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 Mind of Evil - A Battle Against a Hidden Evil with the Master Based on the information from the transcript of the website [invalid URL doctor who mind of evil classic ON Chakoteya. net], here's a review of Doctor Who: The Mind of Evil: Story The Doctor (Second Doctor) and companions Jamie and Zoe find themselves investigating a mysterious haunted house with a connection to a satellite project. The Doctor soon uncovers a plot by the Master, the Doctor's nemesis, who is using the haunted house as a front to control minds on a global scale. Review (Limited Scope): Classic Doctor Who Rivalry: This serial features the Second Doctor facing off against the Master in a battle of wits and willpower. Fans of their dynamic might find it appealing. Psychological Horror: The story incorporates elements of psychological horror with the haunted house setting and mind control themes. Limited Character Development (Based on Summary): The transcript 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 haunted house and the mind control effects might not be as realistic by modern standards. Slow Pacing: Classic Doctor Who sometimes featured a slower narrative pace compared to modern iterations. Missing Episodes: A significant portion of this serial is missing from the BBC archives. Experiencing the complete narrative might be difficult. Overall Thoughts (Limited Scope): "The Mind of Evil" presents a confrontation between the Second Doctor and the Master with elements of psychological horror. However, the potential for dated production values, slower pacing, and missing episodes are major considerations. Would I Recommend Watching It? For Fans of Classic Doctor Who: 6/10 (Recommended for completists who are comfortable with incomplete stories and enjoy the Second Doctor era, especially his encounters with the Master) For Fans of Modern Doctor Who: 4/10 (The concept of the Master and the psychological horror elements might hold some interest, but the potential for dated effects, slower pace, and missing episodes could be significant disadvantages) Here are some additional points to consider that might help you decide: Since a large part of the serial is missing, experiencing the complete narrative might be difficult. You might find reviews based on reconstructions to get a better idea of the full story. 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 Mind of Evil". I hope this helps! While "The Mind of Evil" has elements that could be interesting for fans of the Second Doctor and the Master, the production limitations and missing episodes make it a difficult recommendation for casual viewers. -- Member - Liberal International This is doctor@nk.ca Ici doctor@nk.ca Yahweh, King & country!Never Satan President Republic!Beware AntiChrist rising!
