tim hasn't yet given Hendricks the virus yet, but responded to her because she knew him already is just an nice little touch that just adds that extra touch of Moffat to this series which I really appreciate here.
Overall, a strong start to the final set of an incredible series.
