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: Fury from the Deep - A Second Doctor Adventure with the Sea Silurians Based on the information from the website [invalid URL doctor who fury from the deep ON Chakoteya.net], here's a review of Doctor Who: Fury from the Deep: Story The TARDIS materializes on an oil rig in the North Sea. The Doctor (Second Doctor) and companions Jamie and Victoria discover an intelligent reptilian humanoid race called the Silurians living beneath the sea. The Silurians are in conflict with humans drilling for oil, and the narrative follows the Doctor's efforts to prevent war between the two species. Review (Based on Summary): Unique Monsters: The Silurians offer a different kind of threat compared to Daleks or Cybermen. This could be interesting for fans who want variety in their villains. Underwater Setting: The story takes place on an oil rig and explores the undersea environment, providing a unique backdrop. Limited Character Development (Based on Summary): The summary doesn't detail much about the development of the Doctor, Jamie, or Victoria 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 Silurians and the underwater setting might not be realistic by modern standards. Slow Pacing: Classic Doctor Who sometimes featured a slower narrative pace compared to modern iterations. Overall Thoughts (Limited Scope): "Fury from the Deep" presents a unique monster in the Silurians and a distinctive underwater setting. This could be appealing for fans looking for a departure from usual Doctor Who enemies and environments. However, the potential for dated production values 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 don't mind less common enemies. The underwater setting adds interest) For Fans of Modern Doctor Who: 4/10 (The unique monster and setting 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 Silurians and the underwater setting. 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 "Fury from the Deep". I hope this helps! While "Fury from the Deep" has unique elements, the potential for dated production values is a consideration, especially for new viewers. -- Member - Liberal International This is doctor@nk.ca Ici doctor@nk.ca Yahweh, King & country!Never Satan President Republic!Beware AntiChrist rising!
