Review of The Korven by VoRus1

19 May 2025

K9 farts in this one. Audibly. And Starky laughs about it

They did my boy K9 so dirty...

1/10

But in all seriousness, I kinda enjoyed watching it. It's pretty bad, the costumes are hilarious, the acting is hammy and unnatural but it's fun to look at this. I'm also afraid I have an idea about what will be the standard formula for this whole series. An alien arrives from that Professor's thing, and the company gotta stop it. K9 is disabled for some time, but then restores its power and saves the day

Would like to be proven wrong though

Review of Brave-ish Heart by VoRus1

13 May 2025

This was honestly a very solid episode with a fittingly epic vibe (I'm kinda surprised this wasn't a finale, definently feels like one)

I'm not sure about all that stuff with April's family, their relationship feel a little underdeveloped, but there were some touching moments with them

Also - Charlie and Miss Quill had a very interesting dynamic here, I'm looking forward to see where are they going

Very cool 'Next Time' teaser - I think I'll love the next episode, especially because of the pretty high Tardis Guide scrore and the fact that it seems to be a botle episode which will flesh out our characters a bit more

Review of The Time Ravagers by VoRus1

28 April 2025

This first story with Nicholas Briggs's Nth Doctor is very much alike to Brigg's later scripts so if you like them - you will quite enjoy this. If not... Well, you won't

The story takes a lot of time to get moving but the Temperon is a fascinating character, and the Daleks (voiced by none other than Michael Wisher) are marvellous

Character dynamic between Nadia and Fred (Doctor's companions) reminded me of good old Power of the Daleks (wonder whether this was intentional or not - after all, The Time Ravagers is also a post-regeneration story featuring the evil pepper pots). The trio from the ship is also very reminicent to many classic Who supporting characters

Review of Invasion of the Dinosaurs by VoRus1

26 April 2025

Malcolm Hulke's final script for Doctor Who is a certified banger. Delightful story, very reminicent of The Ambassadors of Death which is a very high mark for me. Dinosaurs are so great, it's crazy - i know everyone says they look cheap but i do not care, they were brilliant, just like a kaiju movie

Peak of TV Comics. (No it's not because of the fact that the first chapter of this story came out on my birthday what are you talking about)

Review of Doctor Who (The TV Movie) by VoRus1

31 March 2025

Doctor Who is a 1996 motion picture based on the long-running sci-fi show Doctor Who. It is directed by Geoffrey Sax and stars Paul McGunn as a dazzling new Eight Doctor

The film tells the story of how the freshly-regenerated Doctor tries to rescue his time travelling machine called the TARDIS from another Time Lord the Master played by Eric Roberts. His companion for this film is a doctor Grace Holloway who helps him to regain his memory

This film is a delightful watch to any fan of the programme, but it also can be a good starting point for people who have never seen the famous TV show. The perfomances, especially Eric Roberts', are hilariously campy, and the new opening theme is a marvellous rendition of the classic tune. This film quite literally screams that it was produced in the 90s, and if you love this era of films and television then you'll certainly enjoy the movie. The screenplay by Matthew Jacobs is perfectly serviceable except for one infamous line that divides the whole fandom till this day (I won't say which line exactly, but if you know you know)

Overall, Doctor Who is a masterpiece in eyes of many fans who sometimes consider it to be a comfort watch and especially nice way to celebrate New Year's Eve, but casual viewers can also enjoy this film. I definently recommend it to everyone

Review of Image of the Fendahl by VoRus1

7 March 2025

Chris Boucher is really one of the greatest Who writers huh. Absolutely adore gothic horror vibes in the last two episodes (I wasn't particularly impressed by first two episodes, but they made a REALLY good job at the end of the serial imo)

Review of Dalek War Chapter 1 by VoRus1

4 March 2025

Wow, I'm the first reviewer of this story! This review will be kinda experimental cause I will write my thoughts on the story while listening to it. So it's more like an initial reaction than a review

The episode's beginning feels like a nice way to re-introduce listeners to the overall plot. Not exactly fresh start but a solid entry point nevertheless. Also probably one of the most grand Daleks' plans

The Mentor is an interesting new character. Really like her robotic yet human-like voice. Feels soothing in a way

While listening to these Dalek stories I found out I really like all the clicking 'sci-fi' sounds lol

Decided to randomly browse TARDIS.Guide and realized Nicholas Briggs wrote literally every story in this spin-off. Wow. That's dedication I guess

Gareth Thomas as Kalendorf is certainly a highlight of the whole series from an acting standpoint

Yes, hallucinations (or not)! Doubts about the reality of story's events! Love this stuff

Btw I will correct myself from earlier and say that The Mentor is a true highlight of this episode in particular

Again, the themes of a story (especially this thin line between something and something... I will need to edit the review because I forgot what I wanted to write)

LOVE the twist (not exactly huge but it adds a curious element to Susan) near the end. Feels creepy in a way that every Dalek story should be imo

The music is so 2000s coded I really appreciate it

Wow a trailer in the end

In conclusion I can say that this is a pretty solid episode. I'm excited for next chapters of the story but I'll definently have at lest a week-long break before listening to them because I don't want to go mad from hearing so many Dalek voices. Also writing this review simultaneously with listening to it was an interesting experience maybe I'll try it again

Well, I guess that's everything I was going to say. Really hope I didn't forget to do something that I intended to do...

P.S. Sorry for a non-funny 'joke' near the end I just couldn't help myself

Review of Exile by VoRus1

14 February 2025

It's usually really hard to make me hate a story. I am one of those people who think that 'every Doctor Who story is someone's favourite' (but if anyone thinks this is their favourite Doctor Who story - no offence)

But... This is just sexist

My anarchist nature likes that Theta Sigma is described as an anarchist by the Time Lords but that's literally the only positive thing I can say about this story

First ½ rating from me. Never thought I'll do it

Review of Day One by VoRus1

4 January 2025

Look, I like laughing. And this episode is a great comedy for an asexual person. Don't trying to offend anyone but I just can't imagine the same happening to me. Although, again, this is too funny for me and I simply can't give anything this hilarious a rating lower than 10/10
