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 Savages - A Brush with Barbarity on a Remote Planet Based on the information from the provided website [invalid URL the savages doctor who ON Chakoteya.net], here's a review of Doctor Who: The Savages: Story The Doctor, Steven, and Dodo land on a remote planet divided between two warring factions: the technologically advanced Elders and the primitive Savages. The Doctor finds himself caught in the middle of this conflict, questioning concepts of civilisation and savagery. He must try to mediate between the two sides and prevent further violence. Review (Based on Summary) Exploration of Social Commentary: The serial appears to tackle themes of civilization versus savagery, raising questions about perception and evolution. This could add an interesting layer of social commentary to the narrative. Moral Dilemma: The Doctor finds himself in a position where both sides have valid arguments, creating a moral dilemma as he tries to find a peaceful resolution. Classic Who's Limited Resources: The summary mentions the use of costumes to represent the Savages, which might seem dated by modern standards of special effects. Possible Weaknesses (Considering Limited Information): Slow Pacing in Classic Who: Classic Doctor Who sometimes featured a slower narrative pace compared to modern iterations. Limited Companion Roles: The summary doesn't detail much about Steven and Dodo's roles in the narrative. Overall Thoughts (Limited Scope) "The Savages" presents a thought-provoking premise that challenges ideas of civilisation and savagery. The Doctor's role as a mediator in a complex conflict adds intrigue. Would I Recommend Watching It? For Fans of Classic Doctor Who: 6/10 (Likely worth watching especially if you enjoy stories with social commentary and moral dilemmas) For Fans of Modern Doctor Who: 4/10 (The exploration of ideas might be interesting, but the slower pace, limited companion roles, and potentially dated special effects 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 Savages". 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!
