Doctor Who:
The Power of Three
By Chris Chibnall
“Actually, it's you they can't
give up, Doctor. And I don't think they should. Go with him. Go save every
world you can find. Who else has that chance? Life will still be here.”
Here we are with the penultimate
story with The Ponds before their big goodbye in the next story. Well The Power of Three was the one story
that we did not know much about at the time while we knew quite a bit about the
other four to make some good assumptions.
Finding out that Chris Chibnall wrote it I did have very strong
reservations about The Power of Three and was hoping he would redeem himself from
the second story of Series 7, which he wrote, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship. Yes, I was truly hoping for something far
better than that abomination to one’s eyes and mind.
Well first off I give the
production crew high props for attempting something different. Here we have a light hearted story that tells
the life of the Ponds for the better part of a year in their normal lives. A year that is also shared with the Slow
Invasion and why there are black cubes all over the world. Well the black cubes are only minor and seem
to be an afterthought at times. This
story was mainly about the Ponds and what they more or less do when The Doctor
isn’t around.
