MR 023: Project: Twilight

Uh... not sure how I feel about this one. Doctor Who's edgy emo phase I guess. Even edgier than Shalka.

During WW1, the British Empire somehow figured out how to create vampires. Of the State of Decay variety. Those vampires are now in the middle of London in 2001 trying to spread the vampire virus to all of humanity. For... some reason. The lead vampire says it's to "save humanity," but I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. Immortality I guess? They're hunted by a man named Nimrod, the scientist responsible for creating them in the first place during WW1. He became a vampire himself to stay alive and is now a vampire hunter. The Doctor is tricked in the stupidest way possible into helping them create their virus and then helps Nimrod stop them.

What I have to assume is the most important part here is that they turn a woman named Cassie into a vampire who works at their front casino. Since she's rescued and dropped off in scandinavia to hang out. Presumably to be a recurring character.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan. It's just edgy for the sake of it. Very 80s Doctor Who. Blood and guts and gratuitous violence just cause. And just like State of Decay (where vampires first originate) everyone is trying WAAAYYY too hard to act edgy. They're saying edgy one liners and trying to act all jaded and sarcastic as they saw off limbs or watch people explode or inject people with the vampire virus. Like I said, it's giving very emo. Very Hot Topic circa 2005.

That's really all there is to it. Oh and the Doctor is an idiot for falling for the vampire ruse. Dumb. I'm surprised that this audio got sequels at all. 2001 really was a different time huh?
