Previous Story: Animal


Season 27 might just be the most mediocre run of stories I've ever done. I don't think I have too much to say about this one, it's just quite dull. There's some interesting stuff with Ace pretending to be a spaceship captain (and being utterly hopeless at it) that's actually fun but the whole "crew suspects she's not who she seems" stuff went on a bit long.

The Metatraxi are back again. They're not the most interesting of villains if I'm being honest so I can't say I cared too much for their backstory in this one. There was a really good moment between them and the Doctor where they call him out for how he puts others in danger and I thought that was a solid moment.

Other than that, a dull affair to cap off a dull run.

Ufa! Pelo menos uma história boa pra encerrar esses Lost Stories do 7° Doctor, porque meu deus estava bem difícil dar continuidade nisso - Em um cenário limitado envolvendo duas naves espaciais e um planeta curioso, mesmo que o script de Earth Aid ainda sofra dos mesmo diagnósticos narrativos que seus antecessores, seu enredo conseguiu me envolver trazendo situações onde realmente me vi interessado querendo saber qual será os próximos passos de sua história. Ace é quase que a personagem principal sendo fundamental para todo o progresso da problemática - Infelizmente o mesmo não cabe a Raine que novamente fica bem distante e não tem quase utilidade nenhuma na aventura. Por incrível que pareça, eu gostei dos retornos dos Metrataxis os vilões voltaram full pistola com sede de vingança transmitindo uma imagem de seres implacáveis – Tá certo que a forma como os vilões foram embora (foram detidos) novamente foi bem ridículaaaa...mas nada que comprometa o empenho das criaturas. Em resumo, não há muito o que dizer de Earth Aid, está longe de ser um áudio incrível e sensacional do tipo: “Nossa galera, vocês precisam ouvir isso” não, não é... é solido, consistente com pouco a se reclamar – Uma nota 7 tá de bom tamanho.

Phew! At least one good story to end these Lost Stories of the 7th Doctor, because my god it was quite difficult to continue with this - In a limited scenario involving two spacecraft and a curious planet, even though the script of Earth Aid still suffers from the same narrative issues as its predecessors, its plot managed to engage me by bringing situations where I was really interested wanting to know what the next steps of its story would be. Ace is almost the main character, being fundamental to all the progress of the problem - Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Raine who again stays quite distant and has almost no use at all in the adventure. Incredibly, I liked the return of the Metrataxis; the villains came back full of anger with a thirst for vengeance, transmitting an image of relentless beings – It's true that the way the villains were dispatched (were detained) again was very ridiculous... but nothing that compromises the effort of the creatures. In summary, there's not much to say about Earth Aid, it is far from being an incredible and sensational audio like: "Wow folks, you need to hear this"; no, it’s not... it's solid, consistent with little to complain about – A rating of 7 is fair enough.
