Honestly, this was bit.. meh.

Not a bad Story and there is a lot of fun to be had. Teaming up Hound's Monk and Tom is great and it works really well. Tom as well is top-notch here and brings his usual charming Energy. That said, I really find a hard time remembering much of the Plot, which is a bit uninspiring. And some Characters and their Part in the Story feel a bit unnecessary and just done "for the sake of it", SJ is a good Example for it. Especially considering this SJ is one that JUST left the Doctor. There isn't a really meaning Moment with her and the Doctor and she feels like a total Afterthought, sadly.

Having Kate and Osgood was fun, and I like them fine enough here. And there are certainly some solid Things to be found here, I really enjoyed the whole Degeneration Scene and as a Concept it's fun. Sure, this one is just an "Intro" Story for this entire Range but highlights already some Problems.

Of course there are Stories that have plenty of Characters return, some of which don't make THAT much sense, but work quite well for me, because there is at least either something offered or a certain fun Factor. Of course, you could argue there is a Fun Factor to be had here as well, but for me, it falls quite flat.
