Hey Guys,

welcome the 6th story of the 3rd Season of Doctor Who ‘The Ark’ with the first Doctor, Steven and Dodo. I haven’t seen or heart any of the primary stories. But they say that Dodo only appeared at end of the last episode of ‘The Massacre’. So this is the first adventure with Dodo and there is just two other story complete with her (The Gunfighters) & The War Machines. Vicki left the TARDIS in the 3rd story of the season ‘The Myth Makers’.

In the story the say that they are in 57th segment of time. This should mean that the first two episodes of the story is around 10000000. The last to play 700 years later.

Destruction of earth

Isn’t it sometimes scary that even after 56 years some of the stories are as current has they were than. This story is the first that mentioned the destruction on earth and how the humans will survive this destruction. The human race just never change. But now that I rewatch it, I think that with more episodes I would really start to love Steven. I like the way he thinks and see the world.

The new dynamic

Dodo is not just new to the time travel but she is also a little naive but also really joyful. So Steven is in this story a little like her father or big brother. He is run after and try to stop her when she does something without thinking. It would have been quiet interesting to see how this turns out. Sadly we don’t get that time.
I hadn’t so good memories of ‘The Ark’ but I really liked it when I rewatched it. Also got a better connection with Steven and Dodo than the first time. I really wish we had more of the stories out on DVD.
