Well written and Jacob Dudman’s 9th Doctor is pretty solid, but otherwise a relatively dull story.

These aren’t the two incarnations that I would have put together, but I enjoyed this a lot, nonetheless.

Honestly, thought this was great. I love it when the Doctor truly feels like he loves humanity, and this episode manages to capture not only that, but why he struggles to trust us at the same time. The story could do with some trimming (no pun intended), but was ultimately a blast to watch, incredibly creative, and has plenty of fun surprises along the way.

Nothing super substantial, but does add a nice bit of background for Omo and the Doctor's relationship.

Great premise, using a Cyberman in the middle of filming Metropolis (1927) is cool as hell, and the 9th Doctor’s empathetic side is always nice to see. But all in all, the story is somewhat generic and doesn’t go anywhere interesting.

It’s cool to see some of the Doctor and River’s history that was hinted at in the show, but I still dislike River’s personality enough to make an hour with her feel like forever.

This is 175 minutes of the Doctor slowly coming to realise things that we (as an audience) have already known for ages.

Just a bit of fluff innit?

Pretty entertaining for the most part and it’s nice to see how older incarnations interact with the more “dashing” 8th Doctor, but the entire concept is fundamentally flawed.

Probably not the best idea for the first story in the EDAs to be largely focused on completely different characters that come and go every few chapters.

Interesting setting and ideas, but can’t help but feel that 9 is a little out of character here and primitives assuming he’s a demon is a trope I’m pretty tired of.
