Alaska, Earth Synopsis 1934: the TARDIS lands on a snowy island off the coast of Alaska — one that wasn't there four years, three months and six days ago, according to the Doctor. The island is dominated by a vast, twisted citadel. Inside it, the Lurkers lie dreaming. It's said when they wake the world will end... Led by the ruthless Emerson Whytecrag, an expedition has come to the citadel, to exploit the horrors in its ebon-dark interior. Horrors just like those published in the pages of the pulp magazine Shuddersome Tales, where a hero's only reward is madness, death... or worse. Horrors that the Doctor and his companion are about to wake up.

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: A Death in the Family This is the Time-Flight to A Death in the Family's Earthshock. Not only does it completely ignore what should be a really good starting point for a really introspective character piece, it doesn't even put in the effort to deliver a somewhat interesting story! This story is actually so dull that it's not even funny. I'm not gonna bother going in depth with a review of this because, frankly, there isn't any depth to actually review. It's the most nothing story to ever happen. Not even Sophie Aldred's excellent performance could save it (although I do appreciate the effort that she puts in regardless of the script quality, that's something not every actor does).

Original (Brazilian Portuguese) Translation (English) Essa será uma das review mais curtas dessa página. Após a grande revelação envolvendo Hex durante os dois últimos áudios, aqui em “Lurkers at Sunlight's Edge” temos uma estranha volta à normalidade trazendo um tom de que nada mudou, algo extremamente frustrante. Olha, até que de início temos ares interessantes junto a uma sonoridade bem atmosférica proporcionando uma imersão legal. Mas medida que progride, sua história revela ser mais um típico templante clichêzão de Doctor Who – Temos um instituto, mutação, um gênio/cientista/escritor(sei lá ksks) pirado que estava desaparecido, bichos genéricos como aquelas vozes grossa sempre usadas em monstros genéricos, corre pra cá, corre pra lá...Ou seja, nada de diferente, nada de inovador e de interessante, só o mais do mesmo que já vimos inúmeras vezes. Eu adoro o trabalho e o cuidado que a BIG FINISH tem em dividir os três personagens principais (Sétimo, Ace e Hex) dando a eles ótimos sub-plots dentro das histórias – Mas nesse caso, as 3 separações são beeem chatas e desinteressantes, destaco em especial a do Hex que conforme avança, seu plot se torna cada vez mais irritante e incrivelmente inaudível...Os bichos emitindo e repetindo aquele sonoridade do tipo “Lass-fert, Mee-yago, No-per-eye” “Nora'mert, Oga-yim, Lenta-righ”, me irritou muito. Não dá nem pra dizer que “Lurkers at Sunlight's Edge” é injustiçado por ser ofuscado pela masterpiece “A Death In The Family”, o áudio é tão raso que não te apresenta motivos para defende-lo, não dá brecha para argumentos de que isso pode ser visto como algo bom - Mas sim, um ponto insignificante na time line do 7° Doutor - Pulavel, descartável, algo que não acrescenta em nada. This will be one of the shortest reviews on this page. After the big revelation involving Hex in the last two audios, here in "Lurkers at Sunlight's Edge" we have a strange return to normality bringing a tone that nothing has changed, something extremely frustrating. Look, at the beginning we have interesting airs along with a very atmospheric sound providing a nice immersion. But as it progresses, its story turns out to be yet another typical cliché template of Doctor Who - We have an institute, mutation, a mad genius/scientist/writer (who knows lol) who was missing, generic creatures like those deep voices always used in generic monsters, running here, running there... That is, nothing different, nothing innovative and interesting, just more of the same that we have seen countless times. I adore the work and the care that BIG FINISH has in dividing the three main characters (Seventh, Ace, and Hex) giving them great sub-plots within the stories - But in this case, the 3 separations are really boring and uninteresting, I particularly highlight Hex’s which as it progresses, his plot becomes increasingly annoying and incredibly inaudible... The creatures emitting and repeating that sound like “Lass-fert, Mee-yago, No-per-eye” “Nora'mert, Oga-yim, Lenta-righ”, annoyed me a lot. It's not even possible to say that "Lurkers at Sunlight's Edge" is unjustly overshadowed by the masterpiece “A Death In The Family”, the audio is so shallow that it doesn't give you reasons to defend it, there is no room for arguments that this can be seen as something good - But yes, an insignificant point in the timeline of the 7th Doctor - Skippable, disposable, something that adds nothing.
