XPost: rec.arts.drwho, uk.media.tv.sf.drwho, rec.arts.sf.tv XPost: rec.arts.tv From: doctor@doctor.nl2k.ab.ca Doctor Who: The Gunfighters - A Historical Showdown in Tombstone Based on the information from the provided website [invalid URL the gunfighters doctor who ON Chakoteya.net], here's a review of Doctor Who: The Gunfighters: Story The TARDIS materializes in the American Wild West town of Tombstone in 1878. The Doctor, Steven, and Dodo encounter Doc Holliday, a real-life historical figure, and get caught in a conflict with a ruthless cattle baron named Leatherbarrow. The serial explores themes of justice, friendship, and the Doctor's influence on historical events. Review (Based on Summary) Historical Setting: "The Gunfighters" takes viewers back to a fascinating period in American history, offering a glimpse into the Wild West. Real-Life Historical Figure: The inclusion of Doc Holliday adds a layer of historical intrigue and raises questions about the Doctor's interaction with real people. Classic Western Themes: The serial appears to explore classic Western themes like justice, friendship, and showdowns, providing a familiar yet intriguing backdrop for the Doctor's adventures. Possible Weaknesses (Considering Limited Information): Accuracy of Historical Events: Classic Doctor Who often took liberties with historical accuracy. The depiction of the Wild West and Doc Holliday might not be entirely faithful to history. Limited Companion Roles: The summary doesn't detail much about Steven and Dodo's roles in the narrative. Slow Pacing in Classic Who: Classic Doctor Who sometimes featured a slower narrative pace compared to modern iterations. Overall Thoughts (Limited Scope) "The Gunfighters" offers a unique blend of science fiction and Western genre, set against the backdrop of a pivotal historical period. The involvement of a real-life figure like Doc Holliday adds another layer of interest. Would I Recommend Watching It? For Fans of Classic Doctor Who: 6/10 (Likely worth watching especially if you enjoy historical settings and classic Western themes) For Fans of Modern Doctor Who: 4/10 (The historical setting might be interesting, but the slower pace, potential inaccuracy, and less focus on companions could be drawbacks) Here are some additional points to consider that might help you decide: If possible, try to find reviews of the entire serial for a more complete picture. Classic Doctor Who had a different style than the modern series. If you're new to classic Who, consider watching earlier stories featuring the First Doctor to get a feel for the era's aesthetics and storytelling before diving into "The Gunfighters". If historical accuracy is important to you, you might want to research the depiction of the Wild West and Doc Holliday in the serial to manage your expectations. I hope this helps! If you can find more information about the entire serial, I can provide a more comprehensive review. -- Member - Liberal International This is doctor@nk.ca Ici doctor@nk.ca Yahweh, King & country!Never Satan President Republic!Beware AntiChrist rising!
