I must admit, it’s fantastic to have three villains that are so ruthless and far beyond redemption. And they’re very keen to suck the life out of every single world. No, these are three people who control the people with an iron fist and have even made knowledge illegal.
They’re not tragic characters who take lives just to survive. There are no shades of grey with these monsters. We also get three great characters with the villains of the piece: Zargo, Camilla and Aukon, the three who rule the village, and indeed, the whole planet. 2022: HBO Max sure had a weird month Three strong villains Rhaenrya Targaryen actor asked not to meet with her older replacement.Prey star responds to haters, “super-woke” critiques.Emily Carey on the “love” between Rhaenyra and Alicent.Jeff Bezos’ son warned him not to “eff up” The Rings of Power.Image obtained from: official Doctor Who website.) Zargo, Camilla and Aukon are three gloriously evil villains in this story. I’m glad he did, as State of Decay is a rather strong Doctor Who serial, particularly since it’s a very straight Vampire story, with not a single fish in sight. However, upon seeing the new draft with far more focus on science than on horror, director Peter Moffatt insisted that the previous draft was used for the story, instead. Apparently, as a behind the scenes feature revealed, he had asked for Terrence Dicks to heavily re-write it. Bidmead wanted a much stronger emphasis on genuine science-fiction during his era as script editor.
This last part I was initially surprised by, as Christopher H.
There is an element of science-fiction, but just that, with a far greater emphasis on horror. There’s a gloriously Gothic sense of style to the whole serial, with more than a few nods to classic Hammer horror films. In fact, the story feels like a great throwback to Tom Baker’s first three seasons, as produced by Philip Hinchcliffe and script edited by Robert Holmes. Despite being set in what’s supposed to be a completely different universe, there really isn’t much in the story that indicates that. It’s not surprising to know that Terrence Dicks had been wanting to write State of Decay for a long time before it was finally made for Tom Baker’s final season of Doctor Who. And yes, they are actual Vampires in this classic Doctor Who serial. The Fourth Doctor and Romana face Vampires in the second story of E-Space trilogy.
