* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** For people who found Thirteen's repeated insistence that she just wants to help people tiring, seeing her have a moment of selfishness where she just wants to get back to the TARDIS is a nice change for the people who found the over-earnest behavior grating.
** After three straight episodes of having flat villains, and two episodes of underdeveloped human villains, this episode gives Thirteen her first alien adversary since the Stenza, and takes time to go into the biology of the Pting, allowing the threat to be well defined and have a clear motivation.

* TroubledProduction: The episode was hit with a pre-production snag when Tim Price, who created the MonsterOfTheWeek Pting and who was part of the Series 11 writers' room, proved to be unable to write the episode. With no replacement script, showrunner Creator/ChrisChibnall was forced to write the finished script himself despite having five other scripts to write and a series to manage. This resulted in an episode that was tepidly received by viewers as dull and uneventful. Whether Price's version of the script would have been better will probably never be known, although curiously enough he is still credited with the creation of the Pting.
