She must just do what she feels is right. But then there are the soldiers of last resort... The freedom fighters left behind to cause maximum damage to the Dalek war effort, at whatever cost.

The Traitor opens atmospherically, presenting an enslaved world well & into this oppressive world we welcome Liv Chenka. Having not heard Robophobia I don’t think it's required listening, Nicola Walker is so good here at bringing Liv to life & the dilemma she’s in. A complex conflicted person with a distinct personality immediately established. Other than that it's fairly standard stuff, lots of Daleks shouting at each other giving us exposition & giving Briggs more work - he also writes & directs this one. That’s unsurprising given the proliferation of familiar tropes that he loves - Dalek occupation, robomen, rebels, etc etc. Unlike The Great War, the first episode of Dark Eyes, this isn’t exciting or original. It feels like Dalek Empire with added Doctor Who. A good or bad thing? You decide. There’s plenty of set up here but it's just not very interesting. Everything rushed in the last few minutes with a curt cliffhanger. It's only really the two central performances from Walker & McGann that kept me listening. PS - Daleks really do have a mining kink! monkeyshaver View profile Like Liked 0 18 December 2024 · 42 words Review by whitestar1993 Spoilers This review contains spoilers! This was a great start to the next box set, though I dislike it ending on another cliffhanger. Liv seems to be an interesting new companion, curious to see her in more stories. Getting a little tired of the Daleks again, though. whitestar1993 View profile Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
