Review of Dreadshade by Alex5679
29 May 2024
Dreadshade picks up immediately after Palindrome, with Bliss and The traveling to Gallifrey only to arrive with some amnesia. This story was a step down from Palindrome, especially with the inclusion of amnesia, which is rarely enjoyable for The Eighth Doctor. However, it's still a delightful adventure with a lot of thrills and cool returning characters like The General, The Twelve, and Rasmus. The Twelve, being the main antagonist of this story, was fun. Julia Mckenzie's acting was quite enjoyable, but her role in this story could've been better. I always believed that maybe she should've been fully redeemed. Overall, this story was a fun little runaway story with the characters slowly figuring out pieces of the plot. It was nothing too great, but it was still enjoyable. 7/10
