Is there a spending limit on our Secret Santa gifts? I had it in my head we could only spend £5, which I think is wrong.

I really like The Reaping, even though nobody else does. It's the thing that made me want a proper Cyberman story about depression, which I can't quite believe still hasn't been done.

I can't think of any Who story which seriously considers that the Cybermen might have a point, and might be better at being civilised than we are. I think that could be done really well, as monsters that want to change who and what you are are much scarier if there's a sense that they're right to do so.

Box of Bunnies posted:I decided to go ahead and pick up The Sontarans. It's pretty neat so far! This is my first dip into the Early Adventures line (I grabbed the first series when they were on sale earlier this year but they're still pretty deep down the Big Finish pile I was really disappointed they didn't design a 60s-esque Sontaran for the cover, even though I know that's not a realistic thing to demand or expect.

) and the mixed narration/full-cast format makes the story feel like it fits right in with the others of its era in terms of stylistic similarity to the soundtrack-with-linking-narration releases of the missing episodes. There have been sequences I couldn't really picture making it into the show as aired in the 60s, but Peter Purves narrating a full cast performance with music and foley makes it feel right at home alongside the likes of The Mythmakers or The Daleks' Master Plan (which this of course takes part in the middle of).

Big Finish is giving away Flip-Flop for free! It's probably the most "2016" Doctor Who story there is, by which I mean "the moral is that immigrants are bad and will chase you out of your community."

DoctorWhat posted:IMO it's extremely important that Doctor Who remains a product of a publicly-funded broadcaster, even if that means we don't get as much of it. I would have agreed with this in the RTD years, but I can't really think of any recent Who that a non-public broadcaster would have vetoed. Maybe Sleep No More?

The general state of science fiction and the world spurred me to write this essay on Kill the Moon that I've been meaning to do since it aired.

Forktoss posted:What's worth picking up in the 51-125 range? I own the obvious Scherzos and Kingmakers already, but if anyone has some deep cuts to recommend, that'd be great. The last story in Forty-Five is amazing and the first three are sort of okay. And Benedict Cumberbatch is in it, apparently! At one point Steven Hall was going to write loads of stuff for Big Finish; I expect if he had he would now be regarded as one of the best Who writers ever. vegetables fucked around with this message at 13:14 on Feb 13, 2017 |

Astroman posted:A really young Doctor might even have fallen in love with the show right away with Eccleston or even Tennant! It will bear watching. You could be in your thirties and have this apply to you, as you'd have grown up in the long stretch of time when Doctor Who wasn't really a thing. In fact, this could realistically have applied to Matt Smith in 2009, and that's eight years ago now.

cargohills posted:e: On a similar note what's up with the weirdos on those awful Doctor Who forums who claim to only listen to Big Finish instead of watching the new series? I understand being critical about Steven Moffat as a showrunner but at least there's less obsessive continuity porn on TV. IMO Capaldi-era Who is arguably worse with continuity, because at least it's reasonable for BF to assume their audience will have prior knowledge of all the stuff being referenced. I'm thinking particularly of that time they had a big painting of the Brigadier without explaining who he was, or thinking twists like "this time the Ice Warrior has no armour" are going to be interesting to people who don't know or care what an Ice Warrior is.

Big Finish is having a Jago and Litefoot 40th Anniversary sale! I'd quite like recommendations on whether Series 5 through whatever the most recent one is are any good. I'm very tempted by Series 7, as teaming up with Arthur Conan Doyle sounds amazing.
