Review of A Big Hand for the Doctor by Rock_Angel

28 May 2024

This review contains spoilers!

So the first Doctor lost both hand and is bitching bout the robot hand which is kind of funny, Susan is also missing, hes on a quest to find Susan and find some new hands. He goes to a surgeon named Aldrige who does the doctor a favour if he becomes a surgeon assistant for a number of days.

I found it hard to get into this e-short, the Doctor on the hunt for the soul pirates who took his hands 20 years ago. Its a lot of information like that thrown at you in a short amount of time, like Susan has to save some children but we don't hear about that till after she talks about it. So i did feel kind of lost unknowing whats going on.

I like how its mainly a 1st Doctor story on his own I feel most of the stories so far have had Susan be the focus its nice to see the leading man pave the way forward with him fighting a guy with a sword. With the incarnation being the first Doctor is a funny vision.

The best part of the e-short is the Doctor imagining his mother and calling Susan an adult, its so good because even though he treats Susan as a kid there hints on him knowing shes a grown up. The Doctor envisioning his mother adds a layer of childishness to 1st, because we do forget that he may be wise but he is still the youngest doctor.

but yeah overall this is a small dud in my opinion, nothing extremely worth it here. Its very hard to follow it seems to do the "and then another thing happend and..." style of story telling.
