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Vague historical references to New Amsterdam (comedy device)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.
