Doctor Who fans it's finally done after spending a little a month watching and reviewing episodes from the first Tom Baker season of Doctor Who i've reached the final ever episode of this first Tom Baker season of Doctor Who. However the hard work doesn't stop there as in a few short weeks i'll be doing the exact same thing but for season 19 of the show and so then join as I review the episode that wasn't actually intended to be the final episode of this season with the episode in question being called simply just "Revenge Of The Cybermen" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is The Doctor , Harry and Sarah Jane all return to the Nerva Beacon where they discover that things are quite different from what they remember them being. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot of that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode is in all honesty not that bad with this episodes plotline being a very satisfactory conclusion to the plotline that was started all the way back up in episode two of this season in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is Tom Baker as The Doctor , Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith and Ian Marter as Harry Sullivan. Also starring in this episode is Ronald Leigh-Hunt as Commander Stevenson , Jeremy Wilkin as Kellman , William Marlowe as Lester , Alec Wallis as Warner , Michael Wisher as Magrik , Kevin Stoney as Tyrum , David Collings as Vorus , Brian Grellis as Sheprah , Christopher Robbie as The Cyber Leader and Melville Jones as A Cyberman.
Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty. Not that bad which has really been the case for every episode in this season and it's especially true for actor Tom Baker whom we've seen really grow into his role as The Doctor over the course of this first season of his in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.
So now then this episode features the return of the The Cybermen whom were all last seen in the 1968 Second Doctor serial called The Invasion. As well as being there return this one would also be the final Cybermen serial until season nineteens Earthshock and I have to say that I hope they get better costumes in that episode because of the fact that the costumes that they get to wear in this episode from the neck down look completely and totally freaking horrible in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.
Now then I was really not prepared for this episode to be as dark as it gets since you straight see a character getting crushed to death by a bunch of falling rocks and you straight up see a bunch of dead bodies just lieing around a corridor. That's some pretty dark stuff right there and it's certainly something that you'd expect t see in Doctor Who today let alone Doctor Who when it was in it's prime in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then I have to admit that I really did like the character of Kellman since that character was in all honesty convincing in the role that he played in this episodes plotline. Which i'm trying my best not to spoil because of the fact that it is such a good little plot twist that it's best you guys know absolutely nothing about what actually happens to this character but let's just say that it more then makes up for one dimensional the character is written in the very early parts of this storyline tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then this episode is also the second to last episode to feature the character of Harry Sullivan and since season thirteen isn't coming out anytime soon I think now is the absolutely right time and place to talk about him as a character. Since in all honesty Harry both the weakest and in some cases the best of any given episode since he's brave when the situation calls for it and he makes for great auidence character however with all of that being said tho as in the case of this episode as well many of this seasons episodes give Harry absolutely nothing to do and as such he feels alot more like a freaking third wheel and not an actual part of this seasons TARDIS team in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.
Now then this episode is actually four episodes long with each of those episodes lasting around twenty five minuets each which means that roughly this episode has combined grand total running time of roughly one hour and thirty six minuets in length. Which if true is a bit of short running time for a story featuring the Cybermen to last since you could very easily have gotten six or even eight whole episodes out of this one storyline alone and that wold have allowed things to have moved at a more naturel and organic pace instead of feeling rushed in alot of arts and or even places in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then just like with last weeks breathtaking Dalek episode there was also quite alot of action to be found in this weeks episode as well and that there for means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very was in all honesty not that bad. Yes it's not as good as the action that we got to see in other episodes but what really elevated the action in this episode for me at least was the breathtaking and heart pounding final action set piece which just phenomenal to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least
Overall while I am glad to have finally finished this season with this fantastic final episode of this very season I will be sad to this season go as for the most it was a very good with alot of very good stories being told within it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from with this whole very season earning itself a grand old score of exactly a 9.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Amazon . Co .Uk. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
