I decided it was time for me to create a dedicated thread for my Whoniverse reviews. I’ll be posting all of my future reviews here for you to read and enjoy (and drop a like if you feel like it. There’s no obligation, however. But it would make me very happy. You don’t have to make me happy, though, if you’d rather see me sad!)
Feel free to discuss my reviews as well, in case you agree or disagree with them!
Also, please keep in mind that most of my reviews contain spoilers for the story - usually minor spoilers and the occasional major one, but still.
I tried this one so many times. At least three of which I was listening on the train and dozed off midways… I blame the train tho. Gonna try again next week. Hope I can see it through.
The Feast of the Drowned is a fun, fast-paced and fairly standard NSA novel.
This one is VERY GOOD!
I also listened to the new Susan’s War set, which continues to depict a different side to the Time War, with some interesting emotional exploration. The Lost Son is VERY GOOD and The Golden Child is GOOD!
Well, well, what have we got here? Four new reviews for you to read and enjoy!
First off, we have Excelis Dawns, a strange romp with Five, Anthony Stewart Head and Katy Manning not playing Jo. This one is NOT VERY ENJOYABLE!
We then move to another story featuring Anthony Stewart Head, but this time with David Tennant and Elisabeth Sladen. It’s a fun mix of Classic and New Who, and it’s ENJOYABLE!
Following this, it’s the latest 6DA, The Trials of a Time Lord, which is a very uneven mix of familiar elements from Colin’s TV era. This one is OKAY!
Last, but not least, we have the first story in the new 4DA set, The Face in the Storm. It’s quite an atmospheric historical adventure with an icy threat! This one is ENJOYABLE!
The Excelis trilogy continues with a Sixth Doctor adventure, Excelis Rising, which is more enjoyable than the opening story.
And next up in the Classic series is an underrated, partly missing historical adventure, in The Crusade. It features some of the finest acting in all of Doctor Who, and it’s truly remarkable!
Look what the tin dog dragged in! It’s a Whovian’s best friend or perhaps their biggest nightmare! Reviews of the first five episodes of the K-9 spin-off! Woohoo!
None of these are particularly good, as you might expect…
(By the way, thanks for reading my reviews and dropping enough likes to grant me the Appreciated Reviewer badge. As a reviewer, that is much appreciated!)
You wanted more K9? Well, you’re not getting any! Have a collection of other reviews instead:
The second story in the recent Fourth Doctor set, Dominant Species is a serviceable exit for companions Harry and Naomi.
Paul Cornell provides a fun multi-Doctor adventure for Titan Comics, in Four Doctors.
Dwayne Bunney narrates this unofficial audiobook release of the Terrance Dicks novelisation of An Unearhtly Child, which is a disappointingly faithful adaptation of the very first TV story.
The Seventh Doctor returns to Excelis for an ultimate showdown in the third part of the Excelis saga, Excelis Decays.
And finally, the studio version of the live event The Stuff of Legend is a straightforward, but not very memorable adventure for Eight and Charley.
The Excelis arc concludes with a Bernice Summerfield and Iris Wildthyme adventure that doesn’t do a lot to improve this fairly middling miniseries.
I continue listening to the BBC Audio Originals with an atmospheric Second Doctor tale featuring an intriguing take on the Doctor’s people.
I’m currently listening to the new 15 Doctors 15 Stories audiobook, and here’s the first short story by Irish novelist Eoin Colfer, featuring the First Doctor looking for new hands.
The Fifth Doctor and his dream team returns in this ambitious six-parter that I find slighlty disappoitning (but it has a few good moments here and there…).
Glyn Jones offers us a four-part story with a strong opening installment and three episodes of fluff.
