A decent episode. I'd say the opening is really strong, and it kind of gets less engaging once it hits that flashback, which could have been a bit more concise. Smith is great as always, but I don't know that I really like series 7's depiction of Clara. She's young and pretty here, and that's it, really.
Vastra and Jenny are nice, I like Vastra's joy at the "65 million years ago" line. I think the episode just becomes kind of unengaging. It's not a very tense or fun finale, and frankly Murray Gold's music gets too triumphant too fast. I'm writing this in 2023, so the show has had a different composer, and I do think that a more subdued style fits the show better. Although there are some nice compositions, especially at the beginning of the episode.
A decent script from Mark Gatiss, I did like Ada's story a lot, and Mr. Sweet is suitably gross.
