I definitely have more good than bad things to say about this. The plot is weird and very timey-wimey, which I love. It was a bit convoluted at times and there are a couple of things left hanging in the air, which I hope will be resolved in later episodes.

The production design was gorgeous, though some shots felt very Marvel CGI heavy.

What makes this episode stand out is Belinda. She is instantly likeable and interesting, has some great moments in her first episode and the idea of a companion that right out rejects the Doctors call to adventure (and is then dragged along anyway) is insanely intriguing. My only complaint about her is that she was so incredibly relaxed about the whole situation, that it almost broke immersion. When she sits in the Robots spaceship after being abducted, she comes off more annoyed then terrified about what's happening, which isn't something any normal person would do. Loved the character beats with her instantly going into nurse mode with the rebels though. That was sweet and really endearing character writing.

No notes on Ncuti. He is just as fun to watch as always.

Overall I'd rate this as one of the stronger season openers and definitely miles ahead of Space Babies.
