Yet another great character piece, and MORE ANDY!!!!!

In all seriousness, really like how down to earth this story is, even with the sci-fi setting. Sure they're in the future, but they're not in the far future interacting with aliens and spaceships and sci-fi gadgets, they're in the far far future, where nothing remains on the earth. Everything is dead, and there's barely a trace of human civilisation left.

We do of course get robots and bases and that, but even the AI taking Andy's voice feels so much more grounded because of the lack of anything else around it. And then there's the character stuff, for half the cast it's their first time on an 'alien' world, and all of them react so differently to it. I love the team splitting off into pairs, letting us really get a feel for all of the cast, and split slightly differently to the pairings we've come to know and expect.

The bits we do get of those more typical pairs are great though, Andy briefly explaining the end of God Among Us to Tanya and her reaction to it is great. Honestly just everything with Andy is always great. I love how Eight just doesn't want to put up with him, I love how excitable he is about a new planet, showing off about all the things he's done, and then showing how he's still not ready for this as he starts to have a breakdown realising that humanity's gone.

Also Eight and Tanya continue to just be a lovely pair to listen to as well.
