DW: The War Machines – rewatch

Hey Guys,

welcome the last adventure of the 3rd Season of Doctor Who ‘The War Machines’. Steven already left the TARDIS so the Doctor is traveling with Dodo. Dodo seems even through all she been through was capable of saving her joyful self. But the Doctor is not traveling long like this. We get introduced to Polly and Ben. I really love these two.
It takes place in July 1966 in London.

WOTAN

WOTAN is a computer who know everything even what TARDIS means and can think on his own. Something we got a lot of movies and series about. The machine deciding to take over the world from the humans. WOTAN get his helpers by hypnosis and let the human work for their own destruction. Also the computer seems to know about the Intelligence of the Doctor.

Ben and Polly

I really loved them from the first moment. She has kind soul. She cares about people and feels responsible from them. But she is also a very happy person. Polly likes fun and humor. Friendship means a lot to her. Even when she does know Ben for like two days, she cares and would not betray him. Ben is a little more… sullen? He is responsible and realize very fast when a situation turns dangerous. But he also tries to help and don’t let anyone behind.

A good end

This adventure changes a lot. We not just get new companions. The Doctor is taking sides and got involved on his own will. When we started Doctor Who the Doctor didn’t get involved. He just get himself into problems and tries to get out alive. Th Doctor don’t save people, he didn’t care about them. His travels with Barbara and Ian changed him.
Now we have a Doctor that actually try to save people and get’s involved in things. So this is a great way to end the 3rd Season because the 4th season with the 2nd Doctor. He will always get involved.

DW: The Gunfighters – rewatch

Hey Guys,

welcome the 8th adventure of the 3rd season of Doctor Who ‘The Gunfighters’. He travels with Steven and Dodo. The story takes place in the year 1888 in the small town Tombstone. “The Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon” was specially written for this adventure. This is one of the history episode that actually is not historical accurate.

Wild West

It is a story about the Wild West. Actually I never really understood the fascination everyone had the wild west. The story doesn’t change it. It has bars and guns… and I don’t know what is so interesting in any of that. So I don’t have much knowledge about this time. I heart of Doc Holiday but I don’t know anything about him Johnny Ringo. Most of the time I want to inform myself about the stuff the Doctor shows us but not with this…I just don’t care much about this episode.

The Doctor and the Doc

A few people want to kill Doc Holiday. He uses the Doctor to make people believe the Doctor is Doc Holiday. The three of them just try to get out of this alive. When everyone wants to see them death. Dodo get captured by Doc Holiday and she has really trouble to deal with all the death around her. With only the view adventures seeing with her I think she hasn’t made for traveling in the TARDIS. But that makes her really interesting.

So much shooting

The story is for me to much shooting and killing people. This definitely is not my favorite story. But seeing Steve and Dodo together I really wished she had more episode with them. They could be really cool and interesting. Sadly the episode is not. It also means that there is are just adventure with the Doctor left. Steven how ever will not be in The War Maschines. He has is departure in ‘The Savages’.

DW: The Ark – rewatch

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.
