This one just hit different. The dialog is incredible, and the characters are all captivating. Just an immaculate tone. Incredible all around.

Underwhelming, for such a wonderful premise of Krynoids from their first story, which was truly a classic, this doesn't deliver. Krynoids are such a wonderfully unique, and brilliant idea, which aren't utilised nearly as well in this story - they did not feel anywhere near as menacing or developed here.

Some interesting ideas aside, this is a little disappointing.

While by no means a bad Audio, this is just feels a bit too forgettable for my liking. 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.

Kind of a letdown after the great series opener. 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
