I loved that story, and many others in that book. <br /><br />Interesting though that the daleks managed to even take this in another direction by having Mel and co not act like usual game enemies.darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15526681809763999806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-74617975189495599682015-07-19T07:50:50.070-07:002015-07-19T07:50:50.070-07:00I wonder if you're going to review, "Secr...I wonder if you're going to review, "Secret History."Adam Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660096949244528145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-87623926330905037812015-07-14T02:29:40.853-07:002015-07-14T02:29:40.853-07:00Loved this.

While the only really aweful story of late was The Defectors and both Last of the cybermen and Secret history had a couple of flaws, this is the first absolutely rousing success sinse The Entropy plague. <br /><br />Capitalist Daleks who exploite rather than exterminate is a perfect idea and a great satyr, though I was wondering where they'd take it, and I'll say the computer game plot was quite surprising in how it developed, though I liked the mirror of the elite taking and sipping champaign while their kids and missfits got to fight a war as entertainment, another worrying observation sinse it's not just greed that makes people like Daleks. <br />I also really hope we see Celia again, sinse the Daleks with their own Maggy thatcher at the helm is a terrifying idea, I'll also say it's great to have a tough, charismatic lady villain as well. <br /><br />I always like stories that take my expectations and play with them, so at the mention of the Dalek drone fleet being so easily withdrawn I was just thinking "oh hear we go, oil up the deus ex machina" when there is actually an amusing reason why the plan is so flimsy (even if it does make the Daleks look a bit dim for not having better computer security). <br /><br />My only miner issue was with the Dalek mind control field, sinse it seemed far too convenient. I much preferd the robomen and quizlings approach we've seen in the past as the idea of people working for the Daleks because they want to like Celia is much more interesting than the idea of people being brain washed, that being said the resolution of the Dalek's fear turned up to eleven was a nice one and the Doctor's call back to Evil of the Daleks didn't feel out of place. <br /><br />Very awesome all around and I'll be interested to see where this trilogy goes.darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15526681809763999806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-36768991249766304032015-07-11T09:34:31.887-07:002015-07-11T09:34:31.887-07:00I've been looking forward to this Sylvester/Bo...I've been looking forward to this Sylvester/Bonnie trilogy for months now, glad to hear it got off to a good start. It's nice to see Big Finish finally take a break from Ace and give the 7th doctor someone new. With the notable exception of Unregenerate, I think some of Sylvester's best performances come when he's paired off with Bonnie. Here's hoping we'll her more stories from them in the near futureJimmy Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-13165194612085867822015-07-11T06:36:27.333-07:002015-07-11T06:36:27.333-07:00The monthly range has been very good of late and t...The monthly range has been very good of late and this release was no exception.
