This seems to have been the trend for Series 11 for me, over the years I've read/heard how poorly rated and viewed this season is, yet I've loved pretty much every episode I've watched of it. That's not too say I think it's amazing, (would probably pick any other NuWho season, except for 2, over it,) but I still had fun watching it.

Now to the finale, I thought it was decent. It does have some big "grand" finale elements to it, but it certainly could have benefited from a few more drafts. That being said, I liked the Dune/Star Wars vibes, and the Ox (?) were a pretty interesting alien race.

Top-notch visuals as always from this season. Though I wish Max didn't crop the show to 16:9, I'd like to see the whole picture as it was originally intended.

Fortunately not half the flimsy, discordant, incomprehensible mess that I’d previously thought. Obviously I never bothered to rewatch this after the initial broadcast, and I liked it more in retrospect. I’ve been really enjoying Graham’s arc this season, and I’m actually a big fan of how it’s concluded here. Walsh’s performance is mainly what sells it.

Is the episode good? No, but like it’s far from the worst that this season or the show has to offer. It still features an uncomfortably stilted and in charismatic lead performance. This is Chris’s best season finale unfortunately. 13’s era is by far the one I make the most comparisons to the classic era. This time I found myself constantly reminded of Time and the Rani. Make of that what you will.
