Seeing the Dalek Time Strategist animated into official Doctor Who media gives me hope that we'll see this beautifully designed yet vile fiend in the show someday
@@themightyalpaca313 Huh. Somehow I thought the Skaro Degradations would be more like some kind of weapon of mass destruction, or an event in the war. Not just Daleks with legs.
@@GrandmasterDevo There’s also a version that flies, permanently. I think they’re called that because they’re mutations, both of the shell, and most likely of the creature inside
Just outstanding! It's a crying shame that there isn't funding to animate an entire Big Finish boxset in this way. It would be tremendously popular on a streaming service ...
16:00 wow, you really get a sense for how rickety the TARDIS is with the sonic screwdriver reverberating along. This mini-movie is absolutely packed with gorgeous touches, outstanding work!
Audio barely manages to capture any of the madness of what the Time War was proposed to be by RTD, making a TV series out of it is suicide because there’s no way we can get the proper scope and inherent incomprehensibility and make sensible satisfying stories that a casual audience could conceivably follow along and enjoy
@Michael Puglisi personally I've always thought a game set in the dw universe like a 3rd person shooter where you play as a timelord soldier during the time war might be the best way to interpret it. But there aren't any good doctor who games so idk which studio would be willing to take on the IP
With what they've been promising about Whoniverse spin-offs, that would be a no-brainer. I don't think I'd trust it to anyone to head it but RTD or Moffat.
Fantastic to see Spider Daleks in action! And Jonathon Carley is a great War Doctor, he's reminiscent of John Hurt but adds his own take to the performance. Looking forward to listening to this!
@@disneyboy3030It helps that he's playing a younger war doctor as in my opinion, he doesn't sound more like a young john hurt from what little i've heard of the actual young john hurt
To this day, it's still sad to think that John Hurt passed away. RIP to a legend. However I'm sure he would be pleased with how well Jonathon Carley did in his role as the war doctor. Can't wait to listen to this adventure. Also, those spider daleks are freaky!!!
@@timecontroller8800 I was under the impression that the Time Controller was long dead? How ever he dose exist after the Time War suggesting that they is able to cross the timelines so they could come back? However the amour suggests not
@@cousinmonachpsis5707 as far as this particular dalek, its just a regular dalek, but since its been brought up: the time controller starts out as post-time war, created to assist the dalek paradigm, but acting under the title "dalek litigator". the master audio series heavily implies this by having him known only as the litigator, but mentioning multiple times having read the timelines of the current event as well as reporting to the dalek parliament. the next time you see the "litigator" is Patient Zero, where hes acting under the time controller title, and from that point onward his chronology is pre-time war
It is! His inner dalek squid thing is exposed so i'd assume once he was rescued they had to remove the top half since that seems to have sustained the most damage and was likely irreparable since it's kinda just hanging off
I myself was never fond of the Two EDA Dalek novels and was much more fond of the Daleks depiction in DWM. I myself however loved the War arc in the EDA’s and find the Enemy a far greater threat to the Great Houses/ Time Lords than the Daleks could ever be (and thanks to A Prelude to a Prelude and Dead Romance we know that the Daleks where on the Great Houses side in the War in Heaven)
I do know what you mean. But at the time in the wilderness years it was new material. And the mention of new Dalek variants was great for me. Striders, Marine and of course Spiders.
As great as these Big Finish audios are I can't help but wish they would go into animation as the clips they make to promote future releases are absolutely stunning. Just brilliant to watch.
I just bought the first war doctor begins audio drama just coincidence that I found this and I cannot wait to give it a go and Jonathan Carley does a wonderful impression of John Hurt I'm very excited. 0:52 Also I love that Caan is used here too.
I was wondering if that was Caan then I was wondering if even that specific (seemingly dying) Dalek knew that the Warrior (War Doctor) doesn’t go by the name The Doctor… hence the Dalek seeing “Beyond the Storm”…seeing HIM…seeing DEATH…instead of referring to him as the Doctor… of course in Day of the Doctor the Daleks on Gallifrey only knew him by the name The Doctor…so maybe it was somehow Caan in the commercial…
Glad to finally see this variant of Dalek visually. the tripod-esque ones, I mean. I read about its design in "Doctor Who: Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe". But the Time Controller is something else.
Spider Daleks!!! Another great trailer and possibly a late contender for the Big Finish trailer of the year! Oh, and the rest of the box sets in this range have been excellent.
The Time War could be covered in a video game format. The Daleks could reclaim their throne as true monsters and be treated as borderline monsters in the game as you fight hordes of them. The Doctor and the Master could be playable characters. A multiplayer with Time-Lord skins could be available. Rassilon and Davros could be boss fights in different campaigns, Rassilon himself could be a playable character. Maybe a Dalek campaign against the Time-Lords could be available since it is clear that the Daleks almost won the war if not for the Moment.
Back in the 90's when the Paul McGann series had planned to give us Spider Daleks, we all thought it was a shit idea. But I always liked it. Nice to see it's come to pass XD
He always will, there's no stopping him and let's be honest, if anything from the time war is still lurking out there waiting to pop up on the actual tv screen, it's the Time Strategist
Gotta say, love the Vortex in this! (00:18 - 00:25) Very interesting take on it! I mean, then and at the beginning of the "trailer", where it kind of looks like a mix of '05 and 2023's Vortex, don't you think?
all the whovians in the world, could see a way for us to make a petition or something, so that we could get a spin off of the eighth doctor, or the war doctor himself with time war stories ,Just imagine how fantastic it would be to see this on screens and not just in imagination in our minds 😍❤️
I know John hurt is dead and God rest his soul ❤️ I love John hurt and his character but we could do as the first doctor like they currently did with David
Is it an in-joke that the identity tag of the Dalek Time Strategist looks like "O-H-O", resembling the mirrored "WHO" as it appeared in the opening titles of the very first TV episodes?
Sort of a John Hurt meets René Auberjonois vibe going on with the doctor’s voice, somehow, I envision him wearing a ww2 helmet, and clenching a cigar in his mouth.
The only person where I can watch/listen and believe this is actually the real actor. Makes me more interested and invested. It’s so off putting when actors don’t sound like the person they’re meant to be impersonating. Well done Jonathan Carley!!
This animation is amazing! There are quite a few RU-vid people who create excellent Dalek animation videos... I do hope that Disney are watching and can invest the money in order for a series with animation like this and great stories from Big Finish. 👍
Awesome animation my dude. Also "he who fights with monsters" is a fantasy book series which is probably why the algorithm gods recommended this to me. 😂😂😂
I feel like most of the difference is simply because the voice actor is a lot younger than John hurt Was when he was the war doctor It does resemble a young john hurt from what i've heard of young john hurt
