I loved how central Bill was with her own investigation while the Doctor was away. I definitely got a kick out of the line where she says the Ninth Doctor looks like a lesbian. My only nitpick is that the ending felt a little rushed InterstellarCas View profile Like Liked 2 9 February 2025 · 41 words Review by Bongo50 1 I think that War Stories has quite an interesting and unique idea that's fun to explore. However, I found much of the narration quite forced and unnatural, possibly bordering on cringey. The impression of the Twelfth Doctor was really good, though.

Bill thinking Nine looks like a lesbian she had a crush on sent me into hysterics. illyriashade56 View profile Like Liked 3 Show All Reviews (16) Open in new window Statistics AVG.

The cosmos torn asunder. Every planet left with scars. From Skaro to Kasterborous, and Villengard as well — Some know it as the Time War, but the Time Lords call it Hell. The seven deaths of Davros, and the slaughter of Skull Moon. The Neverwhen, the Never-weres, the Never-Gone-Too-Soon. The war raged on for eons, and it’s only just begun, Fragmenting space and causing time itself to be undone. Until a man is born upon the barren sands of Karn, Until that man confronts himself twice over, in a barn. Until the Daleks breach the second city, and it falls. Until that man engraves the words “No More” into the walls. I am that man, and I will take this Moment to avow: If once there was a Doctor, there is not a Doctor now. — War Stories
