Review of Sunset by No311

29 April 2025

In the second installment of Planet Krynoid, the Doctor is here to help the people of the planet save themselves from the Krynoids!

This is essentially a Doctor Who story, except the Doctor is more preoccupied with his own problem, and the Doctor does not save the colony after all.

While the Doctor and his group are trying to survive, the governor is trying to deal with the fallout of the Krynoids growing and threathening to destabilize the rich part of the colony. This is not helped by his attachment to his wife and the agitator in the form of a disenfranchised youth.

Again, this play juggles a lot of plots and stories, and it was a bit hard to follow sometimes (as I was doing errands while listening to this). However, around the end, all stories converge in the defeat of the two existing Krynoids, which then leads to a genuinely shocking cliffhanger which I certainly didn't see coming, announcing that now the Doctor is gone, things are back to bad.

Edit: After seeing the rave reviews on here, I decided to relisten Sunlight and Sunset in preparation for Darkness, and when not doing errands, this play is easier to follow. However, I still think it juggles a bit too many plots and stories at times, and found it hard to start caring about any of them too much as they keep switching them around at breakneck speed.
