David McK (3207 KP) rated Doctor Who: Engines of War in Books
Aug 19, 2023
The War Doctor.
A previously unknown incarnation of the Time Lord known only as The Doctor, as portrayed by John Hurt in the Dr Who 50th anniversary special 'the Day of the Doctor' in 2013 during Matt Smith's tenure as The Doctor (and with David Tennant also reprising his role as the same character).
The War Doctor refers to the fact that *this* incarnation participated in the Time War, a fundamental part of the backstory of Nu-Who, between the Daleks and the Time Lords.
Its also open to interpretation whether the Engines of War of the title here are those Daleks, or the various TARDIS's used by the Time Lords during this story, which itself is largely split into 3 segments: part 1 on the planet Moldox (which the Daleks have conquered, and where the Doctor meets his new companion for this story), part 2 on Gallifrey (the home of the Time Lords), and part 3 in the space above Moldox, in the Tantalus Eye.
The result is something that is generally light-weight enough: solid if not spectacular. But, then again, that could probably apply to just about every extended universe tie in there is!

The ReBirth of Doctor who
Wether your a old doctor who fan or new to the show Christopher Eccleston performance launched the new generation of Doctor who to a much wider audience across the world. Bille Piper performance as Rose is relatable and bring humour to counter Eccelstons sterner side.
Show runners Russel T Davies and Stephan Moffat make a great team with Moffat being a great writer to invoke your inner fears the monsters he creates are top notch and Russel T Davies keeps the series well run and created thw Arc structure that Moffat fails at in later series.
Not to mention it always good to have cybermen darleck back on our tv screens

I have watched Doctor Who scence season 9. ( My husband longer) and we never missed an episode. But this time around we just couldn't get through it. The story lines were half the time mediocre at best. Jodi Whitiker is a good actress and I know she had to work with what the writers give her so I don't blame her for how the season turned out. It just didn't seem ti have the same Doctor Who feel to it.

Watching as part of the 60th anniversary of doctor who rewatch anyway the show if anyone were to watch this who they think hang on this seems familiar it is it was remade as dalek invasion 2150 with Peter cushing as the doctor the plot is the same except for one thing the movie doesn't do this is the doctors granddaughter Susan's last appearance for 20 years. One of the best parts of the story is seeing daleks moving around London landmarks like Westminster Bridge. Overall good story
