So I'm about halfway through Zagreus and Uhhhhhhhhh.... It's a Hell of a Thing.

The past few days, I've listened to "Zagreus" and "The Light at the End," and watched "The Three" & "Five Doctors," "Remembrance of the Daleks" and "The Day of the Doctor." Anniversary Overload. (My wife, surprisingly, was fine with this use of time) Worst is easily "Zagreus," even though there are individual parts I really like. McCoy and C. Baker's performances, especially. It's just... Too Much. "The Light at the End" and "The Day of the Doctor" are sort of tied for best for me. The one thing I'd been hoping for was Tom Baker to interact with both Paul McGann and Matt Smith, so I got lucky there. The stories both being very good was helpful. "The Three Doctors" is pretty silly, in a (more or less) good way. I like Omega, and seeing Troughton in color. It's too bad Hartnell was in ill health, because I'd love to have seen him working with UNIT. "The Five Doctors" has always been a tremendous wasted opportunity to me. The Doctors should have interacted more. "Rememberance" is a fun anniversary story, and it has an Anti-Dalek bat, and for that, I will always love it. So now we're about to watch "An Adventure in Time and Space" again. Moral of the story: A patient wife who you've managed to convert into somewhat of a Doctor Who fan, it's kind of a must if you're a mega-nerd like me.

Tim Burns Effect posted:Now try a William Russell/1st Doctor story, he's wonderful to listen to. "The Library of Alexandria" is great. So is "The Revenants." I enjoy listening to Russell. He's got a great narrator voice.

PriorMarcus posted:I always thought Matt had a pretty good shot at a post Who career, but I never thought it should be in action movies. I'm just kind of glad he's getting away from Doctor-like roles, even if the roles are in poo poo movies. Let him show his real range and then we'll see how far his career gets. Hopefully pretty far.

Bicyclops posted:So, I started listening to Circular Time and was quite pleased to immediately recognize Hugh Fraser, of Hercule Poirot fame, and then when the second "season" started, I was even more pleased to realize that David Warner was doing one of the voices! I had to get to Wikipedia pretty quickly to confirm that I wasn't hearing things! The stories themselves are fun, although they go by a bit quickly for my tastes. Still, better than any of them droning on forever. "Circular Time" may be my favorite Fifth Doctor story (stories) for a lot of reasons, and the voice actors they chose are only a small part. egon_beeblebrox fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Dec 15, 2014 |

Fifteen bucks for all that Doctor Who is a steal. Gonna listen to a lot of Colin Baker this month. Hopefully I'll like the Dalek Empire stories.

Gaz-L posted:Well, the Lost Stories ARE the $15 tier stuff, so they did do that, but yeah, kinda weird to go with Dalek Empire. Though isn't Briggs really proud of that series? I figured they used them since apparently Tennant is in them, and they could use that to reel people in.

Here's a video of Horror movie host, Svengoolie (Known as Son of Svengoolie in the 80s), interviewing Pertwee for the TARDIS 21 Convention in 1984. It has some funny awkwardness in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGf3zWpjPGU (Also, Svengoolie is pretty fun if you like old horror hosts. Lots of cheesy gags and great old b-movies featured)

It would only really work with most of the River episodes. And even then, it would still be nonsensical as Hell.

Organza Quiz posted:I'm one of those rare unicorns who actually likes River and I have in fact watched all of her episodes in the order of her timeline and it actually holds together pretty well. It's just about the only time you can get something interesting from watching episodes out of broadcast order. Of course, River's timeline order is different to chronological order, that would still be pretty hosed. River's fine. I may try it one of these days. Chronological for River actually working is surprising to me. It seemed to me that it'd just fall apart after series five.

Yeah, I actually enjoyed most of that book, but that entire segment is... unfortunate...

Paradise Towers owns. My mom bought it for me and I'd never even heard of it. It's pretty amazing. It's so specifically a story that would only work in 7's run.Random Stranger posted:And Mel is completely insane throughout it with her obsession over a rather bland looking hotel pool. thexerox123 posted:And I'm always glad for a reason to share gifs of my favourite Doctor Who villain, MECHA LOBSTER: These are some of the main things I love about it.

What are some good Mel Big Finish stories? I don't think I've ever heard one. (If I have, I have forgotten it). She never really bugged me on TV. The TV show was so odd while she was on it, it was just par for the course while I watched those stories.

I've looked it up. The only Big Finish story with Mel I've heard is "Flip-Flop" which is an... odd... story. I like it, but it has Problems.
