6/10

It's decent, just bland.

I struggled to concentrate on this one, meaning only one thing, that I was somewhat bored. The opening scenes were brilliant, what a dramatic beginning, the scene on the bus was also terrific, pretty nasty, the trouble is the rest of it was just a bit flat somehow.

We've had shadows, we've had Lazarus, it's a very long first series, and somehow it feels tired here, have they recycled some of the material, or is there a bit of an obsession with Reincarnation.

It's not a bad episode per se, but it just never seems to come to life. After Darkness falls and Tooms, my expectations are high, this one was just totally forgettable. 6/10.
