Decided to listen through the first 3 War Doctor boxes both in anticipation of box 4 and in memoriam of John Hurt....listening to the interview section on the first one is quite literally making me tear up a little bit.

 Apologies for phone screenshot...BUT BIG FINISH IS DOING 9 AND 11 STORIES!!!!! Edit: okay, more info: Nick Briggs is doing narration and the voice of all the Doctors. Camille and Bruno are back as Jackie and Adam for the 9 story, and that one is written by the same guy who did the recent 9th doctor comics. jivjov fucked around with this message at 13:45 on Feb 10, 2017 |

I dunno, we thought for the longest time that Tom wouldn't come back. Now we have like 6 seasons of audios with him. Starting with narrated/companion 9 stories is a springboard to Chris possibly coming back.

Astroman posted:To me after having Tennant back for a series this seems like a step back. Makes me a bit worried about future 10th/11th Doctor stories with Tennant and Smith. Did the 10/Donna series not sell well enough to justify the cost of having him back? Tennant and Tate have really active and busy careers; makes it a lot harder to get them in for Big Finish recordings. I don't thing BF releases sales numbers...but the fact that their website crashed the day the 10/Donna set came out should tell you something about their popularity.

So I was looking at the page for Doom Coalition 4, in anticipation of it coming out next month; I noticed that in the cast list they have two different actresses credited for Ollistra. 1) I guess Ollistra is showing up in Doom Coalition, and 2) it looks like we're getting a regeneration of her into Jacqueline Pearce Oh, and Veklin is in. I'm wondering if DC4 is going to lead directly into the Time War set and then into the War Doctor stuff.

The March Listener's Title from Big Finish is The Mahogany Murderers! This Companion Chronicle was the debut of Jago and Litefoot, Investigators of Infernal Incidents, in the Big Finish family, and served as the pilot episode for their own long-running line of anthology releases. Well worth the $2.99!

I'm really hoping that the Jago and Litefoot Short Trips coming up plus this being the Listener's Title is the herald of a Jago and Litefoot sale...I could use some more of them.

Cleretic posted:Yeah, the only real disappointment there is both Four and Eight getting the Vashta Nerada. I mean I like them too, and I'm sure both stories will be good, but surely there's enough new Doctor enemies that they don't have to do the same one twice in the same set. Apparently the 4/8 Vashta Nerada stories are directly linked; so it's less laziness of reuse and more exploring the consequences of one doctor's adventures later on.

So I've been going back through all the Doom Coalition episodes before listening to the 4th box. (New Zelda game got in the way of me finishing them before release of 4). Absent Friends is still a really powerful episode and absolutely deserves that award it won.

My big problem with the Big Finish stuff showing up on Humble is that the stories don't get attached to your Big Finish account, and as such can't be managed through their app. It's a great deal, to be sure...but the loss of the convenience factor is a major negative to me.

Oh goodness. The newest Torchwood audio that just came out the other day, Visiting Hours, was proper hilarious. And also creepy. And the behind the scenes interview was one of the best 9 minutes of audio content I've ever heard from Big Finish.

I actually was rather lukewarm on Before the Fall. My favorites thus far have been Ghost Mission, Fall to Earth, Forgotten Lives, Broken, and now Visiting Hours. I didn't like Archive or Before the Fall much at all. Outbreak was decent, but not spectacular. Made You Look had a LOT of promise and a tepid ending. I liked the sound of the preview for Corpse Day. Anything with Andy is great, I'm glad they were able to get Burn Gorman back...but I'm just still not sold on Owen as a character. It's one thing to present a flawed character...but torchwood the TV show presented his sexual assault, nigh rape, as something funny, which I'm not okay with.

So I'm listening to the old 4 part UNIT series. I know it's completely unintentional...but hearing "Turn then over to ICIS (pronounced ISIS)" and "Make Britain Great Again"....it's unnerving. Edit: goddamn, now they're stirring up manufactured outrage against Muslims. This is eerie. jivjov fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Mar 18, 2017 |

I bought series 2-6, because even spending $100 was probably a bit irresponsible of me. Makes me sad though...I'd love to binge through 11+ series of J&L.

McGann posted:I was so excited when I got to the end of Part 1 and realized where they were going with that. Work needs to hurry up and be done, I've got dog-walking and Big Finish to get to, damnit! My wife and I listened to Part 1 on the drive home from work. As soon as Jago said "the juggler wearing a fez", we got really excited.
