I've been waiting for a Thunderdome loss to regenerate my avatar, but I haven't had time to take part, so I figure the 30th anniversary of the death of Robert Holmes is as good a reason as any.

Is this the last one Myles is doing or was that talk of her being done just bullshit?

Big Mean Jerk posted:Why would you punish yourself in such a manner It did kick me in the rear end to get stories finished, but I was always extremely unhappy with how they turned out, always rushed and messy. Turns out working two jobs, being the primary songwriter for a gigging band, co-owing a record label, and helping to run a regional Sci-Fi convention means you have a hard time making deadlines! And even then, the lack of useful criticism got irritating after a while. I understand the "keyfabe to prevent hugbox" thing, but I don't know where to begin if the only feedback is that my submission was "terrible." If any of the above things slow down, I might start contributing crtis, but I don't think I'll be submitting again any time soon.

Tom Baker's Final Interview in Doctor Who Magazinequote:The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine - issue 500, read all about it here - contains what Fourth Doctor actor Tom Baker refers to as his "final" interview. In the first of two parts, DWM chats to the man who graced the very first issue of the publication, when it was known as "Doctor Who Weekly", and to this day has a very special relationship with. Is he actually ill or is he being his usual morbidly-obsessed-with-death self?

He's 82, at that age a lot of stuff can be randomly fatal even if he doesn't have a specific condition

Yeah, the "I'll be dead quite soon" line actually just sounds like pretty standard Tom stuff to me... or at least I hope so! But like MrL_JaKiri says, he's 82. He's already outlived the average and at that age it doesn't take much to do you in, sadly. Of course we all secretly know that Tom Baker can't really die, but let's all just play along with the pretense

I was super disappointed with the latest Gallifrey audio. The last one ended on a "Oh man, poo poo is going down!" cliffhanger, and this one does something I can't stand, even accommodating the time travel stuff - it erases the events of the last release via timey-wimey paradox, and then the events of this release. It feels like a cheat when you're invested in the narrative, and then it pulls the rug out from under you. Oh well, Lalla Ward, Louise Jameson et al. are still pretty great.

If done right that kind of thing can be clever, but more often than not (and as sounds like the case here) it just pisses off the audience because the whole thing ends up feeling like it was ultimately pointless and irrelevant.

Yeah, that's the main issue - is that it's honestly kind of pointless - it's six hours of stuff happening, to then be told, "Actually, none of this mattered at all." It might as well have been a dream sequence for the actual impact it had on the characters.  Spoilers Here's a gloss of the story - bits of it are pretty good and interesting, but it feels like squandered potential.

Tom on mortality is interesting. He jokes that he records so many BF's in advance, that they'll be releasing new ones long after he's gone, but in another he laments that it's not fair that Caroline John, Elizabeth Sladen, and Mary Tamm have all passed away yet he's still alive.

Granted, it was a couple of years before he played Giles, but still, it's weird to think that there was a time he wouldn't have been considered a good actor for the role.

They asked Charles Dance and he sneered with contempt and replied,"You know it's my destiny to one day play the Master, a destiny I cannot escape, don't bother me with casting calls for the Doctor  "After they left Alan Rickman leaned over and said,"I am going to attempt to escape my destiny to play the Master, what's the worst that could happen?"
