On Kastria, Eldrad must reach the regenerative chamber, but obstacles have been placed in their way.
The conclusion of Eldrad's story was fairly disappointing I thought, it needed to be more complex, it was just a bit silly. The highlight of this episode though is Sarah Jane's departure, for many, the ultimate companion, she deserved a good send off, and she got one.
It has the feeling of being the end of one of the best eras in the show's history. Tom has been marvellous as always, and here he's so much the character of The Doctor, no sentimental goodbyes, he sees things differently to us mere humans. This is something that didn't translate well in new Who.
It has a vibe of Death to The Daleks about it, a shadowy figure sat watching events.
Eldrad is an interesting figure, we perhaps needed to learn a little bit more, guilty of genocide? For me, Eldrad was great in the form of Judith Paris, but very poor in the form of Stephen Thorne, that subtlety, and lack of obvious villainy has all gone, sometimes gender swaps don't work. He somehow feels so primitive, so simple.
I think the sets look pretty great. Production values have been pretty great throughout.
Farewell Sarah Jane, she had a nice send off, but deserved a better story. 7/10.
