That was a pretty good Christmas episode, although they missed an opportunity to bring back Toby Jones for a scene as the Dream Lord.

I thought this was a great callback to when they revealed Eleven constantly saw Amy as if she were still a kid.

Something Inside might be my least favorite McGann audio. Such a terrible plot, and I cringe every time McGann says "brain worm", and that man can usually say anything and make me find it interesting. It's like he knows how bad it is as he's speaking it.

Jerusalem posted:Yeah, it's so middle-of-the-road that I'm surprised to hear it garner any kind of strong reaction, whether negative or positive. Other stories have been far worse, particularly Creed of the Kromon or Minuet in Hell. Oh god, I must've blacked out Minuet in Hell again. That is the worst McGann audio without question. But Something Inside and Scaredy Cat round out my bottom three. I actually thought Creed of the Kromon was okay, but then I don't dislike C'rizz as much as some people. Really, aside from those bottom three, the only other McGanns that I dislike are Invaders from Mars, Time of the Daleks, and Twilight Kingdom. edit: That's regarding his initial seasons anyway. I also didn't like the Army of Death audio with Mary Shelley, and I still haven't listened to any of the EDAs (aside from Blood of the Daleks) or the Dark Eyes series yet, although I do intend to at some point.

Random Stranger posted:Some of you are saying that Forest of the Night was the worst episode of season eight, but I'd go one step further and say it's the worst episode of all of Moffat's tenure and a strong contender for worst episode of the revival. It's a master class in how not to tell a story with a disastrously bad message attached. Did we all just forget that Love & Monsters exists?

CobiWann posted:I think, and I could be wrong, it's a mix of letting Big Finish focus on the old series, getting the Doctors/actors back or letting them have time to have careers before bringing them back, and the BBC not wanting fans to think that absolutely have to buy the audios in order to be all caught up on the current TV series. Also, don't the rights to the new Doctors belong to AudioGo? Or am I mistaken?

ashpanash posted:We never did hear about Space Florida. It's a nice place to visit but you wouldn't want to live there. Davros1 posted:AudioGo's kaput. Bankrupt. BBC Audio has them again, and are doing the audio stories again, beginning in summer with a Twelfth story. I assumes it's just going to be read by a single narrator like their previous efforts. I suppose that's quite a bit cheaper than rounding up actors for a full cast drama, but I don't find them nearly as interesting. It's probably for the best for now, though. I'm guessing that besides David Tennant and John Barrowman, who are big enough Doctor Who nerds to try and make time in a busy schedule for an audio play, none of the main cast from the revived show would be interested in doing Big Finish at the moment.

adhuin posted:I hated the Missy-teasers inside the earlier episodes. She was great in the finale, but the teasers felt just pointless manic pixie badguy-stuff. They also serve to make those episodes weaker on rewatches by inserting plot from the finale that is out of place. It was fine to set things up in Deep Breath and I didn't care about the "promised land" namedrop in the Robin Hood episode, but they're super annoying in every other episode. I really dislike how these over-arching plots have morphed from a one word mention like Torchwood or Bad Wolf to stuff on the level of the Key to Time. This is Doctor Who, not Burn Notice, we don't need to revisit the plot of the season all of the time. We don't even really need a plot of the season every season. The episode with the instance of this that I particularly hate is the conversation between Amy and Rory about watching the Doctor die during The Doctor's Wife, which is a reminder of a lackluster over-arching plot during what is a fantastic episode. I'd rather just rewatch a great episode like The Doctor's Wife without having to think about that.

Pesky Splinter posted:Memory Lane had a pretty compelling mystery around it, and learning that it was a prison was okay, but learning the purpose behind Tom's imprisonment was...well, it rather derailed my enjoyment that I'd had til that point. It's still probably the strongest of the immediate-post Divergent universe dramas, though. I'm not sure if you're counting them, since they're not Big Finish, but Jon Pertwee did three audio plays before he died.

Pesky Splinter posted:Yeah, I'm planning to do a seperate thing for non-Big Finish Doctor audios (I'll have to see how hard it is to get hold of them, I started on The Ghosts of N-Space and stopped midway through, but not because of the audio, I just got super busy and never got round to resuming it. But the first part felt very much like a Big Finish audio, and it was good to hear Nick Courtney, Lis Sladen, and Jon Pertwee together again. And I'm mistaken, there's only two of them, Paradise of Death and Ghosts of N-Space. Pertwee unfortunately died before they could finish the third one.
