Previous Story: The Wreck of the Titan


An excellent finale to this short set of stories. This really does feel like the third act of a blockbuster film in all the best ways. It's such an epic story and you can really feel the stakes. I thought Cybermen invading the Land of Fiction would be a stupid idea at first but it really does work surprisingly well. While this story doesn't capture the eerieness of The Mind Robber it brings it's own unique spin to the Land of Fiction.

It's great to hear Jamie and Zoe back together and Colin Baker blends in quite seamlessly into their dynamic. I love the inclusion of all the fictional characters and settings and the way they all blend together is really fun. All the questions and mysteries about this arc are answered satisfyingly and it does end on a bit of a bittersweet note.

Overall, a good end to a strange but very enjoyable little arc.
