DW: Red
Hey Guys,
welcome to the 85th adventure ‘Red’ of the big finish main range. Mel and the 7th Doctor are visiting a civilation that chiped themself.
Machine
The story has so much potential. It is not a new story. There is a community which decided to make a maschine that can take away your anger. They are all chiped, which mean the machine can take away your memories of your anger of your feelings. The machine takes their responisblitiy form them. This chip not just take their anger, it takes all their emotions. With brings us to very interssting situations. Because you always want what you can’t have.
Perfect system
This system seems perfect but nor Doctor or Mel thinks so. Both for really different reason. The Doctor thinks that the anger have to go somewhere. You can’t just take it away. Mel are thinking of all the other emotions like love and friendship. Also we have to patries here. One that let the machine edting them and the others that decided against it. They are not so different how they think. These people also forget how to feel and how to handle real emotions. That is what the hope to learn from Mel. I wish we had more of that part of the story.
This adventure also shows me how little Mel really knows the doctor. She believes in him and it is a good thing but he is not that good person she sees in him.
It is a really good story. So go and listen to it.
