I disliked this episode; it really disappointed me. Doctor Who is an escape from this world, usually, but there was no real story around aliens or time-travel… in fact, this barely felt sci-fi. The sci-fi vibes were mere undertones, in my opinion. The episode hit too real and too political–I am not against adding in real world tripe; I actually think it’s important to include… but not like this. This episode showed real evils in this actual world up front and in your face but with no positive outlook on the human race. The messages were negative and the way they portrayed UNIT made me upset. I miss the guns-are-bad messages, I miss problems being solved with cleverness and cheek and care for every being no matter what. This episode was not kind and does not reflect the show that has given me so much and that I’ve come to love with all my being… This episode was not Doctor Who.
