A lot to like about this one: Leo McKern's excellent dual characterization, the fantastic ship design as well as impressively large ship interiors. The intelligent script has lots of dialogue though, which might turn some off, and though it has action and pyrotechnics, it is one of the quietest episodes of the series.
There is a lovely, spare piano composition near the end, which contributes nicely to the mood of this sad, thoughtful episode.
