particularly Neve McIntosh as the astronaut Hannah.

particularly in the first half, as it focuses on character development 
and establishing the central conflict.

difficult moral choice with no easy solution. This can be unsettling or 
frustrating for viewers who prefer a clear-cut good vs. evil narrative.

episode of Doctor Who. It's praised for its intelligent writing, 
emotional depth, and thought-provoking themes.

episode that challenges viewers to think about difficult choices.
