A mighty bit more complex than one might expect for a story of it's kind, a reintroduction of the Kaldor androids that isn't merely content with rehashing their initial appearance, instead poignantly utilizing them to foster themes of, ultimately, fear- the synonymous robophobia, in fact. There's a good deal of gritty nuance established throughout, a cutting atmosphere that it never really lets up on. Wonderfully emblematic of the Seventh Doctor, his darker, more brooding elements played with to masterful effect. Liv Chenka (Nicola Walker) was also quite good and full of potential, albeit somewhat lost in the shuffle during the later half. Delighted to know she comes back around at some point.
Though this story is indeed quite good, it's not necessarily to my personal tastes at current. I feel it's one I'd really have to listen to in a specific mood to be able to fully appreciate. I also would have preferred if some plot elements were made a bit more prominent earlier on rather than seemingly only taking precedence later on (particularly Elicien and her music); however, I will freely admit that this is my first time listening, so perhaps some little hints simply slipped my mind at the time.
