Darkness and Light-3.5 stars.
Poor Eighth Doctor. His brain is like a shredded sponge with all this memory mischief, ha. But this was good.
The Survivor:7/10Verdict: OptionalSomewhat slow story but the cast is great and the story, while being predictable and pretty formulaic, is still satisfying and effective. The Master is a real bastard in this, and I love him worming his way into trustworthiness with key people to manipulate events. I was able to empathise with the main character quite a bit throughout this, but the whole magic rocks arc was a bit much and felt really odd for the other events, I sort of wish this was completely g...
I enjoyed this more than the previous box set, but it doesn't quite reach the heights of the first one. The World War II era stuff with The Master masquerading as a manipulative priest was really good stuff. Apparently this boxset was supposed to take place in the 17th century with witchfinder stuff going on, but the TV series doing "The Witchfinders" with Jodie Whittaker meant that they had to change up the premise. The Eighth Doctor was always going to be part of this box set either way. The o...
This is a set of three stories linked by a common plot arc that sees the Master up to one of his usual schemes. Taken as a whole, it's a more traditional story than the first two releases in the series and isn't quite as edgy - although it does have an impressively high body count.The Survivor - The first story is the strongest in the set, not least because it isn't at all obvious at the outset what the Master is trying to achieve, with things turning first one way and then the other until all i...
The eight doctor has learnt something that he isn't allowed to remember, oh boy here we go again. But seriously these stories were awesome, the firs two really make you hate the master, but he is so good you just can't help but love him. He really is one of the best masters.
3.1 The Survivor by Tim FoleySeconda Guerra Mondiale, non il raid di Londra per una volta (anche se viene citato), ma la tranquilla campagna inglese e una fanciulla che il nostro Master cerca di circuire per aiutarlo nella guerra... ma non quella che pensa la ragazza.3.2 The Coney Island Chameleon by David LlewellynNuovo personaggio che il nostro Master cerca di ottenere, scatenando il caos come sempre. Si riconosce un certo fil rouge nelle prime due storie del box set. Resta da vedere lo scopo
This edition of The War Master pits The Master against Doctor 8 in the last two episodes. Therefore, it is no spoiler to say that The Doctor gets his memory wiped (yet again) so that continuity can be preserved. What we get in this series is two very different halves. The Master seems to be on the hunt for beings with extraordinary abilities that he can use as weapons or as templates for weapons in the Time War. Parts 1 and 2 show The Master at work collecting such specimens. Parts 3 and 4 show
Oh wow, this was delicious.Although this is not as strong as the first War Master Volume (which is just unparalleled with its emotional impact), we still get some really good stories.I like the mix of history and mystery in the first two.The very first scene in "The Survivor" is absolutely perfect. It starts out so innocent, but from the moment we hear the Master do his sinister chuckle, we know it won't stay like that for long. The setting and the atmosphere is wonderfully realized and how the
