I really enjoyed the glimpse into Time Lord culture and politics. The bird people were fun. But, most especially, I liked the characterization is Nyssa!

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: The Game

Very fun little story that goes into detail about the Time Lords. I really enjoy the insight this story gives into how the Doctor is viewed by the general Time Lord population. It's nice to see a perspective that isn't the High Council's.  Zero is a very interesting character, he lives up to the Prydonian reputation established by the Doctor at the beginning of this story. His whole scheme is very silly and yet very clever at the same time.

I'm unsure of my opinion on the short, 30 minute style of story. On one hand, it skips most of the boring "capture and re-capture" stuff that nearly every Doctor Who story goes through but it lacks the worldbuilding and general fleshed-outness of most stories and their settings.
