Thworping through time and space, one adventure at a time!

NOTES & COMMENTS:

Al Ewing returns to write, and the Doctor takes Alice to her first space station to hopefully solve the mystery of the puzzling SERVEYOUinc organisation.

This feels like one of those Classic Who serials set in a space station, led by a useless base leader, where the crew members die one by one, killed by an unknown alien assailant.

I appreciate how this story takes time to discuss the nature of travelling with the Doctor and being his companion, as Alice wants to return home to catch up on her life.

The art style here is quite traditional and cosy. I like it.

This story feels longer than previous chapters because it gives everything more room to breathe.

Alice gets some deeper character development while the Doctor goes off investigating the murders. However, the majority of this is characterised by a gradual build-up, with minimal noteworthy events occurring.

I find Jones very annoying, and I don't understand why he had to carry over from What He Wants to this story. It's not like Alice couldn't keep being the sole companion.

What a great cliffhanger reveal!
