I still think this is a better "first half of a finale" than Army of Ghosts; it has a more interesting setup scenario - whether or not you think the 'Irish' stuff is remotely coherent, it has a different feel to everything else we've had up to that point - and it uses the Cybermen (and the "humans fighting them") more interestingly.

I still don't think it's particularly good though, for all that. I think I actually prefer Battle as a finale because it (like the rest of that season) felt more experimental. This second season feels too much like Chibnall letting his fannish side get the better of him - and when you compare it with, say, "No Future", you can see how inadequate it is.
