Review of Secret of Arkatron by JayPea

16 October 2024

Just when I was talking about short stories not feeling like they talk down to their readers. Some of this definitely feels like talking down or dumbing down, some of it is fairly generic haunted house but actually space type-deal, and some of it is just the characters acting pretty out of character.

Again there's the thing of a few lines here and there where I don't believe characters would say that like that, and while it's not major it's enough to take me out of it. And then the ending with The Doctor re-trapping the villain in permanent conscious stasis forever... I mean sure he's done that kind of thing before (Family of Blood and Rogue come to mind), but there it's given appropriate weight, here it's just sort of glossed over.
