Review of The Butcher of Brisbane by sircarolyn

30 April 2024

This episode possibly would have had more impact if I either remembered or liked Talons of Weng Chiang, but seeing as I haven't watched it in many years, I'm a little hazy on the details. That said, I still enjoyed this episode well enough.

Often with theee companions, one or more of them get under-served by the story. Here, it is Turlough's turn to take a smaller seat, but I felt the balance of story between all the characters was much better than some other episodes. And, as Tegan is my favourite, I was in no way upset by this being a good episode for her - I always like it when a companion goes home, or has some ties to their past exposed.

Overall, a decent listen while in the shop bashing on some sheet metal, but not one I think I'll revisit.
