[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 420234, member: 8"] Disc 3 is [I]The Edge Of Destruction[/I] and to me it looks like a psychological chamber drama that combines all the weirdness you can get in a Doctor Who story except for the monsters or aliens. It reminded me of the [I]Midnight[/I] episode from the Tenth Doctor. I think this is almost inevitable since New Who is my beginning and therefore the main source for reference points. The Tardis crew is temporarily unconscious because of a small explosion, and when they awake they all act very strange but not [I]equally[/I] strange. It's as if they're all in their own mini-universe bubble, conversation doesn't make sense and it sounds more like the tea party from Alice In Wonderland. I found it very disorientating but in a pleasant way. The story becomes a little bit problematic when they try to figure out what's going on because I don't know if a thought comes from a sane or confused mind. They also consider the idea that an unknown entity has entered the Tardis and taken over one of the characters (this actually made sense to me). A lot of conspiracy theories, accusations, explanations pulled out of the hat and then...it turned out to be a faulty spring mechanism. I could almost believe that this story (only two episodes) was 100% improvisation. But whatever it was, the actors handle it very well. [ATTACH type="full"]55749[/ATTACH] I think this was the Doctor's theory monologue about a solar system trying to suck the energy source out of the Tardis, turn it into dust and then stone and then a new world. Sure, why not? [/QUOTE]
