What they got right: I do like when Lee reaches back to the "forgotten" aliens. It's nice to see the Ogrons again. Unlike last issue, the "continuity porn" works. The prison ship design also looks familiar to me. Watching the Doctor work with guys he usually opposes…OK, that kind of story has been done before, somehow it feels fresh here. The best part is that the Doctor here isn't the totally infallible hero he usually is. Stripped of the magic Sonic Screwdriver that he usually does everything with, the Doctor is forced to rely on his reluctant allies and his other skills.
What they got wrong: On the other hand, using the original gimmick hidden in his sock just comes off as a plot device. I'm betting we don't see it again. Also, I don't think the Draconians really get along as poorly with the Doctor as the other two, although the motivations of the others make perfect sense. I'd also like to see Lee come up with an original race in a future story instead of always using the same old ones.
Recommendation: Still a great addition to a Time Lord's comic collection.
