A Spoonful of Mayhem, by Roy Gill (3.5/5): Some literal LOL moments as Missy does a Mary Poppins: crossbreeding dogs and squirrels into a creature that chases itself up trees for kicks. Also I immediately guessed that Dan Starkey was the Warden. I like the idea of Missy being subject to exile like the Doctor was in the 1970s. Boy does she chafe at those restrictions. But also boy does this story highlight how sociopathic she is. The kids were rather stilted, and I couldn’t tell if that was their characters or the actors.
Divorced, Beheaded, Regenerated, by John Dorney (4/5): This was totally bonkers and I loved it, even as there was a LOT of scenery-chewing (especially when the Meddling Monk and Missy were trying to out-villain each other). I did not know how it would turn out, and there are some great LOL moments (but to say more would spoil them).
The Broken Clock, by Nev Fountain (3.5/5): This story begins with a highly amusing read on true crime documentaries (hyperbolic narration, constant repetition of information) and becomes a somewhat meta, mildly confusing in places involving time loops real and imagined. Americans may find the satire of Americans somewhat over the top (the theme tune for the documentary had what sounded like the opening line of “Yankee Doodle” Morse coded into it as a motif), and the American cops seemed to speak through clenched square jaws and take everything seriously, including their quipping. I did find myself surprised by the turns the story took, so well done.
The Belly of the Beast, by Jonathan Morris (2/5): I could buy the general premise (Missy sets up some sort of exploitative mining operation), but I still don’t really understand why the mining needed to be literally inside a beast; it didn’t add anything to the story. There was also an awful lot of screaming and yelling, which I should probably expect from a Missy story, but it felt OTT and meant I couldn’t listen to it in public because I was constantly adjusting the volume.
Overall rating: 3.25/5… (mehr)
