CommonShore posted:Also, in watching Logopolis I realized that if the universe were infinite, there would be an infinite number of universe-ending evil geniuses ending the universe at any given moment. Thankfully tempered by an infinite number of daring heroes stopping all those evil plans! EDIT: Massive 8th Doctor sale today. EDAs are $5, main range stories are $5.

Big Finish is kicking off 4 consecutive 24 hour monster sales. Today is Black Dalek Friday. Highlights include discounts on all 4 series of Dalek Empire, 5 Main Range Dalek stories, the 3 Dalek stage play adaptations, and the super cheap Dalek focused Bonus release. The next three days will be Sontarans (Small Business Sontarans?), Ice Warriors (no idea what pithy name Sunday gets), and finally Cybermen (the oh-so-obvious Cyber Monday)

Happy Sontaran Saturday everyone! This one is a bit lower key than the Dalek sale, but they've got three Main Range titles, one Lost Story (although this one was a Listener's Title a month or two ago for even cheaper), one Fourth Doctor adventure, and a plug for the already-running sale on Jago & Litefoot & Strax.

Pesky Splinter posted:I wasn't expecting quite so many characters, nor the return of the Angels so soon after Classic Doctors New Monsters. I think the Time War set is a one-off, not a whole series (sadly). That said, I really hope the end of the set ties right into Night of the Doctor (ideally with just straight up "I'm a doctor...but probably not the one you're expecting" being the final line.)

Is anybody reading the Third Doctor miniseries from Titan Comics? The final-panel reveal of Issue #3 is absurd and phenomenal and I cannot wait to see where this is going. We thought we were seeing a 2nd/3rd Doctor team up...but its actually Ramon Salamander!

tsob posted:I'm not a big Who fan and haven't watched the last few seasons, but I noticed earlier that Audible's Daily Deal has a Doctor Who book on offer, specifically Engines of War, a War Doctor book. Which I figured someone in this thread might appreciate at least knowing was on sale. I'm considering buying it myself, but has anyone here read/listened to it and have an opinion on it out of interest? Re: Engines of War, its a pretty decent War Doctor story. I read the book shortly after it came out (probably a good thing too; I've been spoiled by Big Finish's releases for the War Doctor) Re: Big Finish, they have a whole bunch of different lines of releases with a bunch of different presentation styles. The main range, and stuff like the 4th Doctor releases, 8th doctor boxes, etc are all full cast drama, with music and sfx. The Companion Chronicles are mostly all two-handers with one Companion actor and a second person voicing an ally or enemy. The Early Adventures are mostly full-cast, with narration bits instead of everything being in-character.

Davros1 posted:At least we still have one more set to go, not to mention The Invisible Man I do wonder if BF is going to delay or otherwise alter release plans. It may come off as a bit morbid to go "hey, here's a brand new release from a guy who just died" (especially since Invisible Man was slated for somewhere in the next 4 days)

My wife thought she only knew him as the War Doctor, but then I reminded her that he was Ollivander in Harry Potter too. She's a huge HP fan, but tends to lose actors behind the characters in that franchise.

Gordon Shumway posted:I think it's kind of crazy that everyone but Chris Eccleston has regenerated during a Christmas special since 2005. I know they want to make a big deal out of anybody's last episode, but it would feel so novel and almost be more interesting at this point if the regeneration came in a regular episode and where the stakes weren't the entire universe. Basically, Caves of Androzani. 10 regenerated at New Years, not during the Christmas episode.

This month's Listener's title from Big Finish is Robophobia. A sequel to a 4th doctor story, starring the 7th Doctor, and introducing a companion of the 8th Doctor. It's good. For $2.99, pick it up.
