As a story itself, for a prequel short, I think it is quite strong. The Coup is all about UNIT sort of changing over some power, and ends up being this being summary statement on the organization itself with a bit of a hopeful message to it. The Brigadier's performance definitely carries this audio, but he carries it well and I quite enjoyed what I got. You just can't go in expecting the world out of this story. I, personally, had quite a good time with it. dema1020 View profile Like Liked 1 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
