Thworping through time and space, one adventure at a time! “Paradox Moon: A Clever Puzzle in Time” Paradox Moon reintroduces the Shadow Proclamation and the Judoon, two intriguing but underused elements in Doctor Who. Their entire communication network is disrupted by the sudden appearance of a mysterious moon, prompting the arrival of Thirteen to investigate. The story blends this central mystery with a subplot involving two siblings who traverse multiple alternate timelines, scavenging fragments of the Doctor's TARDIS to construct their own time machine. While Rudden doesn’t quite capture Thirteen's voice, the Doctor shines through her clever unraveling of the paradox, step by step. She is joined by two charming robot guards, who serve as temporary companions, asking the right questions and adding a touch of humor—until they’re revealed to be the scheming siblings who meticulously orchestrated the Doctor’s entrapment. The story excels in its exploration of paradoxes and timelines, presenting the intriguing idea that every destroyed timeline continues to exist somewhere. This opens the door for the inventive twist of piecing together a TARDIS from fragments scattered across these lost realities. It also weaves in poignant reflections on the Time War’s lingering effects and the Doctor's unparalleled bond with her TARDIS. 📝Verdict: 9/10 Though not perfect, Paradox Moon delivers an engaging and thought-provoking tale, brimming with clever concepts and the timeless appeal of timey-wimey adventures.
