This was a very interesting but uneven audio.  There's parts I really like about Omega.  It feels like Davison and Collier don't get a ton of time together here but when they do it's memorable and often quite interesting.  For plot-relevant reasons there's a clear comparison drawn between the Doctor and Omega.  I feel like that aspect was done quite well.  I also like the angle of Omega's history being viewed through a historical tour.  That made for a fun setting and a very unique (but welcome) take on Time Lord society.

There's also a really cool scene that stuck with me for some reason.  A medical droid witnesses his patient being strangled.  Practically panicking, it tries to stop the altercation verbally before suspending its "Hippocratic protocols" and knocking the assailant down.  It's just some nice, clean writing that adds some colour to the world and some character to what would otherwise be a very neutral figure in the story.  Little touches like that, I think, inform the better side of Omega as an audio.  As a villain, he also gains quite a few dimensions.  His feelings around a supposed genocide he committed are very interesting, getting outright violent and angry when his girlfriend brushes aside the severity of his crimes.  Yes, it is weird Omega has a girlfriend here.  Let's get into that a bit.

Because Omega is kind of a slog.  Aside from some memorable aspects, details, and scenes in the audio, the actual, overall experience is pretty middling.  Omega has this relationship with a character named Sentia and it didn't really work for me.  I really struggled to take her character seriously and just wasn't having fun with her.  All I get from Sentia is that she's in love with Omega and acts increasingly unstable about it.  It makes for a terrible villain and a flat, undeveloped character.  Omega's also got this whole possession thing going on too, there's a murder mystery plot, and it's doing all those other things mentioned above.  The story often feels bloated and unfocused, with too many lacklustre characters and ideas getting in the way of the solid potential otherwise here.  A lot of scenes worked for meIt does hold together overall though.  There's enough sense of structure I was entertained most of the time.  It just feels like Omega could have been a lot more.

That genocide bit felt undeveloped, for example.  It turns out this was actually one of the Doctor's memories that slipped into Omega's mind.  Fine, but we learn about this last minute near the end, so all that stuff just feels like it blunts the whole point of that side of the story up until now.  Then Sentia warps herself and Omega back to the Anti-matter universe.  The status quo is returned, and I am left feeling thoroughly underwhelmed.
