Doing a slow binge of the entire show in 2017, I knew nothing about this episode going in, and about halfway through I was bored and watching it mainly on momentum. The story was junk sci-fi, sloppy and poorly explained, evoking a concept as mind-bending as "the end of time" and then filling it with mugging Road Warrior extras and the cast of Les Miserables. What does it even mean that it's the end of time? It really felt like another "Lazarus Experiment" or "Idiot Lantern".
Which is not to deny the greatness of parts of it -- the performances of the main cast, the brilliant setup for the 3-parter, etc. -- which were fine and tasty, but stuck onto an underlying premise as uninvolving as a cardboard pizza crust
