XPost: rec.arts.drwho, rec.arts.sf.tv, rec.arts.tv XPost: uk.media.tv.sf.drwho From: doctor@doctor.nl2k.ab.ca Based on the information available from the transcript of the website [invalid URL doctor who inferno ON Chakoteya.net], here's a review of Doctor Who: Inferno: Story (Based on Summary): The Doctor (Third Doctor) and companion Jo Grant arrive on Earth and find themselves caught in a conflict between a multinational company drilling deeper than ever before into the Earth's crust and an ancient race called the Silurians who dwell underground. The Doctor must avert disaster as the drilling risks awakening the Silurians and triggering a war. Review (Limited Scope): Classic Encounter: "Inferno" features the return of the Silurians, previously encountered by the Third Doctor in "Doctor Who and the Silurians." Fans familiar with these reptilian humanoids might enjoy their reappearance. Environmental Allegory: The story can be interpreted as an allegory for the dangers of unchecked industrialism and human exploitation of the environment. Limited Character Development (Based on Summary): The transcript doesn't provide details about the development of the Doctor or Jo Grant 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 subterranean setting 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): "Inferno" brings back the Silurians for another confrontation with the Third Doctor and presents an allegorical environmental message. However, the potential for dated production values, slower pacing, and limited character development are considerations. Would I Recommend Watching It? For Fans of Classic Doctor Who: 7/10 (Recommended for fans of the Third Doctor era who enjoy the Silurians and stories with environmental themes. Be prepared for the limitations of classic Who) For Fans of Modern Doctor Who: 5/10 (The return of the Silurians and the environmental message might hold some interest, but the potential for dated effects, slower pace, and less character focus could be disadvantages) Here are some additional points to consider that might help you decide: If possible, try to find reviews that discuss the visual representation of the Silurians and the subterranean setting. This can help you gauge how appealing it might be for you. Consider watching "Doctor Who and the Silurians" first to understand the history between the Doctor and these reptilian humanoids if you're unfamiliar with them. I hope this helps! While "Inferno" has elements that could be interesting for classic Doctor Who fans, the production limitations might be a factor to consider, especially for viewers more accustomed to the modern series. -- Member - Liberal International This is doctor@nk.ca Ici doctor@nk.ca Yahweh, King & country!Never Satan President Republic!Beware AntiChrist rising!
