This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: Gods and Monsters While I think it would have been thematically better if Hex stayed dead (although I'm not complaining that he's back), this story is still really solid and doesn't detract from the end of the last story. There's some really strong character stuff and I mean it. I don't think this iteration or really even any iteration of the Doctor has ever felt this alien. The whole mob boss stuff is what brought this story down for me. Granted, it was still pretty decent stuff hence the high rating regardless, just not nearly good as the character exploration we got. Fantastic performances from everyone here, but particularly Sophie Aldred and Sylvester McCoy. I'm curious to see how it all wraps up, hopefully it keeps up the quality all the way until the end.

Afterlife é aquela típica história bem fora da curva dos padrões de Doctor Who que entrega uma progressão narrativa uma estrutura e comportamento quase novelístico – É impressionante como à medida que sua história avança as coisas vão ficando cada vez mais interessante com nos gernado momentos incríveis de ação, emoção, arrepios e reflexões bem profundas. A parte 1 se passa toda na TARDIS, somos arrebatados com um clima extremamente pesado onde Ace está furiosa com o ocorrido no áudio anterior, a reação da companion serve como um freio de mão nas recentes e questionáveis atitudes do 7° Doctor, automaticamente o Time Lord deixa seu lado extremamente enigmático, manipulador e maquiavélico se tornando uma criança sentimental que busca incansavelmente o perdão. Infelizmente não haverá muitos detalhes do enredo nessa review por se tratar de uma história que interliga eventos anteriores, seria soltar spoilers muito fortes e estragaria totalmente a experiencia de muitos - O que posso dizer sem ir muito além, é que mesmo apresentando novamente algumas situações estranhas, Afterlife é um áudio brilhante que entrega de forma magistral a sua proposta principal. Mais uma vez a parte 4 ganha grande destaque, temos uma “cena” que simplesmente descreve de forma sombria, pesada e até mesmo grosseira, quem de fato é a 7° encarnação - É um dos momentos mais memoráveis da time line do personagem do McCoy, uma das melhores atuações e interpretações de toda a série, é um daqueles momentos que você nunca vai esquecer. Ouça...mas no momento certo 😉😁 KnuppMello View profile Like Liked 1 Open in new window Statistics AVG. Rating79 members 4.21 / 5 GoodReads AVG. Rating121 votes 4.03 / 5 The Time Scales AVG.
