Part 5: a Mindwarp is at the Center of the Plot

July 18, 2018

google.com, pub-ca-pub-6067120031842370, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0 Part 5 The series of events which are a part of the Mysterious Planet is over. In part 5 of the Trial of the Timelord,(1) the Valeyard takes the court to another place in the universe. In this part of the series, we meet Sil from Vengeance on Varos again. The Doctor and Peri travel to Thoros Beta, Sil’s home planet. At this point in the trial, I expect nothing less than tension and stress in the…

Summary There are three separate stories within the fourteen episodes of The Trial of a Timelord. Therefore, a summary is necessary after the first four episodes. Everyone who watches season 23 sees the premise of the trial deals with the Doctors actions. The Valeyard is doing his best to frame the Doctor and make the High Council believe his getting involved in the events on Ravolox is behavior unbecoming a timelord. Robert Holmes wrote a good story. The use of…

Part 3: The Mysterious Planet As we begin part 3, we find the Doctor, Peri, Sabalom Glitz, Dibber, and Baltazar cornered in the subway. The primitive tribe coming in the door and the L1 robot coming from the immortal’s layer. The primitives shoot the robot with a gun, which disables it, This allows them to escape and go back to the village. The pace of all the action seems correct and the timing as well. I like the placement of the switches…

Smile After finding this article by Ben Allen of the Radio Times, I have no doubt Jodie Whittaker goes to work with a smile on her face. Does this surprise me? Well, not at all, because Doctor Who is the best show on television and I believe I would do the same. As a fan, I certainly hope the actor or actress playing the Doctor is happy playing the Doctor. To me, it is like when you or I go…

Created In this article from Radio Times, there is some new information on the novelization of Rose. There are possible spoilers so read it at your own risk. As a fan, I do find it interesting, that Davies created more incarnations of the Doctor. Of course, it is only an opinion, and it may not be a shared opinion. Asking a question at this point is necessary. Why did Davies add this to the novel? The writer of the article believes…

Musical Episode I found this article very interesting. As fans, we all saw Peter Capaldi play the guitar on Doctor Who, but would you ever believe the idea he had? Well, he thought a musical episode where the Doctor meets a musical legend would be great. Of course, we know the TARDIS can travel anywhere in space and time, so anything is possible, but will a musical episode work. Personally, I love the Doctor playing the guitar in the TARDIS and thought…

Almost Wasn’t I wonder now as I read this article, what Doctor Who would be like had Matt Smith backed out. Smith says he wobbled. So, he questioned his decision to take the role and almost wasn’t the Eleventh Doctor. What would the show look like if Smith backed out? Well, let’s say when Smith wobbled he did back out. As a fan, I want to know who Moffat considered for the role. According to Wikipedia, there were two other actors…
