In fairness, other planets are possibly not situated at the cosmic crossroads and don't have Daleks, Cybermen, and whoever else constantly trying to conquer it.

For most planets, first one of those would also be the last one.

Apparently First season was the worst season of New Doctor Who.
Then we got to second season and it was the worst season too.
Now comes the Third and the final worst season.. until it is time for toxx to review the fourth one.

Had to laugh that the first thing they did once they got to their own private planet was to get nekkid

Only thing they had to wear was Straitjackets. Their relationship isn't ready for that yet. :science:

Help needed from Audiophiles.
I'm considering getting an 8th Doctor-avatar, but I'm currently lacking a Good quote. The google wasn't very helpful, as it only contained same tired quotes from movie & Night of the Doctor.

the avatar:

Could anyone think fitting quotes from the Audiostories?

Thanks for all the suggestions and links. I've slept on it and ended up with this "To the Death"-quote.

Yeah. This was a first bad episode for me this season. :sigh:

Only positive thing in this episode was Clara _finally_ snapping and chewing up the Doctor!

I'd nominate Nightmare in Silver as the worst episode yet to come.
Annoying kids is a pet hatred of mine & boy were these ones annoying.
Also Cybermen being Cybermen. They've never worked for me outside the Dalek v. Cybermen sass-contest.
And I had pretty high expectations, because it was penned by Neil Gaiman.

Clara: "Oh Doctor, I think I'm pregnant! What should we do?"
Doctor: "It's not my responsibility." (Runs to the Tardis and escapes)

No wonder She was angry at the end! :v:

It's ok, they already made a T-Rex that was 8,000 times more massive than in real life in Deep Breath. This season's theme - spurious creation of mass?

At least that one had an eye witness explaining that Dinosaurs were actually that humongous!

Which was bullshit. I'd kind of like for Doctor Who to at least be accurate about real world things rather than making poo poo up for a dumb joke. It is a kids show after all, and it at least used to try to be educational.

That's all that it takes to reinforce suspension of disbelief. You have a point about educating about real animals, but Moon-laying space butterflies have no such concerns to deal with.

a Small quip about baby/egg generating artificial gravity field. Or it getting nutrients from Sun/another dimension/meteors thus expanding its weight. etc etc..

Or have its mommy come to lay another egg and guide the baby away.

They're just some character skins.
People seem to like those:

That's just silly.

Now, if you don't mind, I have a game of poker to go play with Dr. Grace Holloway, Leela, and Kamelion.

Why are your arms full of black lines?
It's not the silence, but your viewings of Voyage of the Damned!

The Child actors were surprisingly good. And I generally hate Child actors.

I think Occ's next review may necessitate hiding behind the sofa .

So the checklist for tonight:
1. Regeneration gets hand-waved away.
2. Donna gets the raw deal.
3. Rose gets the walking Doctor Dildo.

If Toxx ends up liking the episode, he has no soul. :ohdear:

I think, I only gave it D, but that's the worst grade I gave.

F is reserved for the Olympic Episode, which wasn't part of the game.

Is pretty OK for the Master, although I prefer the Monk as antagonist-Gallifreyan.

I'm still trying to get around to Blake's 7!

Audios, Videos or both?

Seconding the Babylon 5 recommendation. My favourite Space Opera-series.

I agree that Dark eyes 3 was pretty good. I'm just getting fatigued by the continuing story-line.
I just (re-)listened them from the start and having a 12 hour (soon 16!) epic adventure is bit too much.
Hopefully they ease up after the part 4 and have some individual episodes / box-sets for the eight.

Is Dark Eyes something one can just jump into or does it build off previous audios?

Mostly independent series. New companion, new story-arc with small references to earlier companions at the start.
