Rani still facing an inferiority complex due to feeling like a Maria replacement could feel like retreading old ground but it actually works here in a way that similar themes felt drawn out with Martha / Rose. The fact that the character in question is a child and has had plenty of character moments of their own helps sell it. K-9 is back - which is a major boon. But that’s about it for the positives. This story had too many false endings and muddled character motivations. Too many things happened “just because”. 15thDoctor View profile Like Liked 1 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
