Nemesis Vol4 Masters of Time Now Out Spoilers Ok

I’m surprised it took them so long to announce this; we knew based on the cliffhanger of the third set! Which makes it intriguing that Missy only seems to be in the last episode, so curious as to what unfolds between the cliffhanger and finale and whether they make their presence known.

It’s been a good range, so hope this final run sticks the landing.

Is this the first time we’ve actually got a visual reference for the Vulpreen? At least on the cover?

And much like a few of you, I’m surprised at how long it took to announce this.

I appreciate this is probably difficult to answer before it is out, but do you need the preceding three releases to understand and enjoy this set?

As a fan of Missy I am tempted to buy, but haven’t bought the others.

I hope they do something with Missy and Osgood given missy did kill one of the Osgood's.

That is something I am hoping for too, and is one of the reasons I am tempted to buy this set.

I’m in two minds about this set. I loved the framing device of One Way or Another, I enjoyed the Osgood focus in Traitor’s Gate, the time hopping in The Destiny Labyrinth and the revelations in True Nemesis. That’s each individual story, but I didn’t once feel it came together as a whole, which is why I’m in two minds.

I don’t buy that the Vulpreen have conquered Earth, it’s just not realised in the scripts and never really elaborated on. Osgood discussing how easy a cleanup task it was in the closing seconds of True Nemesis emphasises that. I also don’t think we really get enough insight into the Vulpreen to really justify trying to portray the other perspective in Traitor’s Gate. And I can’t say I felt Missy’s presence throughout the set, any reference to her felt superfluous rather than imagery of her pulling the strings of events not only in Masters of Time but the preceding three sets. If I’d not listened to the behind the scenes of True Nemesis I’d have the belief it was never the original intention to have Missy be the titled Nemesis from the beginning.

Each individual episode ticks all the right boxes for what I’d like out of UNIT, but as a finale to a long running arc it’s a bit of a damp squib. Especially given how strong the third set was, how the UNIT team came together and how the bigger story was slowly building up. I did smirk at Kate’s final lines about her missing Harry & Naomi, who barely had any presence and contributed even less!

Hopefully a relisten to the four sets in succession will fare better, as I think the long waits between hasn’t helped.

Thank you.

I had come to the conclusion it probably wouldn’t be worth it (for me) as it was the end of a long series and Missy was only in the last episode. But it is nice to know I didn’t miss anything really special between Osgood and the woman who killed her.
