The question on most fans lips, would the show get back to a place where it United fans, rather than divided them. Could this two part, Bond inspired caper win some fans back?
The beginning felt like a carbon copy of Resolution, I'd argue that was perhaps not such a bad thing.
Stephen Fry's mistaking Graham for The Doctor... a minor irritation for many I would imagine.
The visuals, fantastic, I wonder how much of the series budget went in this episode? It looked terrific, very lavish, with fantastic location work and great CGI.
I loved the alien threat, the best thing about this story, they were menacing, sinister, and looked really rather good. The fact that this is a two part story has allowed them time to develop.
Jodie..... I'm still not sure she's had a script with moments to give her that scene that defines her character. That moment wasn't here, her appearance was hugely improved by the evening dress though. Lenny Henry was excellent. Loved Sacha Dhawan.
Overall, they threw the kitchen sink at us, they perhaps offered up too much, car chases, aeroplane getaways etc, they kept the knockout punch til the end, I was not expecting such a big revelation here, loved it though. All in all though, I really liked it. 7/10
