Okay, so I am happy to say that I really enjoyed it! I don’t love it, but I think it has a lot of good Things about it, and frankly made me stop worrying that this Season wouldn’t be for me.

The Pacing is not great but a lot smoother than last Time. I like how we actually get a short and sweet Tardis Scene with Berlinda and 15, I think those Scenes are some of my very favorites in any Episode and I must admit I find it a bit of a shame that they have been lacking lately, so here is Hope we get more of them!

The tension that is build in the opening alone is just lovely! This is how you do a great Opening! And I was really surprised how good the actual Animation here looks for the Cartoon itself. It felt very much more of a Love Letter to Cinemas than Devils Chord did to Music. Mr Ring a Ding is just a Joy! Well animated, voice acted in such a good Way (I wasn’t very well-aware of Alan Cumming as VA, but I am glad to see that he knows his Stuff with it) and just a Joy to watch throughout it. It very much felt like a mix between various Golden Age Cartoon Figures and as somebody who really loves Animation, it’s always nice to see that Research/Knowledge went into this!

Love, love how we played with Clichés, I started to roll my Eyes a bit when that one Police Man showed up, but it was actually a pretty clever Moment! Not so clever is sadly the Bits with the Fans, I will say it’s not bad, just not for me. It went on for a bit too long than I thought it was necessary, and I think it didn’t mix as well with the Episode as it could. But I must at least happy to report that I didn’t felt like it was mean-spirited, which is my biggest Worry with such a Scene. Still not particular a Fan and I think at one Point the Music was just way too loud to properly understand the Dialogue, but that Moment was short enough.

I quite liked how we were pretty much focusing mainly on our Leads, Lux and that one Projector Guy in the Cinema. While I think we could have delved a bit more into his Grief in regard to his Wife, what we got had me satisfied enough, and I really like how he came to Play in the End.

Berlinda is still impressing me as much, and I really enjoy her Chemistry with 15, so no notes on that Front. How they defeated our Villain was something I didn’t see coming, and I am not quite sure if I am sold on it, but still I enjoyed that Part.

Frankly, I think there is way too much good in this Episode to not please. Is the Fan Bit a bit too long? Yes. Do I like how they straight up tell the Doctor how to defeat Mr. Ring a Ding? No. But frankly it was an entertaining romp with some clever Bits of Meta here and there, and at the End I had a very good Time with it!
