9/10
A quality penultimate episode.

Warning: Spoilers
At the close of events in the previous episode we learned right at the end that Quill's attachment to Charlie, had ended, that the creature, the Arn inside her had gone. The events here run consecutively with those events. Quill, Dorothea and Soldier Ballon are transported to a new world, the world where the idea of the Arn live. A bizarre series of journeys follow, collecting elements needed to operate on Quill. Quill and Ballon must face off,after Dorothea's true hand is shown.

A clever episode,one that shows a definite pedigree of writing, higher in quality then some that have gone before. I love how the episode links in to the previous one. Nice to have a story feature largely on Quill, I feel she's been somewhat overlooked for the most part of the series.

A definite attempt to create a Missy like character with Dorothea, Pooky acts, sounds and dare I say it resembles a tiny bit the wonderful Michelle Gomez.

I hate to describe the episode as mature as that sounds patronising, but it feels exactly that, intelligent, mature, quality drama 9/10

The Metaphysical Engine, or What Quill Did
Prismark1013 January 2018
In the previous episode, class was in detention and dealing with a meteor. Miss Quill went off to deal with the metaphysical as she and Ames along with a shapeshifter impersonating a Zygon called Ballon who is also a prisoner. Here we see the result of their adventures.

The task is to go to metaphysical alien worlds and belief systems. The Arn version of heaven, Ballon's peoples hell and a god that Quill's race believe in.

It all leads to Quill feeling like a soldier one more time, an eye opening extraction process, Ballon and Quill making love and Ames maybe showing her hand as a nasty one which leads me to conclude that the school governors are up to no good.

This episode feels more like a genuine sci fi episode albeit still a low budget one, despite being beautifully filmed. This is because here we are not concentrating on the teenagers. Yet Quill's wisecracks still makes her the most intriguing character.
