This is a real good one: pretty good pacing, pretty good visuals, pretty good score. It's the total package!
-
Lousy title, though.

Apparently, Beatles music was cheaper in the 80s.

The little girl who gets plugged into the Dalek machine is great. She's got my vote for next Davros.

The Hand of Omega (that's OH-migga, mind you) macguffin is pretty deftly handled. It's a piece of machinery Omega used when he created the power source. No need for an overly long explanation of....gestures at the other two serials.

The Doctor hid the Hand of Omega on Earth in 1963, and guarded it for less than a month before taking off for several lifetimes. That...tracks.

That Mike fellow is a handsome twerp.

"I never really wanted to hurt anybody. It's just you have to protect your own, keep the outsiders out just that your own people can have a fair chance." Jeeze, when did Doctor Who get so woke?

The Doctor waffles a lot on the Dalek-killing issue. Mostly, he seems fine with it as long as he's the one pulling the trigger.

Skaro has been destroyed! We shall never see it again!
The folks at Winnipeg Sports Talk had a somewhat (okay, much) more cynical take, largely based on the fact that Maurice has participated in handshake lines as recently as last year, is known for being good in front of the media, and managed to talk about how this is all about the players for a solid two minutes.
Their take, not mine. I've got a lot of affection for PoMo, but admittedly that is precisely because he's so good in front of a microphone.
