Honestly my favorite episode of the set, and that’s just because things started to take a lot greater shape. After Kippers I wasn’t sure where this arc was leading at all, but it’s very clear with the way this episode ends. Ideally the next box set will be a three parter wrapping things up and featuring a showdown between the Doctor and the big bad.

I really adore how they use Jamie and Zoe here. This is maybe the first time I’ve seen them reflect on their travels with the Doctor critically, and it’s a new angle I would not have expected to see. It really gives the adventure a lot more emotional stakes that I felt were missing previously.
