Dorney is back, with the excellent part 2 to his start of the boxset. Like in part 1, the plot is smooth, sleek and evocative. The inheritance-like subplot gets highlighted as Irving goes off the rails and gets influenced by the Angels, while the Doctor and Ray position themselves for the checkmate that Older!Seven has been working towards. There is not much more to discuss; the plot is straightforward but executed to perfection. The end was poetic and fitting, and I loved that the Older!Seven is not from after the Doctor got zapped to the past, but from even further in the future. It sets up an interesting conflict, and I cannot wait to see where it goes. Luckily there will be another 7 boxset this year.

Ray was good, very quippy, but I don't see her defining moment yet.

This play is to be experienced: it's got bling, it's got action, it's got a fast-moving plot that doesn't hold you by the hand too much. It's a classic excellent Dorney play.

The boxset is excellent too: it really feels like 7 gets hijacked and his status quo gets upended. Very effective. The final quality of this depends however on where it goes. I wonder how it will fit in with The Last Day, and while I've seen some speculation on Fenric returning, I actually hope it does something fresh (as Fenric is already the focus of 7s large MR arc's endgame).
