Review of Something Borrowed by MrColdStream

16 October 2024

📝4/10 = SLIGHTLY UNENJOYABLE!

Thworping through time and space, one adventure at a time! This time: it’s a red wedding!

This story throws us straight into the adventure, with Six and Peri visiting an alien wedding. It’s somewhat hard to get into the story when the characters and the setting are so unfamiliar. While we slowly learn about Koyutu and their wedding traditions, which involve the bride and groom going through a body renewal process similar to regeneration, this very exposition-heavy story makes it a slog to listen to.

The story picks up somewhat once the Rani is revealed to be involved. But even then, the story remains very muddled, the characters don’t pop out, and the adventure never turns truly intriguing. The Doctor also blends into the background of it.

Sophie Aldred’s American accent is fun to listen to, and it brings Peri’s narration to life.
