I feel a bit deflated after finishing Dark Eyes 4. Dark Eyes 1 & 2 pointed towards something rather exciting that 3 & 4 ultimately did not deliver for me. I'm now in two minds as to whether I should press on with Doom Coalition or just skip to the frothy and more fun looking Stranded. There was plenty to like but no episode was an out and out classic (every set before now had classics). Overall I'd give DE4 6/10.
In this final part, given that their hand was forced and they needed to recast Molly, having a much older version narratively works, but she needed to have a whole episode to herself to bed the new actor in. Having her handle such an epic finale after having been introduced only the episode before makes the ending feel cheap. The rehabilitation planet as a Dalek cover story is an interesting conceit (even if these kinds of future spar/ care locations have been done in DW quite a bit now). The ending ends up being a lot of swelling music with no real heart.
