Face of the Apocalypse

another great nineriver story with plenty of good interactions between them! i liked the smaller cast, and the fact that it was essentially a direct sequel to the last story with the villain! got to say this is shaping up to be one of the better 9da sets.

About average fare for the 9DAs. It’s very accessible and pleasing, and I enjoyed listening but I definitely won’t remember much in a few days. 9 and River have more chemistry than River has with any classic doctor, and it’s refreshing to see 9 get a reluctant companion like River. They worked together really well in this episode, which is good, since this whole box set kinda hinges on that. Lizzie Hopley had one job and she didn’t mess it up.

I like how there’s a loose thread connection to swipe right but tbh it’s a very middling story
