Time Lord Victorious


Comic: Defender Of The Daleks


As with the Monstrous Beauty comic, I didn’t buy this at the time, so again I’m viewing some rather well done YouTube videos.


The Tenth Doctor wakes up on the TARDIS floor with a bit of amnesia, outside are the Daleks. Not wanting to g to hang a round he quickly dematerialises, however when he lands the Daleks are present -its not really his day, what’s worse is that wherever and whenever he lands the Daleks are always there. With the daleks having no memory of the Time War, there’s a paradox going on…


The story is interesting enough, avoiding the Daleks, giving in and working with them, a monster is introduced etc.  There is some background info on the Dalek strategist and why its still in its old battered casing. One of the things I can say about the various parts of the TLV series is that certain details are explained. Making each part have a place in the whole.


It was a bit unclear as to why this was a paradox, possibly its part of a another story in the comic range that, in not being a reader of them, I’ve missed. The Doctor making everything right with virtually a simple wave of the sonic is a little unsatisfying. 


Slight spoile,r but the 13 Doctor turns up here briefly, with the Reality War only a couple of weeks ago, where she did the same thing, its almost as if they stole the idea. But as with that its a nice bonus.


The Hond turn up in this story, these are from the Dark times. Also the entity from the Daleks! Webcast was a slave of the Hond. The Eaglemoss short story The Restoration Empire, goes into more detail and helps to explain the bigger arc, that the Daleks need the Doctor go go back to the Dark Times. Failing to keep the Tenth Doctor, this ends with them considering an earlier version, that being the Eighth, which leads nicely into the Audios.


A good story.

The Founding Fathers                                                       The Companion Chronicles  The First Doctor 1.3                                         Steven’s grand daughter takes him to visit the Doctor, yet its not the actual Doctor. There they tell a story of an adventure they once had where they met Benjamin Franklin. So perhaps a little more unusual, in that what’s happening with the current Steven is as, if not more interesting, as the story that’s being narrated. The narrated story tells of the TARDIS arriving in Leicester in 1762. With it being quite warm, the Doctor takes off his coat and throws to back into the TARDIS inadvertently locking the crew out. Getting back in is a little tricky and the only man that can help is Benjamin...

Power Game  Doctor Who the Monthly Range 248b Kamelion has been missing for three weeks, its York, the 1980’s and that’s just the beginning. This hits the ground running, but not only has Kamelion gone but now they’ve lost Tegan as well. Tegan herself finds she’s on a TV gameshow, how she got there is a bit of a mystery as she no idea how shearrived. The show pops up at various times on different channels in the middle of other programs. It’s a good start, no faffing about and with this a two parter that’s probably a good idea. The Tv show gives contestants challenges, when they fail they’re out, interestingly enough there are no prizes, and the contestants soon forget about their real lives.  It’ll be no surprise that the gameshow isn’t real and is a veneer for what’s really going on. We’ve had stories such as this before so you know what the deal is and you’re waiting for the big reveal. The Doctor and Turlough happen to find someone else who was taken by the game, and set t...

The Quest of the Engineer                                     The Fourth Doctor Adventures 9.4                                               On a planet that reconfigures it surface, the Doctor, Romana, Adric and K9 are seeking info on a CVE. They encounter the ‘Engineer’ who is also interested in CVE’s, though there is more to him and the planet than at first seems. I had to check that I had started with part one, as it begins with Adic having been arrested for taking K9 though the streets where technology is forbidden. They meet Rigis Tel played by George Layton (perhaps more noted in DW circles as being the Space pirates) and go on to find the truth about the planet. As for the plot… Well it is tempting to say what plot. The planet is… mild spoiler… a giant space ship. Being a Hitch...
