Hey Guys,

welcome to the third part of The Time War Series 1 The Conscript. In this story the Doctor and his group get separated. Ollistra is of course involved again. The group get questioned and the Doctor is sent to be trained for war.

The war training

The Doctor is in this training camp. For him it must seem more like prison. So he can’t leave because of a barrier that makes sure that the soldier are save. The Doctor is in the room with two other. The one is really serious about that training. She wants to fight in this war and believes in the stuff that her Captian says. The other is there to fight too, but he is more like a goofball. He likes the Doctor from the first moment. Wants to be like him.
The Doctor is in that mix and questioned everything the others believes him. He cause trouble.

Listing or not

I really like this part. The Doctor is so wrong in this place. He don’t believe in war or in the way they do it. It is not that he don’t believe the Daleks needs to be stopped. It is just… and exactly for that it is good to listen to this part. In The Conscript we see again that the war don’t really have good and bad. We see how war changes people. We see why the Doctor destroyed the time lords.

What I love about this story and about the stories of the war doctor, is that you understand why the Doctor needed to do this one so cruel thing. All this story makes it clear that he hadn’t another choice. I was never a fan of taking this away from the Doctor as Moffats did. Because yes the Doctor can do this. The Doctor is capable of doing this.
