This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: Unregenerate!

I'm gonna be honest, I'm not sure I get what everyone likes in this story. It's a cool concept, but beyond that it's really not much. McCoy gets to be delightfully cold and brooding here but almost too much. There's a lot of really edgy lines about how the Doctor has killed before and enjoyed it and it's just not my cup of tea.

It's also just a bit boring, there's a lot of repetitive cliffhangers and the whole story is full of people saying "red" over and over. I'm sure that on TV this would've been coupled with a cool visual but on audio it really just sounds like people saying the same word over and over. There's no flair or anything and it gets really stale really quickly.

I wanted to like this one and I'm sure there's a lot to like but it really isn't my thing.
