Big Finish Five also has a weird existential crisis when he talks about seeing his own regeneration before it happened and also seeing older incarnations of himself that aged more than they should have done.

Iain Cuthbertson has such fun with the part of Garron, every time I watch it I'm just going along with whatever story he's giving the locals and just enjoying that for itself. He really sells the story which was heavily edited so there's bits missing and sticking out.

Without getting into a debate about how the Scottish should vote, if they voted yes, what would it mean for Capaldi? Would it make it difficult for the BBC to renew his contract?

I highly doubt it'll have any effect. And from what I've read, Scottish people living in England aren't even allowed to vote in this.

Jerusalem posted:There seems to be this oddly sanitized attempt to shock with sex and violence in this story, as if Big Finish wanted to be "mature" but were so wary of going beyond the pale that they ended up stuck between being candid and chaste. The oft-mocked "pretty little satin bottoms!" line is the best example of this, they wanted the despicable Hellfire Club to be sadistic degenerates who treated woman as sex slaves and objects but knew that it would just be too weird in something like Doctor Who. So they tried to compromise, and what comes across feels like a half-hearted attempt to be edgy.

I have 2 9 hour drives coming up, and thought I should listen to some Who. I'm looking for suggestions. Who-wise, I'm very familiar with the new series, but have never gotten into the older stuff. Audio-wise I used to listen to audio books a lot. So if there's an awesome book with a good audio version I could do that. I've also listened to and enjoyed a lot of old bbc radio shows so I'm down with whatever style. My favourite books to listen to are ridiculous action comedy things like Douglas Adams and Christopher Moore. Also I'd prefer not crazy expensive ones in case I hate them in general I'm not out too much. RodShaft fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Sep 28, 2014 |

The Marian Conspiracy, The Spectre of Langyon Moor, The Holy Terror, Jubilee | Storm Warning, The Chimes of Midnight, Seasons of Fear | Spare Parts | and The Fearmonger. That's 9 2-hour stories each available for 3bux apiece from BigFinish.com. If you listen, listen "in order" between the brackets. These are full-cast radio drama, not just narrated audiobooks! Furthermore, they all stand apart from the classic stuff with the PARTIAL exeption of Spare Parts, but you've probably absorbed enough contextual info (i.e. the fate of Adric) to deal with it.

I would toss in Neverland after Seasons of Fear since it's the "season finale" for Charley's arc. Also, someone on my Facebook feed made an interesting comment - Listen is the closest the TV series will come to making a Big Finish audio-style episode.

Jsor posted:Well, no, but I figured the rules may be a bit more stringent for the highly paid face character of one of their big mainline shows. In the event that Scotland votes Yes, there'll be a certain length of time until it actually becomes independent, during which negotiations will be undertaken to sort out the nuts and bolts of secession. This could take a year or two. Salmond wants to join the EU (I'm not sure if he will arrange an interim referendum on that issue; he should if he's interested in emphasising Scotland's commitment to popular democracy, but he probably won't) and this could conceivably happen as early as next year, if Scotland's membership is fast-tracked and the Spanish do not try to veto it. One of the fundamental principles of the EU is free movement of labour (as an aside, the enduring support for the EU from the leftists and enduring opposition from the rightists is something which has long perplexed me; as Tony Benn said, the Treaty of Rome was the only treaty which "entrenches laissez-faire as its philosophy" - obviously not a topic for this thread, of course), so Capaldi wouldn't have any problems working in the UK. Unless, possibly, the rest of the UK votes to leave the EU in 2017. In that regard, the Scottish referendum is, in many respects, a dry-run for how that would turn out. Better Together's tactics - failing to make a positive case for the union (the only politician who I think did so successfully was Gordon Brown, and he waited until literally the last moment to do it) in favour of trying to argue against independence - will probably be repeated by whoever is running the "In" campaign and UKIP will probably crush them.
