I really enjoyed this one overall.  It's delightfully fun and The Trouble with Drax understands it is a bemusing heist story, which it plays into well.  Ray Brooks as Drax kind of steals the show here.  I certainly saw a few of the twists coming as we went along, as, after a while I could kind of see what writer John Dorney was going for, but I still thoroughly enjoyed every step of that journey.  I would absolutely recommend this one and it feels right on the level of a top-tier, "Doctor and Romana II with Douglas Adams as script supervisor era" Doctor Who story.  You can't do much better than that!

And this one immediately wins the record of timiest-wimiest story off The Paradox Planet two parter.

This story took me for a wild ride, the first twist, of there being two Draxes was surprising and I thought, how cool, a multi-Drax story. Little did I know how correct I was.

Every single time they revealed that there was another Drax, I was shocked. After the first few, I should have just expected it but somehow I didn't believe that they would have the balls to make every character Drax. I believed wrong.

I'm not sure I'll ever fully understand what happened in this story, but one thing I know for certain is that it was really really good. It makes me want a Drax miniseries, with him getting up to all sorts of temporal cons and schemes.
