A Fairy Tale Life comes to a close with the Doctor learning the answers to the following mysteries:
A) Where have all the tourists go?
B) Why doesn’t anyone know that the dragons, horses, fairies, etc are really robots?
and C) Why has the planet’s medical contamination unit targeted anyone who gets sick and injured, like Amy, for death?
As I write these questions, I realize a huge plot hole. If the entire planet is automated and the humans actually human, how do they eat? I would assume that if the horses and ducks are robots, wouldn’t the cattle, pigs, and other animals be animatronic as well?
The story was pretty good. The art got better though I feel bad that artist Cary Yates got replaced in issues 3 and 4. Hopefully, it wasn’t for poor artwork, though I did say in issue 1, his likenesses of the Doctor and Amy were not perfect. (They did get better by issue 2.)
Fables’ Mark Buckingham had some great covers and the alternate covers having Amy and the Doctor acting out classic fairy tales was really cool.
I enjoyed this miniseries. It had its flaws, but like a Queen song, the worst Doctor Who tale is better than no Doctor Who tale. And this 4 issue story wasn’t that bad.
Worth Consuming.
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
