Doctor Who fans with what is for now at the very least the last Doctor Who animation being released today. I thought that it was a good time to take a look back and review the story that airs right after this newest animation and so then join me as I review the story that sees the introduction of some truly classic Doctor Who villains with the actual story in question being called simply just "The Ice Warriors" enjoy.
The plot of this story is The Doctor , Jamie and Victoria find themselves of Earth during a new ice age and when one of the scientists discovers an alien frozen in ice it's up to The Doctor t save the day before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very story 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 story was really good with the plot itself being very well written and entertaining and at times quite thrilling and exciting as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is Patrick Troughton as The Doctor , Frazer Hines as Jamie McCrimmon and Deborah Watling as Victoria Waterfield. Also starring in this episode was Peter Barkworth as Clent , Peter Sallis as Penley , Wendy Gifford as Miss Garrett , Angus Lennie as Storr , Peter Diamond as Davis , George Waring as Arden , Malcolm Taylor as Walters , Roy Skelton as The Voice Of The Computer , Bernard Bresslaw as Varga , Roger Jones as Zondal , Sonny Caldinez as Turoc , Michael Attwell as Isbur and Tony Harwood as Rintan.
Now then interms 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 that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With all of this episodes cast turning in some really good performances which given who is starring in this episode really isn't that much of a surprise at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Doing the animation for episodes two and three of this story are the legends and the greats that are currently over at Qurios. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very story well then I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very story was in all honesty not that bad however that's also the issue because it's not that very good either since it just looks cheap and very stilted looked in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
This episode does introduce us to The Ice Warriors and I have that there introduction into this story does make them come across as very menacing threat. However what lets them down is the fact that it's very hard to tell who is who since there's no difference in the designs of each Ice Warrior heck i've seen this episode this episode several times over the years and i've only just worked out that it's Turoc that's in the caves with Victoria that's how hard it is to tell each Ice Warrior apart from each other in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
I have to admit that I really didn't fully understand what there plan was since they never make it clear what it is that the villains of this story even want. Which is a shame because on paper having a small squadron of Aliens close to attacking you should make for interesting characters however you also need to give them an end goal since then we the audience would be able to fully understand what the stakes are and when you don't do that or you don't make it clear what the villains end goal even is then you've lost all dramatic tension that could've been built up in the episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
To me it seems that the character of Victoria really had nothing to do in this episode since all she does is get captured , run away and either scream or cry and that's really it. Which is a shame because you could have had some fish out of water comedy with her earlier on in the episode and you could have had her show us some her intelligence since her father was an inventor it would have made sense that she herself would know alot of things and that could have played into the story in a very meaningful way in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
This story is six episodes long and while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes grand total, running time I do know that for a fact that this episode has / had a rough grand total running time of roughly two hours and thirty minuets. Which is a bit of a long time for this story to last simply because of the fact that there really isn't enough there in terms of either plot or story to cover six twenty plus minuet episodes of a TV show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then since this is Doctor Who that means that I have to actually talk about the actual villains that are actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual villains that are actually featured / presented to us in this very episode were in all honesty not that bad. With this episodes villains coming across as being quite menacing and with how they pronounce there S's makes them sound rather creepy as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this wasn't a bad episode altho it is an episode that does have it's fair share of problems and it's those problems that were for me at least very hard to freaking ignore in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then 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 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 as 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 , Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.
