The Doctor collapses after a mysterious figure presses a button; once on his feet, the Doctor realizes he can’t remember anything before his current incarnation. When he starts to remember an adventure from his original incarnation, we’re treated to a nice adventure reminiscent of the first Doctor portrayed by William Hartnell. The tale is even in black and white, just like his episodes were broadcast.
Longtime viewers of Doctor Who probably think that this mysterious stranger is the Master, Dr Who’s arch-nemesis. All signs point to yes, especially after the Hartnell tale. The mystery man says he wants the Doctor to be so damaged that he has to regenerate, so is it the Master? Only future issues will tell us. Dr Who: The Forgotten is off to a good start with an adventure of the Doctor that’s worthy of being a televised episode. Based on the first issue, Dr Who: The Forgotten looks to be a hit!
