Thworping through time and space, one adventure at a time!

NOTES & COMMENTS:

This story takes us to Mississippi in the 1930s, the era of blues musicians making deals with the devils (as in the Supernatural episode).

Rob Williams assumes the writing responsibilities for this one, plunging us directly into the adventure, where a truck-driving Alice steps in to rescue a seemingly possessed Doctor. Williams then transports us back in time to witness the build-up leading up to this event.

Alice has the opportunity to choose the setting once more and expresses a desire to meet her mother's former idol, who ultimately proves to be far from the legendary figure she once knew. There are some Devil's Chord vibes in this one.

Bessie is back in an evolved form! It's a fun nod to the 1970s, but not exactly a huge plot point.

I like the Doctor's dialogue here; it feels spot-on for Eleven.

We eventually work our way back to the beginning of the comic and begin piecing together why no one notices John Jones and where the yellow-eyed zombies come from.

So there's a creepy organisation here (SERVEYOUinc) that has been following the Doctor for some time, led by a creepy dude.

We yet again see Alice being resourceful as she figures out how to use the sonic and the TARDIS to help the Doctor.

The resolution is once again very quick and simple (and again feels a bit like The Devil's Chord). It also leaves the nature of the baddies shrouded in mystery.
