Odd how this series feels like a complete reboot of the previous, taking the same format for it's first two episodes exactly. Episode one, sci-fi world. Episode two, fights against actual gods in a historical setting; this time it even has the same dressing up scene. This isn't a shock, RTD always used a formula for a the beginning of a series (and it was quite similar to this one, actually), just it does feel almost like a retelling, in a way. A second attempt. This naturally invites comparison, and, to be frank, while I did like "The Devil's Chord", this is a far better exploration of the exact same concept, more akin to "The Giggle". This was, I think, the first episode of the Fifteenth Doctor's era that actually justified the budget attached to it. There's not really anything negative to say, this is just peak Who. Imaginative, unique, the kind of things that makes you want seconds. Delights me to know there's a Target novelization on the horizon (wink, wink).
