Rated based on all other Fifteenth Doctor episodes

Characters: Yeahhhh I really couldn't feel for them, everyone seemed sort of one dimensional and standard. You've got the military type who takes control, causes issues then dies and the character who tries to be a companion-like character than dies. The Doctor seemed much more in character this episode than the past few.

I didn't really feel for the survivor who spoke sign language, not sure why just weren't feeling it.

Costume & Set: Not much to say, kinda unbelievable the TARDIS had the exact outfits they'd need but you could chalk that up to some sort of outfit period appropriate wardrobe mechanism circuit the TARDIS has, or some other techno babble. Cool set, but again, not much to say.

Story: Hey! Use of psychic paper! Is that the first use of the Fifteenth Doctor or am I forgetting something? Whatever. Not really many comments for this part of the episode. I will say the shadow figure behind the survivor actually scared me, I had goosebumps for a majority of the episode.

Now for the part everyone's talking about; It being a sequel to Midnight, unfortunately, I went into this episode having seen that theory and was really convinced. Unfortunately, I hated it, in my opinion it was unnecessary because... the entity acts nothing like the Midnight entity and I do get that it's meant to have evolved but - What's the point of making it the same entity if it's evolved and acts nothing like the Midnight entity?

I still like it but it really didn't need to be a sequel to Midnight. Ignoring that, the scene where The Doctor realises is actually really good. Some pacing issues with the girl who sacrificed herself, I expected her and The Doctor to talk a little but whatever, not a huge issue. Ms. Flood's appearance once more, oh right, and the fact Earth has been erased post 2025, very very interesting! Earth and humanity are extremely important to... everything so I'm wondering how this changes things.

And finally the classic horror movie twist, the killer is alive! I thought that may happen. Very unfortunate, how long ago was Midnight? 17 years ago. Right, okay. See you guys in 17 years for part 3? /hj

Comparison: Solid episode. Probably one of, if not they, best Fifteenth Doctor episode.
