Critical reception
Doctor Who Magazine reviewer Matt Michael found the casting and performances excellent, but the play "slightly misjudged" as a finale.[3]
gollark: Actually, maybe you could test it by seeing how much of a sentence or whatever you could remove/change before people can't guess the original.
gollark: I don't think so. It would be far too subjective.
gollark: You can look at this site (http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/spacegunintro.php) for information on somewhat realistic space-weaponry as it applies to sci-fi, though it's kind of oddly organized.
gollark: You wouldn't actually see the beams, for one thing, as far as I know.
gollark: "Big laser weapons on spaceships" probably could exist, I guess. Though they probably wouldn't really look like that.
