McGann and Smith give solid Performances here, and there are Things that I do like in this one, such as bringing in the Krynoids. Sadly, it doesn't offer much and feels like that Type of Story that goes in one Ear in and leaves the other pretty quickly.

It was cool getting the Krynoids back, but I don't think they were used very well. Nothing really stood out either as great either. Other than the last scene with the Doctor and Lucie. I hope the rest of the season isn't a letdown like this. 2/5 whitestar1993 View profile Like Liked 2 Open in new window Statistics AVG. Rating163 members 2.96 / 5 GoodReads AVG.
