New Who Review #140

Empress of Mars

This story was really good. I went into this expecting to not like it because I don't really like the Ice Warriors but this was a pleasant surprise when I found myself enjoying all of it. Seeing Victorian soldiers on Mars was interesting and having a battle between them was really good entertainment. I like how the Ice Warrior queen Iraxa chose mercy on the Soldiers once she realised they were all being let down by one of the soldiers. Having Missy in this right at the end was nice and it's a good progression on how she's turning good. Not having Nardole in this was a nice break from him as he's going to be in all the episodes going forward this series. Overall a really really good Ice Warrior story that I thoroughly enjoyed. 10/10
