Five is the watcher, the planner. He tends to sit back and examine things and then jump in and save the day once all the pieces are in play. Not necessarily a chessmaster that Seven is but there can often be shades of it. The fascinating thing is that this story plays that against him: by the time the Doctor sees all the pieces put into play, it’s too late. Also put into play everything else everyone has said about this story. It’s very much appreciably one of those GOAT Big Finish releases for a reason.
