I think the worst thing that can be said about a story is that it was "okay." Not great, not awful. Just kind of there.
This story, for me, was okay. I was glad to see a personal growth ending rather than a ha-ha-the-bitch-had-it-coming ending, but it IS Resnick, so I'm not terribly surprised. (Though he had some considerably darker stories in the past, I haven't seen one recently that wasn't hovering right on the borderline of schmaltzy. Usually not quite going over, but always sort of toeing the line, as it were.) For me, the Baroness' growth as a person was just a little too fast and easy to make much sense. I mean, if the Doctor really married her for love, you'd think that his supposed solicitous attention and generosity of spirit and such would have sparked her self-revelation a little earlier, if it was this easy to do. That was kind of the hardest thing for me to get ahold of; how did this apparently cruel and imperious woman manage to so capture the heart of the "nice guy" Doctor, and how did he manage to woo and win her without ever having any sort of serious heart-to-heart conversation? I couldn't see any way for them to end up where they started, in other words. If they weren't already married and it was a story of their relationship beginning, then it would fit better; she seems to be a little too quickly won over considering the amount of disappointment and resentment she expresses in the early part of the story.
Also, I'm a bit bothered that the signs of her relationship with her husband improving are:
1) She pretends to be interested in his work (despite it being all just so dreadfully complicated for her womanly brain.)
2) She cooks him dinner (because a woman's place is in the kitchen.)
3) She agrees to have sex with him again (because a husband has a right to his wife's body, and sex between married couples is a case of the woman submitting to the man and granting him access rather than something that both parties desire and enjoy.)
The bits in parentheses are my personal reactions. I have no idea what Mr. Resnick's attitudes or political leanings are and I wouldn't presume to judge from the story. That's just how the events came off to me; it feels, for lack of a better word, old-fashioned. Very Taming of the Shrew. Mrs. Frankenstein overcomes her frigid independence and learns the joys of housewifery or something. I dunno. It bugged me.
