Review of Harry Sullivan by Shayleen

29 June 2025

Just a brief recap of Revenge of the Cybermen. A couple of jokes and in Harry's style of speech, but there's nothing much here really.

Review of The Resurrection Casket by Shayleen

6 June 2025

This review contains spoilers!

The Resurrection Casket is an excellent example of a strong, solid Doctor Who story, that is entertaining, moves along quickly, has good antagonists, but also doesn't particularly amaze but it's just a solidly written bundle of fun, one which I can see myself rereading as it was simply that, fun. I did find the plot somewhat predictable and had guessed some of the twists a while beforehand but that did not subtract from my enjoyment, and all the side characters are entertaining. The world is nicely fleshed out, and I was somewhat surprised we never got to the mystery of the zeg, but I also like that it is left a mystery, builds the world nicely. I also love the conclusions for all the characters, I feel it all wraps up nicely.

A solid 8/10.

Review of The Chase by Shayleen

5 June 2025

This review contains spoilers!

The Chase is literally a chase across 6 episodes, and it's great fun. The variety of locations and characters visited is great and refreshing, keeping the adventure evolving in different directions. The Daleks unfortunately come off a bit weak here, but the journey is well worth watching.

Review of Tardisode 11 by Shayleen

This review contains spoilers!

This is a great one. It knows it's not serious at all and just runs with the joke, a great minute that really made me smile.

Review of Tardisode 9 by Shayleen

4 June 2025

This review contains spoilers!

One of the better Tardisodes, this one is still too short but manages to have atmosphere and show an effective scene relating to the episode, giving us more of the Beasts creepy power on display.

Review of Tardisode 6 by Shayleen

4 June 2025

This review contains spoilers!

One of the worse Tardisodes as nothing happens. Others give interesting glimpses before the story happens whereas this is just some poorly commected scenes of cybermen with no real purpose unfortunately.

Review of The Infinite Quest by Shayleen

4 June 2025

This review contains spoilers!

While The Inifinite Quest does not have the strongest story, it does give us some wonderfully alien and ambitious visuals that the show would struggle to do. The alien worlds and species, space sections, Caw, these look fantastic. The animation can be a bit basic and limited at times but I don't think it subtracts much, and the vocal performances are good enough all around. Originally told in multiple segments and then spliced together into a 45 minute adventure, the story is not the greatest, but this is an interesting oddity for TV who that I think certainly deserves a view and is sadly forgotten and overlooked too often.

Review of Younger and Wiser by Shayleen

29 May 2025

This review contains spoilers!

A lovely followup to Are You Listening?, these form a wonderful short story that I'd ultimately about hope and life, and I love that this is a story with no real conflict, unique and beautiful.

Review of Are You Listening? by Shayleen

29 May 2025

This review contains spoilers!

I found Are You Listening? A stunningly beautiful 4 page story. Sure it's simple and half the full story, but it conveyed a real sense of tragedy and melancholy of this poor intelligence being alone and it's only hope failing because communication was unsuccessful. A wonderful 4 pages.

Review of The Man in the Ion Mask by Shayleen

28 May 2025

This review contains spoilers!

A great little piece of character interaction. Not a lot happens and the Doctor obviously wins, but it's an enjoyable few pages of the Doctor and the Master being rivals.

Review of Monstrous Beauty by Shayleen

28 May 2025

This review contains spoilers!

Monstrous Beauty is simple and fun. A glance into the dark times, early gallifrey with the First Rassilon here and vampires in a powerful state of being. Not a lot happens but it's a nice look at this period. I enjoyed Androkan, the most interesting side character in this story and an interesting rivalry with Rassilon.

Review of Buyer’s Remorse by Shayleen

22 May 2025

This review contains spoilers!

Buyer's Remorse is a wonderfully fun little story to end on, some continuity references typical of Russell and a great little cameo and full of moments that actually made me laugh, I feel this is one of the best stories in the collection and one I can see myself revisiting one day.

Review of Normality by Shayleen

22 May 2025

This review contains spoilers!

Normality is a sweet and nice character piece for Clara, giving us a glimpse into her early teaching days at Coal Hill while she's still with Eleven. We have part adventure in space and then part normal school day with some meaningful reflection on life and purpose. One of the better short stories collected here.

Review of Music of the Spheres by Shayleen

23 April 2025

This review contains spoilers!

A cute little piece of inconsequential fun, definitely most exciting to whoever saw it live but it's still fun to watch and Ten has a lovely few words on the importance of music and how we all have some inside us.

Review of Rise of the Eukaryans by Shayleen

22 April 2025

This review contains spoilers!

Rise of the Eukaryans is a short, silly story, but wonderfully fun and captures the vibe of the Eleventh Doctors era well. It's just the sort of nonsense this era would have, the sort of adventure that the Doctor would describe in a throw away joke but here it is in all, just pure fun.

Review of Emancipation of the Daleks by Shayleen

22 April 2025

This review contains spoilers!

Emancipation of the Daleks is a superb story. It manages to make us feel a degree of sympathy for the Daleks, it has a wonderfully dark and bleak dystopia future, one we get to see not only at it's height  but also how it unfolded. The time travel is done extremely well here, the twists and turns through out and also the conclusion so that it is not simply undone as such by the end. Of course things go back to normal, but the explanation for the whole story is great. Dan Starkey provides wonderful narration and does a great Capaldi and he captures the Bills well too. Definitely an excellent addition to Twelves era from Big Finish in this release.

Review of Eden Rebellion by Shayleen

22 April 2025

This review contains spoilers!

Eden Rebellion is interesting in that it creates a very alien world and culture, very different to simply humans on another planet or say dog people on a planet, not that there's anything wrong with those, but here it's nice to get a fleshed out and truly alien feeling world to explore, full of it's own lore, Falase clearly having put much thought into it. My real issue is that it is a bit boring, and took me a while to finish, but Fifteen and Ruby are written well and it's an interesting world so makes for a good read at least once.

Review of The Everlasting Summer by Shayleen

11 April 2025

This review contains spoilers!

The Everlasting Summer is a short, sweet and I think beautiful end to Thirteens DWM run. The first few strips I found really good but these last ones a lot weaker, but this is a lovely if simple story about the necessity of embracing change and I think ends on a beautiful panel. It has some funny moments and the aliens have nice designs, and one of the few EU Dan stories, this is a great conclusion to Thirteens era.

Review of Fear of the Future by Shayleen

9 April 2025

This review contains spoilers!

A charming little issue with the team enjoying a relaxing beach day, and no monster or villain, just a malfunctioning piece of technological causing the issues. 6 pages are far too brief for single issue stories but this one is a lovely slice of normality.

Review of Dr. Who & the Mechonoids by Shayleen

9 April 2025

This review contains spoilers!

A cute little side step into the Cushing Doctor, this is an enjoyable, if brief and quite rushed single issue comic. The art is lovely and it's a joy to see this incarnation in an adventure, and the idea of the mechonoids is appropriate for this Doctor to encounter.

Review of Secret of Arkatron by Shayleen

3 April 2025

This review contains spoilers!

A decent short story with a bit of generic haunted house atmosphere, it has a couple of nice moments but is quite basic.

Review of The Instruments of War by Shayleen

1 April 2025

This review contains spoilers!

Twelves second DWM strip is a large scale story, featuring an interesting mix of nazis, sontarans and a rutan. Big and fun with some lovely art, some really good visuals here. The story moves quickly being only three strips long and doesn't drag.

Review of The Time of the Daleks by Shayleen

28 March 2025

This review contains spoilers!

The Time of the Daleks is one of the most boring Doctor Who stories I have ever experienced. It has some interesting ideas, Daleks quoting Shakespeare is an experience and this is Paul McGanns first audio adventure with them, but the story is unfortunately extreme uninteresting and not very good. Richards is normally a good writer but this is one of his few misses.

Review of Everyone Must Go! by Shayleen

28 March 2025

This review contains spoilers!

Everyone Must Go is one of the stronger Titan comics, featuring interesting art, a good script, and an interesting new villain who will hopefully return. Fifteen and Ruby are characterised well and each get some good moments, the story slots very nicely into series 1 and the cybermen are used well. A great start to Fifteens comics!
