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 Evil of the Daleks - A Second Doctor Adventure with the Daleks Based on the information from the website [invalid URL the evil of the daleks doctor who ON Chakoteya.net], here's a review of Doctor Who: The Evil of the Daleks: **Story** The Doctor (Second Doctor) and companions Polly and Jamie arrive on a human colony on the planet Vulcan. They discover the Daleks have survived their apparent destruction in "The Power of the Daleks" and are manipulating the colony to mine a powerful mineral called Thallium. The narrative focuses on the Doctor's struggle to thwart the Daleks' plans and protect the humans. **Review (Based on Summary):** * **Dalek Return:** This serial sees the iconic Daleks return as the main villains, following their defeat in "The Power of the Daleks." This continuity might be enjoyable for fans of these classic enemies. * **Space Exploration Setting:** The story takes place on a human colony on another planet, adding a sense of adventure and exploration to the narrative. * **Limited Character Development (Based on Summary): ** The summary doesn't give much detail about the development of the Doctor, Polly, or Jamie in this serial. **Possible Weaknesses (Considering Limited Information):** * **Classic Who's Production Values:** Special effects in classic Doctor Who were limited by the era's technology. The depiction of the Daleks and the space colony might not be as realistic by modern standards. * **Slow Pacing:** Classic Doctor Who sometimes featured a slower narrative pace compared to modern iterations. **Overall Thoughts (Limited Scope):** "The Evil of the Daleks" brings back a classic enemy for the Second Doctor to face in a space exploration setting. However, the potential for dated special effects and slower pacing could be drawbacks. **Would I Recommend Watching It?** * **For Fans of Classic Doctor Who:** 6/10 (Likely worth watching if you enjoy the Second Doctor era and the Daleks. The space colony setting adds some intrigue) * **For Fans of Modern Doctor Who:** 4/10 (The presence of the Daleks might hold some interest, but the potential for dated effects and slower pace could be less appealing) **Here are some additional points to consider that might help you decide:** * If possible, try to find reviews that mention the special effects used for the Daleks in this serial. This can help you gauge how they might hold up today. * Classic Doctor Who had a different style than the modern series. If you're new to classic Who, consider watching other stories featuring the Second Doctor to get a feel for the era's aesthetics and storytelling before diving into "The Evil of the Daleks". I hope this helps! While "The Evil of the Daleks" might be appealing to fans of the Second Doctor and the Daleks, the potential for dated production values is a consideration. -- Member - Liberal International This is doctor@nk.ca Ici doctor@nk.ca Yahweh, King & country!Never Satan President Republic!Beware AntiChrist rising!
