About average fare for the 9DAs. It’s very accessible and pleasing, and I enjoyed listening but I definitely won’t remember much in a few days. 9 and River have more chemistry than River has with any classic doctor, and it’s refreshing to see 9 get a reluctant companion like River. They worked together really well in this episode, which is good, since this whole box set kinda hinges on that. Lizzie Hopley had one job and she didn’t mess it up.
