This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: The Paradox Planet

What a satisfying conclusion to the last one. Probably my favourite 4DA story so far. The reveal that the planet's present declaring war on it's past is the cause of the pollution and extinction of species that led to the planet's present declaring war in the first place was incredible. You're given just enough clues to piece it together right before the Doctor and it hits hard. K9 being worshipped was loads of fun and played into the story extremely well.

I'm a sucker for timey-wimey stories and this one is the timiest-wimiest story I've witnessed thus far.

REVIEW ALSO POSTED IN THE PARADOX PLANET

Goodness me, was that a lot to get through!

Tom and Lalla have barely any chemistry, because they're only together for about five minutes in two hours! They get their own little stories, but connected together in a timey-wimey way and talk to each other via K-9. It's a complicated storytelling device, and I like what they were going for, but it devolves into a hot, confusing mess, full of plot holes and leaves me lost. Poor K-9, getting abandoned for 1000 years and still serving the Doctor by the end of it. If he wasn't a computer, he would've felt so lonely! The Fourth Doctor is awful to dogs!

A sci-fi war is such a bland landscape for Doctor Who to explore - The Doctor's Daughter, this release - they never seem to keep me hooked, and because of all the timey-wimey shenanigans, I'm not sure what the villains wanted - they wanted to use time travel to change the fate of the war and their planet? Not exactly an original concept, is it?

I liked the jungle landscape - if it's meant to be a jungle? There's some world-building involved, which I appreciate, but it's buried under all the confusion and main storylines.

The people who seem to praise the Doctor and Romana are awfully annoying - "Ooh, the holy TARDIS!" can only be said so many times before it becomes grating.

The score is once again, fantastic - truly the highlight of this story!

I admire them for trying, I really do. They just... didn't try hard enough. Good actors, clever ideas, but far too confusing and bored me to death.
