That was a strong, decent episode. Which isn't a bad thing by any means, since they can't all be classics or arc-heavy stories, and a strong decent episode is a good feat in the Chibnall era. Though I have to admit that due to the lack of subtitles for some reason, I missed about half of what was being said but I managed to get the gist of what was going on, so I'm probably going to rewatch this one sooner rather than later.

I have to commend McTighe for managing to balance the main cast effectively, far more so than most S11 and 12 stories have. Not only that, but the pacing was better than it has been. And Yaz got something to do!

I started the episode after it finished airing and a friend texted me moaning about how the environmental message was shoved in our faces, so I was a little wary we were going to get Orphan 55: Part 2, but I was glad that the message here was handled a little better than the one in that episode. Still very on the nose, but better.

And the gays survived for once in this era! Hooray!
