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 Dominators - A Second Doctor Adventure with Robotic Threats Based on the information from the website [invalid URL the dominators doctor who ON Chakoteya.net], here's a review of Doctor Who: The Dominators: Story The TARDIS lands on the peaceful planet Dulkis. The Doctor (Second Doctor), Jamie, and Zoe find themselves in the midst of an invasion by the ruthless Dominators, alien beings who use their robot servants, the Quarks, to exploit planets for resources. The Doctor must work with the pacifist Dhulcians to resist the Dominators and save their planet. Review (Based on Summary): Unique Villains: This serial introduces the Dominators and their Quark robots as the antagonists. This could be interesting for fans who want a departure from regular enemies like Daleks or Cybermen. Pacifist Challenge: The story presents a unique challenge for the Doctor, as he must help a pacifist population defend themselves. Limited Character Development (Based on Summary): The summary doesn't give much detail about the development of the Doctor, Jamie, or Zoe 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 Dominators and the Quarks 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 Dominators" presents unique villains in the Dominators and their robots, along with the challenge of helping a pacifist society. This could be appealing for fans looking for a different kind of Doctor Who adventure. However, the potential for dated production values and slower pacing could be drawbacks. Would I Recommend Watching It? For Fans of Classic Doctor Who: 5/10 (Only recommended if you're comfortable with the aesthetics of classic Who and enjoy the Second Doctor era. The unique villains and pacifist aspect might be interesting) For Fans of Modern Doctor Who: 3/10 (The concepts of the Dominators and a pacifist challenge might hold some interest, but the potential for dated effects and slower pace could be significant disadvantages) 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 Dominators and the Quarks. 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 Dominators". I hope this helps! While "The Dominators" 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!
