Doctor Who: The Time Monster - A Third Doctor Story
with Timey-Wimey Complexity

Based on the information from the transcript of the website
[invalid URL doctor who the time monster ON Chakoteya.net],
here's a review of Doctor Who: The Time Monster:

Story

The Doctor (Third Doctor) and companion Jo Grant
find themselves on Earth embroiled in a conflict
between two alien races:
the Time Lords of Gallifrey (the Doctor's people)
and the Vortians, who are trying to manipulate
time for their own gain. The Doctor must navigate
the complexities of time travel
and defeat the Vortians to protect the timeline.

Review (Limited Scope):

Timey-Wimey Fun: This serial dives into time travel
shenanigans, which can be enjoyable for fans who
like the complexities of Doctor Who's lore related
to time.

Introduction of the Zygons: The serial introduces
the Zygons, shape-shifting aliens who become
recurring foes in Doctor Who.

Limited Character Development (Based on Summary):
The transcript doesn't provide details about
the development of the Doctor or Jo Grant in this serial.

Possible Weaknesses (Considering Limited Information):

Classic Who's Production Values: Special effects
in classic Doctor Who were limited by the era's
technology. The depiction of time travel
and the alien races might not be as realistic
by modern standards.

Slow Pacing: Classic Doctor Who sometimes
featured a slower narrative pace compared
to modern iterations.

Confusing Narrative (Potential): Stories heavily
reliant on time travel can be confusing to follow
for new viewers.

Overall Thoughts (Limited Scope):

"The Time Monster" presents a timey-wimey
adventure with the introduction of the
Zygons. However, the potential for dated
production values, slower pacing, and
a confusing narrative are considerations.

Would I Recommend Watching It?

For Fans of Classic Doctor Who: 6/10
(Recommended with caution for fans of the
Third Doctor era who enjoy complex time
travel stories. Be prepared for the
limitations of classic Who)

For Fans of Modern Doctor Who: 4/10
(The introduction of the Zygons might
hold some interest, but the potential
for dated effects, slower pace, confusing
narrative, and less character focus could
be significant disadvantages)

Here are some additional points to consider that might help you decide:

If possible, try to find reviews that discuss
the complexity of the time travel plot in this serial.
This can help you gauge how confusing it might be for you.

Consider watching other Third Doctor stories featuring time
travel like "The War Games" to get a sense of how the classic
series handled this concept before diving into "The Time Monster".

Be aware of the potential for a confusing narrative due
to the reliance on time travel tropes.

I hope this helps! While "The Time Monster" might
be interesting for fans of timey-wimey stuff
in classic Doctor Who, the production limitations
and narrative complexity might be a factor to
consider, especially for viewers more accustomed
to the modern series.
