For the obligatory new-companion's-first-trip-in-the-TARDIS, we get a kind of boring tale. I thought Amy Pond's first trip to the Beast Below was bad, but this is even more uninteresting. Rose's first trip to the End of the World still stands at the best of the new series. Martha and Donna both had historicals that were both wonderful. So I really hate to say this story is at the bottom of the list, especially after the super last episodes. Some of the elements of the story are interesting but it doesn't feel cohesive and it feels tired and unoriginal. Moffat loves having little kids, especially little girls, be the conduit for his stories and we get another one her, just like in the Beast Below. Yawn. Overall just an average story.
