Once again, the messaging and theming is FANTASTIC. This story really highlights the pointlessness of conscription, as well as war in general. The ways this story communicates its themes are very very well executed.

A+.

This was really good, I don't get the low reviews. The Doctor confronting the timelords for their chauvinist ways, not giving a care for the rest of the universe or their own soldiers, just their war. He ends up causing riots in the army itself. Plus the speech towards the end is amazing, and the cliffhanger really cool too.
