A little bit of Paul McGann makes everything better, doesn't it? The Krynoid apocalypse rolls on as the Doctor awakens having put himself in deep freeze after the original colony fell a century ago. His goal is just to get back to the TARDIS to save Liv Chenka, but he does his best to help the colony. The series is still throwing so many new characters at you it's easy to suddenly lose track, but there's some great moments of horror. Eat the rich indeed. The final bomb being dropped that this time, it's the Krynoid's home world...yeah everyone is in big trouble.

Not a bad way for a botanist to go. Helping the local ecology.

Hell yeah.

I love a lot about this episode! I love that we delve a little more into the botany of it all. I love the mad, B-movie nature of the plot and imagery. I love the way the film Sunset is used throughout the story, and Reece Shearsmith's performance at the end is delightfully unhinged whilst still remaining real. I like the way Eight is woven into the plot, with his searching for Liv, and eventually going back to save her, unwittingly dooming Sunlight in the process.

Great fun. A big step up from the opener and a really enjoyable story!

This was a PHENOMENAL episode, and by a new writer nonetheless! Really enjoyed hearing the Krynoid being vicious, while the human aspect of their transformation was really at the forefront. The Doctor was great in this, he really fit in well with the characters. I love the worldbuilding they've done its really been great so far, lets just hope part 3 is as good!

It was cool to learn that this is the Krynoid's home planet too was a surprise but rather obvious in hindsight.

The Doctor just leaving though felt a bit... Especially with how it ended!! 

Gutted Shearsmith's character is killed too, hoped he'd stick around for more.
