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

Previous Story: The Angel of Scutari


I was planning on doing A Death in the Family aswell today but this story has genuinely killed my motivation stone-dead.  It genuinely takes skill to fumble a cliffhanger as good as the one from the last story. There's some decent tension in the first part with the Doctor needing to stitch Hex up while armed soldiers close in and then after that Hex gets sorted and it doesn't come up for the rest of the story.

I just hate the Forge, they're so annoying in a "we're so edgy and cool way". I hate how the Doctor tolerates them infinitely more than he should. I hate how under-developed they are - I've listened to 3 of their stories and I still don't understand their motivations or why they exist. They are cartoonishly evil. Particularly Nimord. It's such a shame because this story should be really important for setting up Hex's feelings going into the next story but I struggled to properly get into it because I genuinely can't take this seriously.

In a way, it's a similar position to the one I was in with Project: Lazarus going into Arrangements for War. A really awful story that unfortunately sets up the main emotional driver for the events of the following one. At the very least I'm getting towards the end of this nonsense and I'll be able to continue my Doctor Who in peace without the forced melodrama and edginess that comes with the Forge.

Chegamos no ponto final da trilogia “Project” que na minha opinião é o ápice dos 3 áudios que compõe essa caminhada. A história já começa dando seu cartão de boas-vindas mostrando logo a que veio em sua primeira parte, temos ares de extrema tensão onde o Doctor e a Ace correm contra o tempo para resolver as consequências do evento trágico ocorrido no áudio anterior “The Angel Of Scutari”, além disso se depararam com uma nova realidade, Londres vive um cenário apocalíptico por função de um vírus alienígena que infectou praticamente toda a população causando uma pandemia bem delicada - O interessante é que isso não é apenas um pequeno detalhe para representar um cenário genérico de urgência, toda essa situação é muito explorada e utilizada ao decorrer da história a ponto de um personagem bem importante sofrer as consequências causadas por esse vírus. Aqui vai um conselho de amigo - Se a sua motivação para ouvir a trilogia “Project” for a sua curiosidade pela “Forge”, existe uma grande probabilidade de você acabar se frustrando muito. Sinceramente, não a nada de grandioso nela, tudo que precisa saber e o que provavelmente você vai perceber é que a “Forge” nada mais é que um instituição “malvadona genérica” que possui um líder (vilão) o “Nimrod” que por mais que ele tenha um papel importante nesse último áudio, é um personagem incrivelmente patético e extremamente forçado... “Ah Doctor nos da Forge vamos conquistar o mundo, veja como sou malvadão YEAH”...ai ai 🤦🏻‍♂️... Mas se esse não for o caso e sua motivação for o background do “Hex”, é certeza que você vai tirar um bom proveito de “Project” (em especial da parte 3 kkkkkk pq as outras é meee KKKK), confesso em certos momentos bem emocionantes eu quase derramei lagrimas.
