I'm impressed with how long the story commits to the idea that the Tenth Doctor has regenerated into a Gemma Whelan incarnation. Obviously, this isn't the case, as we got Matt Smith after David Tennant on TV, but the story makes you wonder for a while whether this is somehow a legitimate incarnation. The reveal is teased well throughout, with the Tenth Doctor breaking through to Anya Kingdom from the future. When the twist comes that Gemma Whelan is actually the Monk, it feels extremely satisfying, because of the hints in the first two parts of Dalek Universe which suddenly make sense when her identity is confirmed. Gemma Whelan makes for an excellent Monk, and bounces off David Tennant extremely well. The latter half of the story, with time collapsing on itself, reminded me a lot of The Wedding Of River Song. It has the same concept of elements from past time periods emerging into a future time, with prehistoric animals and cavemen roaming the streets. In my view, it handles it better than The Wedding Of River Song, as it feels much more coherent, and less of an unruly mess.

Без ТАРДИС и без понятия, что происходит, Доктору теперь предстоит разобраться с тем, кто вырвал его из своего времени и зачем. Начало у этой арки очень мощное. Тут же вклиниваемся в настоящий ньюскульный экшн. Готов похвалить несколько любопытных решений касаемо времени. Тут даже возвращается один классический персонаж, чьё появление я себе, к сожалению, давным давно проспойлерил. Я не скажу кто это, но скажу, что Джемма Уилан её шикарно сыграла, и было приятно услышать этого персонажа вместе с ньюскульным Доктором. Есть правда пара вопросов к тому, что Доктор там делает, учитывая, что действие происходит до Войны Времени, но это уже работы для канонных сварщиков. Начало очень мощное, мне дико нравится динамика Десятого, Ани и Марка Семь. Не терпится послушать дальше. Правда, скажу ещё, что эта арка пиарилась как самостоятельная, для новых слушателей, но в этих первух двух эпизодах активно упоминаются события "Генерального плана Синдиката", вплоть до того, что целые сюжетные ходы напрямую связаны, так что не сказал бы, что это хорошее начало для новичков. "The Universe is Distant" "Buy Time"/"Not That Woman" The Doctor finds himself in the midst of a spaceship full of corpses, and is immediately taken into custody by an old acquaintance - Ana Kingdom! Without the TARDIS and clueless about what is happening, the Doctor now has to figure out who pulled him out of his time and why. The beginning of this arc is very powerful. We immediately engage in some genuine new-school action. I am ready to praise several interesting decisions regarding time. Even a classic character returns here, whose appearance I unfortunately spoiled for myself a long time ago. I won't say who it is, but I will say that Gemma Whelan played her brilliantly, and it was nice to hear this character alongside the new-school Doctor. However, there are a couple of questions about what the Doctor is doing there, given that the action takes place before the Time War, but that's a job for the canonical welders. The start is very powerful, I absolutely love the dynamics between the Tenth, Ana, and Mark Seven. Can't wait to listen to more. However, I must add that this arc was promoted as standalone, for new listeners, but these first two episodes actively mention the events of "The Syndicate Master Plan", right up to the point that entire plot lines are directly connected, so I wouldn't say it's a good start for newcomers.
