    Decent enough ep. The tone seemed a bit muddled, as they seemed to be going for a spooky vibe while simultaneously keeping the “lighthearted” mood they were pushing last episode too. Kind of threw me off. I liked the baddies, though, and I appreciate a story where the sonic or TARDIS can’t be used to just magic out a solution (except for the TARDIS Ex Machina at the end, I suppose). Also was very happy to see Wilfred! I was entirely unaware they had gotten scenes with him before he passed and was just expecting references. Overall I enjoyed it and am looking forward to next week!

    *One little minor technical nitpick - if there’s literally nothing outside the ship, and the captain wasn’t wearing a helmet, how did they decompose?

      Some anaerobic gut bacteria that happens to be able to survive vacuum? It was an alien…

        Maybe. Just seems strange!

          Probably would be seemed stranger to most people if they weren’t decomposed - they’d assume she wasn’t really dead. Best to supercede scientific accuracy for the sake of clarity.
