![]() That hasn't stopped such demand for new Target style novelizations of twenty-first-century episodes which BBC Books debuted a set of earlier this year. These days, of course, that isn't the case with a multitude of watching options to chose from including DVDs and streaming platforms. The Target novelizations, slim books often running little more than 150 pages, was the cornerstone of the show's merchandise. Paul Cornell really gets the whole show and i'm SO glad, i loved his writing style as well!!īack in the 1970s and into the 1980s, the only way fans of Doctor Who often could encounter an older story was by reading it. What made me the most emotional was the ending, the way Twelve ends his 'era' with a little hope, but mostly afraid and unwilling to change even if he does let himself regenerate, but then Thirteen is here, and she's a woman, and they're like Change !! It does Happen !!! :)) and it's soo hopeful !! just chef's kiss. This made me feel so !!!!!!!!! while reading, especially with the last scenes? One and Twelve talking about Regenerations and dying and not wanting to change but then both coming to the conclusion that they will once again subject themselves to change and actively choose that too!! ![]() It's like eleven said: my friends have always been the best of me. it was such a special treat to stumble upon new parts of twelve and river, a real gift <33Īpart from that, I loved the mention of Barbara, Ben & Polly and all the other minor mentions that shows that Paul Cornell really GETS doctor who and also the specific doctors. ![]() and i personally ATE !! IT !! UP !!! 100% agree. Paul Cornell said you know what this episode needs? Mentions of River. It was okay, and some moments are very dear to me, but over all it wasn't very impressive to me. I'm really suprised to give this five stars, since I honestly didn't even like the episode as a whole too much. I’m excited to see what Jodie brings to the role and hopefully her first adventure will also get the Target novelisation treatment! I’m a big fan of Capaldi’s Doctor, but the show has always been about change. The regeneration scene was perfect, teasing the reader that the next incarnation would be a male again as The Doctor is stuck-in-a-rut Timelord made me smile. There’s lots of nice nuggets in here aswell, various references to the other Doctors was very welcomed. I really liked how Cornell was able to make it so simply clear in which incarnation of the Doctor he was talking about. This is a pretty straightforward novelisations of the story, any multi-Doctor story is always fun and this made for a pleasant read. Capaldi and Moffat were originally intending to leave at the end of Series 10, so the fact that they managed to add in an extra episode for the Christmas Special by having The Doctor refusing to regenerate is such a simple but effective way for him to have one more adventure. I’ve always liked this original televised episode. With the Thirteenth Doctor’s arrival the weekend, I just had a real urge to read Twelve’s swan song beforehand.
