New Who Review the Empress of Mars
Jun. 19th, 2017 11:48 amThis is Mark Gatiss’ latest foray into the Doctor Who universe and he got to play with the characters he wanted with the Ice Warriors.
I enjoyed this one. It was one and done with a little tag at the end which has fandom holding its collective breath.
So Bill gets to have an adventure with the Doctor reminiscent to me of those that Jo had with Three and Sarah Jane with Four. There is an absurd historical element, an alien species element, and a Doctor saves the Day element.
A bit by the numbers but fun all the same.
That the Empress wanted Bill’s opinion on the situation since she was the only female in the room, was both funny and made sense considering what is being set up for the Ice Warriors.
Over all it was a good solid Doctor Who episode that you could have put just about any Doctor into and it would have worked.
