I actually thought Luke looked much better this time, and I’m glad they’ve improved on the technology. It meant an episode which featured mostly him was actually tolerable.
Except, I’m with you in feeling that this is the worst episode yet. It’s hard to wrap my head around how an episode can have so much good stuff in it yet be so fundamentally terrible. Throwing this storyline into a series that’s meant to be following a different storyline only damages both.
