However, The Power of the Doctor tries to do too much at once and I just find it messy and disjointed as a result.

What a finale for the Thirteenth Doctor! I had a lot of fun with this episode, seeing Ace, Kate, and others was awesome! And seeing Doctor's 1 and 5-8 was awesome as well, and Paul McGann gets more screen time. I do agree that it's a bit all over the place in plot, but I think it works. Great visuals as well, and loved the long length. (Though MAX kept dropping the bit-rate and dropping the stream, so it was a blurry mess at some points.) I am sad this era is now over, I really enjoyed it. Now back to classic who, as I'm not much of a fan of the newer seasons sadly. whitestar1993 View profile Like Liked 4 29 October 2024 · 45 words Review by Dullish Spoilers 4 This review contains spoilers! Honestly might be one of Jodie's best episodes. Sacha Dhawan carries most of the episodes he's in, including this one as Rasputin. The return of old Doctors and companions for the centenary is a highlight Personally this could've been the 60th anniversary for Doctor Who Dullish View profile Like Liked 4 Show All Reviews (10) Open in new window Statistics AVG.
