Empathy Games (2008)

The last Companion Chronicles featuring Leela in The Catalyst was a bit of a mixed bag. It was nice to have a story with Leela but it was either the fact that Louise Jameson felt unfortable or the story wasnt very good. I couldnt quite figure it out but in this story that point is irelevant. Empathy Games was a vast improvement. The story itself was quite simple which in a spoken book like this is a plus point. David Warner was a very good piece of casting. I thought that the beginning was a wonderful scene because the imagery along with the sound effects and the narration of Louise Jameson that helped create the sense that the Doctor was truly frightened.

After a confusing Doll of Death it was back to normal for the Companion Chronicles.
