This opener is really just one buildup scene with the Doctor running from room to room seeing a bunch of different aliens being tortured in order to keep a spaceship running.

It ties a little bit into the Fourteenth Doctor stories, but that's really the only interesting thing about it. C. Maybe D. Azurillkirby View profile Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
