Too short and an obvious rip-off of Aliens. Should have seen that coming,
since that is what classic Doctor Who used to do all the time.

While trying to watch Dreamland, or while reading Aggy's posts?

Would I be complaining about it if it were Aggy's posts?

Hmm, it worked this time. Aggy's Aliens reference is entirely
superficial - this race completely unlike the creatures in Aliens just
happens to have an alien queen. I'm still enjoying the story, and
regretting all the more that it wasn't a single live-action special;
the premise seems too good to squander on an online-only animation
that's not part of the formal series.

Yes, Aggy. I remember all those classic Who episodes ripping off a
film produced in 1986; very appropriate for a time travel show,
ripping off films produced in the future.

So you haven't seen Alien or Aliens either.

I've seen both multiple times, but don't remember the spaceship chase
scene in either. There's a queen producing new aliens - that's the
only similarity. The aliens are very different, they have motives and
form alliances, and everything that happens is very different too.
