This didn't do much for me I'm afraid. I don't feel like the ongoing plots have moved at all, and its fine to take a moment away but at least if its good it helps. I'm not a huge fan of Cass or Alex they're just kind of there for me, same as quite a few of 8's companions, and all his Time War ones in all honesty. If we have to wait until the fourth story for them to reconcile then it'll be very predictable.
