This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.
Previous Story: Bedtime Story
I'll start with the positives. I enjoy the exploration of how the Doctor views his other incarnations, it's very interesting. I also quite liked the plot with the sentient virus, it felt like a real threat. I don't quite understand why the Doctor had to visit his future selves though, surely it they were the ones who contracted it originally then 6 wouldn't be the one dealing with it. I also like how this story makes you question how far the Doctor is willing to go, for a moment I genuinely believed he was going to kill his assassin. I do prefer the actual resolution though.
Now I'll talk about the not-so-great bit. This is supposed to a celebration of a hundred Big Finish releases but they couldn't even get the other actors involved. It means we only "see" the other Doctors from a distance with the Doctor and Evelyn describing them. It's a bit of a Big Finish victory lap but without any of the other Doctor actors it just feels incomplete. It sums up how I feel about this whole release though, just disappointed.
