Review of The Union by Five_Hundredth_Drax

20 May 2024

I had fingers crossed after miserable *Time Lord Immemorial*... AND THIS SURPASSED ALL MY EXPECTATIONS!!
First of all, I recently listened to the 8DAs, and it was nice to hear Susan again after such a sad note. God I love this character.
I know that River is the Doctor's wife, but I hated when in some of the episodes she was there just for the flirting jokes. Yet here she is greatly written and helps to move the story forward.
Paul McGann is amazing as the Doctor - Eighth is so good. And all the other Doctors here got time to shine, even some who I wasn't expecting at all.
The Union's reveal was good. I predicted it, but it was good. Maureen O'Brien was good as the Union.
The one was a great surprise for me. Probably my favourite part is when one characters shows up and makes the story go full circle.
And the plot itself actually makes sense, so this one didn't feel disjointed with other crucial parts of this anthology.
I'm excited for Coda.
