  • I was enjoying this one quite a bit early on, but it turns into a bit of a slog as it goes.

  • I'm a big advocate of the restoration of Gallifrey, but...yeesh. Less is more.

  • A lot of the energy is sucked out of the story by the layering of pointless mysteries. Does it matter if Omega's identity is revealed much, much sooner? Not really. Ditto for "who's the traitor on the High Council?" But I suppose they have a runtime to fill.

  • It's amusing to watch Colin Baker run around trying to hasten the Doctor's regeneration. Conflict of interest!

  • Omega has a TARDIS now? Okay...

  • Omega (that's OH-meguh) has a rather more subdued personality this time around, which is kind of a shame. A little eccentricity might have spiced things up a bit.

  • The Ergon, described as one of Omega's less successful attempts at psychosynthesis, looks kind of familiar...

The Ergon, a bird-like creature that appears to be made of bone, not unlike the bone palace and giant creatures seen in "Wish World".

The Ergon

Oh snap! I felt the same as you about "AoI", and I'd completely forgotten about Omega's own bone bird. Good catch!
