I was really excited to see a far future sci-fi adventure but unfortunately the episode left me quite disappointed by the end.
I think it started off great, very tense and while some things were obvious even that early on it didn't hurt the episode.
Imo it did fall apart in the last act though.
Tap for spoiler
After it was revealed how the monster works it all became extremely formulaic and predictable. I was easily able to predict every single twist after that. Obviously someone's going to override the captain's authority and get half the crew killed. Unsurprisingly the monster doesn't kill the host for some reason. To no one's surprise it latches on to the companion so the doctor now really has to solve this problem. But as always when he can't someone else sacrifices themselves.Oh no, you're telling me jumping into the well the monster seemingly floated out of unassisted from earlier didn't kill it?
Wait, it made it to the ship? I'm shocked! Nice detail with the airlock screen showing more people than could be seen in it though.
I'd be surprised if the old lady stalking them wasn't the monster from this episode.
