Project: Who - Four to Doomsday 3
Four to Doomsday 3
This shit stinks.
In a rewrite of State of Decay, Adric betrays our heroes, siding with the bad guys. He sees that they can offer him immortality (again? really?) and falls to his knees saying "Yes, please." Or something like that. He spills all of the secrets he's learned about the Doctor and the Tardis, while Nyssa stands by trying to get him to shut up. It doesn't work.
Nyssa is taken away. She's hypnotized and taken down below, where her memories will be copied and put into a robot, after which she will be killed. The Doctor and Old Guy find her and bring her out of the chamber.
Tegan returns to the Tardis, goes inside, and tries for a long time to take off. Eventually, she presses the right buttons and the Tardis dematerializes.
The bad guy robots catch up with the Doctor, Adric, and Nyssa, surrounding them and as the episode ends, one of the robots is trying to kill the Doctor.
* * *
Ho hum. So now everybody's a robot, and they've all lived for tens of thousands of years. The bad guy has decided to come to Earth and replace everybody with robots. That's step one, step three is profit, what's step two, there, Underwear Gnomes?
This story is pathetic. If this was my introduction to Doctor Who, I would shut it off and never return to the series. When I'm seriously trying to decide which would be more painful - an episode of this, or an episode starring Jo Grant - I can't really decide. And that's bad.
I don't know what's after this, but it can't possibly be this mind numbing, can it?
