This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: The Trials of a Time Lord


A solid introduction to Hebe. She seems like she's going to be a very unique companion. Her dynamic with 6 and Mel is already great. I love a companion who pushes back against the Doctor, especially 6. It's quite fitting that Hebe was taught by Evelyn, that was a sweet little reveal.

There's not much going in the way of plot, not that it's boring, just very simple. I love stories with really dynamic groups like this that are more about the character interactions. It reminds me of Midnight in the sense that it's a bunch of people trapped in one place and the conflicts that form regarding that.

Very interesting start, I'm curious to see how the rest of this unfolds.
