That one was merely okay for me. But after four in a row, an ever age episode was (on average) bound to happen. I get the feel that overall it could have been better, but was let down at the script editing stage: an odd number of jarring tonal shifts, with the fun romp and emotional or darker scenes not blending very well. Felt a bit like it started as more of comedy and then they decided “umm… Needs more pathos, add some stuff!”

I must confess, my first thought was “I wonder if the Doctor will introduce her to Captain Jack.”

I reserve judgement, however, until the end of Part II.
