This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.
Previous Story: The Entropy Plague
I ponder why this story even exists as Enlightenment would have been a perfectly good finale, definitely better than whatever this is. It's not that this is boring, it's just that nothing really happens? It feels like a really pointless adventure and it's too short to say it drags on. Despite that it really is just a waste of time.
It's a bit of a shame because I liked all the set-up in the first part, and I feel like if they were forced to stretch it out into a four-parter they might have ended up doing something more interesting with the characters. Instead you get a few Doctor/Master interactions and the introduction of, uhh... Kamelion. I have no opinions of him as of yet and I find that unlikely to change.
All in all, I'm more baffled by this story's existence. I'm sure there's a behind-the-scenes reason for why this had to be made and why it was crammed at the end of Season 20 but I care so little for this story that I can't be bothered to look it up. Definitely recommend if you have around 50 minutes to spare and have exhausted literally every last possibility of what else you could do.
