BIG FINISH'S DOCTOR WHO-GENESIS OF THE CYBERMEN

Image
  This LOST STORY truly does not work on any level. First, it makes the Doctor quite stupid as to not know this is Mondas from the start. Second, it makes Nyssa incredibly dumb as she helps the people turn into Cybermen. Third, it makes Adric dumb, too, as he helps them develop a moving planet...or something. At least with him, it was to save Nyssa's life. The people do not know how to fly a spaceship---and was it ships at one point and then ship at another? Maybe I missed something...it was incredibly boring and I might have fallen asleep during it. Fourth, this HAS to be outside continuity because in EARTHSHOCK, Adric, Tegan and Nyssa are ALL meeting the Cybermen for the first time judging by their reactions and shock at them. There was a time when DW media worried about such things. Had this been done after the characters met the Cybermen, it would have had more of an impact as I'm sure most feel SPARE PARTS did (I loathe that story, too for the things it states about Adric)...

DARK SHADOWS 555

  DARK SHADOWS  555 “We will use Miss Winters to force Barnabas into making you a mate. And I will help you.”   “You know I’m beginning to wonder about Barnabas Collins.” Nancy B. Blair asks Adam where Vicki is. Adam, “I don’t know.”   Blair tells him, “Don’t lie to me, everyone else but not me.”   He tells him he can trust him. Adam says, “I don’t know” again.   NOTE: the closet Vicki is in looks as if the piece of it was sawed off from parts of the rest of the old set? The thunderstorm that started a few eps ago is still in play.     Finally, Adam shows Blair a sleeping Vicki. Blair has a plan and worries that Carolyn or that strange servant (Harry?) might come up here. Adam does not like to lie to Carolyn. Tomorrow night, Blair tells Adam they will bring her to the House By the Sea.     He gives Adam drugs to give to Vicki to make it easy to move her. He is to put it in her food. He will take Vicki away tomorro...
