The slitheen return for what basically amounts to a filler episode. Although, as far as fillers go, this one is fairly enjoyable.
The episode successfully humanizes the slitheen although the premise of her receiving the death penalty as a moral conundrum seemed a little weak to me. Partly cause I personally don't see it as a conundrum and partly cause the Doctor has literally sentenced entire planets to death or worse, although I guess the audience doesn't know this yet. Even so, some interesting arguments are raised while she tries to negotiate with the Doctor.
The episode is still a fun revenge romp punctuated with some good dramatic moments between Rose and Mickey, which has become a rather tragic relationship, really. The drama was good, the humor was entertaining (fart jokes kept to a minimum, thank goodness) but unfortunately nothing particularly fantastic either. 7/10
