Here's a summary of the key points from reviews: **Strengths:** * **Chemistry:** * The chemistry between Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor and Jonathan Groff's Rogue is a major highlight. Their interactions are described as engaging and entertaining. * Millie Gibson also delivers strong comedic timing. * **Return to "Traditional" Who:** * The episode is seen by some as a return to a more classic "historical romp" format, which is a welcome change of pace. * The episode has very good costume and set design. * **Performances:** * Ncuti Gatwa continues to impress with his charisma and range, displaying both humor and emotional depth. * Jonathan Groff gives a very strong performance as Rogue. **Weaknesses:** * **Plot:** * Some reviewers found the plot to be somewhat generic and lacking in real tension. * The villains, the Chuldur, are described by some as being underwhelming. * The romantic element between the Doctor and Rogue, while enjoyed by many, was considered by some to be rushed. * **Pacing:** * Though generally well recieved, some felt that the episode could have used some tighter pacing. * **Ending:** * The ending of the Chuldur threat, was considered by some to be a bit of a let down. **Overall Impression:** "Rogue" is generally considered to be a fun and entertaining episode, with strong performances and enjoyable character interactions. However, some viewers may find the plot to be somewhat lacking and the pacing to be uneven. It is a very good "fun" episode. **Rating:** Considering the strengths and weaknesses, I'd rate "Rogue" a 80/100.
