beccaelizabethFour individual stories where the 5th Doctor is travelling alone.
I thought the first one, Ghost Station, was the best of these. Tight, two people talking about freedom and escape, understandable and a good DW twist.
The other three were good too. I think there's less time to elaborate plot or run around corridors so they end up focused on one character each time. So The Bridge Master is a little about a scary bridge and a lot about the guilt of saving your own at the expense of someone else. What Lurks Down Under is about rejection and starting a new life in exile, something the Doctor says he knows about. And The Dancing Plague ended up being about blame and what the summary calls paranoia, the unfocused knowledge that something is wrong coming out in DWish ways.
So I liked them. Focused and charactery.
