I was never a big 'Claws of Axos' fan, but I've definitely re-evaluated the story after this.
The story has a very unusual and interesting villain, and a moment where the audience is unsure if they can trust The Doctor to save the day! It's good television! Not sure why Past Me was so against it.
I've committed a Fandom Sin by cutting down Pigbin Josh until he's barely in it. Sorry, not sorry!
Ultimately, everything that happens in the original story still happen here, just a bit quicker!
