Doctor Who NS3 E6 - The Lazarus Experiment

7.25/10 or 3.625/5



Why?



Beginning: Suppose this is the farewell for Martha Jones

Until the Doctor gets involved with the 'change

in humanity'.



Body: This is twisted. Richard Lazarus has to please both the

potential invetors and the mysterious Mr. Saxon.



2 plots: Saxon gets Mrs Jones on his side saying the

Doctor is dangerous.



Saxon using supposed Time Lord Technology

suckered Lazarus into doing this.



Sounds like a masterly plot.



Easy to get into but close attention has to be paid with

to Man in Black seducing Mrs Jones.



Still Lazarus is a victim of his greed and blinded by hubris.

Mrs. Lazarus is like a Lady MacBeth and is doomed as such.



Still the Doctor's solution does work and to Saxon's credit

he covers the greater danger.



Conclusion:



Martha is off with the Doctor and Mrs Jones is

worried about Martha based on Norman Saxon's 'information'.

Doctor Who NS3 E5 - Evolution of the Daleks

8/10



Both Daleks in Manhattan and Evolution of the Daleks 8/10.



This brings back a lot of memory.



The Dalek Human factor, seen in Dalek invasion

of Earth, Evil of the Daleks and even Genesis

work well here.



Dalek Sec is one with the human he merged with.



With the Dalek survival on the line , the Doctor

decides to be a distraction and frees the captives.



They all escape. 2 Daleks from the Cult question

Sec's authority. Similar to anyone

questioning Davros in Genesis. (I love flashbacks).



Hooverville and the battle begins. First the pig slaves

then the Daleks. Solomon offers peace only to get

killed and then the Doctor is next.



Sec orders his fellow cult members not to destroy the Doctor.



Note already the Daleks are questioning Sec and this

order from Sec must be causing doubt.

This reminds me of Genesis of the Daleks.



So the Doctor is carried to Sec and MArtha has the psychic

paper. A trio makes for the Empire State Building

and Sec describes the ultimate plan to the Doctor.



So the Daleks want to infuse humans with merged cells,

or will that happen? The 3 Daleks arrest Sec

and the Doctor.



The Doctor and Laslo escapes. The Battle is on.



The Doctor did delay the development of the Daleks in Genesis.

He does so this time with the lightning strike.



The final Battle is to confront Dalek elements in Manhattan.



Again the Doctor dares the Daleks to kill him, only

to see Sec, 2 members of the cult getting killed as well as the

Dalekified humans.



The Doctor confront Dalek Khan and Khan does the

Emergency Temporal Shift.



Laslo is rescued by the Doctor

and Hoverville is back at peace.

Doctor Who NS3 Episode 4 - Daleks in Manhatten

8.5/10 .



This marries traditional Doctor Who values and

new special effects and does leave you wanting more.



Setting is New York November 1930

(When did the Nazis get seats in the Bundestag again?)



Still Depression USA.



The start, back stage at a theatre. The star and a stagehand

are making out.



The stagehand notices a weird movement. Locked

in a room he confronts a weird now hybrid menace.



Stage is set.



The Doctor and Martha turns up in 20th Century New York.

Vague historical references to New Amsterdam (comedy device)

until Martha picks up the Paper dated 1 Nov 1930 and

Notes the Headline about Hooverville.



The Doctor and Martha decides to investigate and meets Solomon

and Frank; Solomon is the leader of Hooverville, a slum city

in Manhattan's Central PArk, and asks about the Empire State

Building (ESB) being built yet many starve in the early Days of the Depression.



Meanwhile as the ESB is being build, there is a quarrel

with the boss and a lead foreman. The 'owners' are summoned

and the foreman is about to change and in the meantime

The Boss reassures the Dalek about work being completed in a timely manner.



The Doctor, MArtha, Solomon and Frank volunteer to clean

the sewers. In the sewer the group finds no blockage

and just an organic creature. Suddenly weird sounds can be heard

and the group run into pig-human pigslave hybrids!



The Daleks meantime invite the boss to meet Sec the main Dalek.

Sec and the Human merges.



The Doctor and company find a ladder out with ouly

Frank captured. Solomon, The Doctor and MArtha meets

up with Lululah, the main star looking for her friend Lazlo.



Solomon goes back to Hooverville for a call to arms.



The Doctor examines the specimen and discover its Skaran origins.



Martha comes on stage in the back and notices a pigman

not exactly completed, points it out to the troup and gives chase.



The Doctor tried to find Martha and a scream is heard as

Martha is captured .



The Doctor and Lululah gives chase.



The Doctor and Lululah finds a Dalek in the picture,

then confronts Lazlo. Despite the failure in

completion, Lazlo feels he can no longer love Lululah.



Finally the Doctor and Lazlo decides to go to the

lab and Lululah is lost.



The Doctor gets Martha to demand what is going on.



The finale and cliffhanger:



Emerge the new Dalek-human hybrid!



I cannot wait to see Evolution of the Daleks.







Doctor Who NS3 E3 - Gridlock

6/10 .



Summary Macra Terror millenia after the fact.



Start A family is trapped in the motorway and

simply disappear with only the comfort of Sally Calypso

to listen to. (Doesn't Mum and Dad look like

American Gothic?)



Enter the Doctor and Martha. The Doctor was describing

Gallifrey to her except doesn't this sound like Susan

describing Gallifrey to Ian and Barbara? Really!



Still The Doctor materialises just a few years after New Earth

with and Bo want to meet him (why?).



The Doctor and Martha finds themselves in pharmacy town.

MArtha is correct about mood / drugs. The daughter of the

couple purchases forgetfulness about her parents' death

and the Doctor could not get his protest in time.



Suddenly out of nowhere Martha is kidnapped

by a man and woman. The Doctor tries to give chase

but cannot catch up.



NExt the Doctor find himself onto a polluted motorway.

Luckily enough he meets a cat man and woman

(Ag you criticism is correct about catman,

woman and children - Alternative lifestyles).



So why would anyone run a highway system like this -

3 per vehicle on the fast lane with many junctions locked out

and travlleing miles per years?



The Doctor joins on as a hitchhiker and then begins his

assessment of the situation. The good Catman

tries to help at first with the lesbian couple letting the

Doctor know about the Pharmacy Town stolen vehicle

going into the fast lane.



A broadvast of sorry and the Old Rugged Cross Hymn coming

on Aitr? Excuse me RTD, but the Old Rugged Cross of

Christ's Ultimate Sacrifice and Love in this context

just does not cut it!



MArtha may have to get use to living with her kidnappers

for some years and the Doctor does not have time for this.



So the Doctor desides to descend as quick as possible.



The cat comes after the Doctor.



What an interesting meet up with car conducters.

At the end, he find an ancient enemy, the Macra!



In fact the Macra did take out one car with

2 children and a cat lady- Mean old crabs.

Martha's car is the only one ready to meet the challenge

after Martha's sermon on faith.



Finally the Cat nun captures the Doctor and brings him

to the Dying Bo.



BO and the nun example the situation as a whole

and why the Senate declared New Earth under quarantine.



With the Marca the real culprits behind this act,

the Doctor decide as quickly as possible to open

up the roads. (Hopefully the macra are done for good).



This unclutters the gridlock and let the traffic flow freely.



In the End Bo reveals his secret of not being the

only Time Lorda and Martha finally decides to

confront the Doctor as to who he really is.



On a tearjerker backdrop of Abide with Me,

The Doctor talks to MArtha about the Time Wars.



Still this is one of the low point of RTD's career

insulting and attacking established norms.



RTD repent of your sins or face the consequences!
