I always remember this one as a bit of a clunker, but in this relisten I noticed that this play actually has a lot going for it. The worldbuilding is pretty great, Sophie is pretty great and the many time periods on offer keep the play fresh. I will say that the voice of the main villain was a bit of a mistake, got massive gollum vibes from that one.

But really, this one is a far better opener than Blood of the Daleks.

Pretty mediocre episode would’ve been perfectly fine but to understand the aliens voice i had to turn the sound up to level where everyone else’s voices hurt my ears, the whole thing gave me a headache lmao. Some interesting ideas that weren’t that developed, still it seems like they’ll come back to this at some point.

overall eh
