Hardly the most interesting story you could come up with for the Fourteenth Doctor, in rare form this short forms a two-parter with the follow up which is hardly any better but it at least is more interesting and has a thematic tie-in with the Fourteenth Doctor having David Tennant's face. 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.

Interesting little story feels like a book version of a classic series 2 parter with a modern doctor that’s at least how it reads to me idk bout anyone else

(Reviewing Under Control/Into Control together):

Pretty unremarkable short story. It ties a little bit into the Fourteenth Doctor stories, but that's really the only interesting thing about it.

C. Maybe D.
