8/10
Decent payoff to a 32 year-old arc

This was a pretty good special. I'm so glad that they brought back Holly even though he was a bit underused. The original cast were good as always, especially in the more serious scenes. I thought the cat clerics were alright characters, though a little underdeveloped. The main villan Rodon was played brilliantly and it was heavily disappointing with the limited amount of screen time he got. I feel the stuff about Cat and Rodon being brothers was out nowhere but all the other character bits were really good. I really liked the parody on Christianity and the visual gags in the cat ship were also pretty entertaining. The effects were stunning for a Tv movie which probably explains why there were seven ads throughout the special on it's original premiere! Overall, I found this a satisfying conclusion to a 32 year arc. 8/10
