Entertertaining enough
This episode is a pretty fun one i'd say, I'd say it's up there on the top of 13's run but that doesn't really say anything with how the show has been going thus far. This episode is definitely not without its flaws and it sure does have them. The inclusion of old timer characters and monsters definitely felt a bit fan servicey but despite that, I personally still appreciated it and made this special feel a bit more like part of the new who series that the previous seasons of Chibnall failed to do so (seeming as if it's an entirely different show now and not like when moffat took over, sure the show changed but it didn't feel like a whole different tv series). The daleks actually invoked some fear as they have shown and talked about the mass production of them throughout the episode that it makes their threat pretty conceivable to the audience. Dialouge still leaves something to be desired and felt a bit lackluster. The goodbye for the 2 companions were not as emotional as i think the writers had in mind but is still okay enough and had their arcs tied up as can be. Overall, Id rate this episode a 7/10 but rated it an 8 just to tip the ratings a bit
