Original (Brazilian Portuguese) Translation (English) É chegado o final da 2° Temporada do Fourth Doctor Adventures, infelizmente a última história da Mary Tamm e felizmente o primeiro encontro de K9 com os Daleks. Eu estaria mentindo se chegasse aqui e te falasse que essa é uma história Dalek diferenciada, não...não é. Na verdade ela é cheia de ideias tradicionais já muito conhecidas pelos fãs da série, o Doutor sendo o sábio salvador que guia e compartilha seus conhecimentos para derrotar os Daleks, um grupo de rebeldes que luta contra os Daleks, um vilão que faz um acordo com os Daleks e depois acaba quebrando a cara, o Doutor discursando em um "face to face" com o Dalek Supreme. Além disso, quando analisamos ao todo sua estrutura percebemos que ela possui uma problemática tão simples mais tão simples, que fica nítido o quanto seu passo a passo o quanto sua narrativa foi bem arrastada em vários momentos, sinceramente eu fiquei com um sentimento de que tudo poderia ter sido bem resolvido e bem aplicado em apenas 1 parte. Mesmo com isso, ainda acho um Finale bem aceitável e divertido, os Daleks dando de...de...de...defeitooo...exa...exater...exatemi...exaterminateee!!! 🤣🤣 foi bem engraçado, a quebra de clima quando o Doutor se "sacrifica" para resolver uma situação, a conclusão da história a forma como tudo é resolvido é bem empolgante, e o desempenho perfeito do trio Tom Baker, Mary Tamm e John Leeson. The end of the 2nd season of the Fourth Doctor Adventures has arrived, sadly the last story with Mary Tamm and fortunately the first encounter of K9 with the Daleks. I would be lying if I came here and told you that this is a different Dalek story, no...it is not. In fact, it is full of traditional ideas already well known by the fans of the series, the Doctor being the wise saviour who guides and shares his knowledge to defeat the Daleks, a group of rebels fighting against the Daleks, a villain who makes a deal with the Daleks and then ends up breaking his face, the Doctor delivering a speech in a "face to face" with the Dalek Supreme. Moreover, when we analyse its structure as a whole, we realise that it has such a simple problem, so simple that it becomes clear how its step by step, how its narrative was dragged out in several moments, honestly I felt that everything could have been well resolved and well applied in just 1 part. Even with that, I still find it a well-acceptable and fun finale, the Daleks going ba...ba...ba...brokennn...exa...exater...exatemi...exterminateee!!! 🤣🤣 was quite funny, the change of pace when the Doctor "sacrifices" himself to solve a situation, the conclusion of the story and the way everything is solved is very exciting, and the perfect performance of the trio Tom Baker, Mary Tamm and John Leeson.

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: The Dalek Contract Rather sadly, this is both Mary Tamm's and Romana I's appearances in the extended timeline, and I'm glad it's happened on a good story. It's a surprisingly good Dalek story, with plenty of great side characters. Cuthbert is even better in this and he's set up as a good future villain. Romana's reaction to the Doctor's "death" is fairly good and so are that last moments of this audio. It's a good ending to a fun series and, in the extended timeline, Season 16 as a whole. Next Story: Destiny of the Daleks Series Review: 9/10 For a series that has 4/7 stories written by Nick Briggs it's surprisingly really good, genuinely there was really only one story I didn't like, the rest ranged from passable to brilliant. I think it's helped that Tom Baker and Mary Tamm have excellent chemistry on audio and there were some genuinely interesting concepts throughout the series. Extended Timeline Season Review: 9.5/10 In the extended timeline, Season 16 goes from The Sinestran Kill to The Final Phase with all of televised Season 16 in the middle. It's not a season without it's faults, the series of 4DAs at the start, with Ann Kelso were very dull, but after that, the televised season and now Series 2 of the 4DAs it's probably been one of my favourite Tom Baker seasons. The Key to Time was a brilliant story arc. Romana I is one of my favourite companions of 4 so far, beaten only by Leela, so I'm curious to see how Lalla Ward as Romana II will play out. It is sad that as a season this will probably have no more content, due to the unfortunate death of Mary Tamm, but the little we did get made for a fun little trip through time and space. thedefinitearticle63 View profile Like Liked 2
