Jerusalem posted:Four more years of the 8th Doctor is very good news indeed I just hope there's more coming out for 8 besides those, given the year long gaps between 2-3, and 3-4

If nothing else; this season being so incredibly strong (even the Monk 3 parter had some cool ideas) gives me hope that no matter who the showrunner is, there's always the possibility for Doctor Who to be great.

Anyone have opinions on the Graceless audio dramas from Big Finish? I listened to the Key 2 Time Doctor Who releases and while I'm not, like, champing at the bit for more Amy/Abby and Zara, if the dramas are well done, I might check them out (context: they're 40% off on BF today)

Very minor spoiler I'll bring over from the spoiler thread, the singsong Mondasian voices are apparently unchanged

https://twitter.com/morganjeffery/status/878282263670046720 Here's a link to a fun little piece looking back on the history of Big Finish, and their relationship with the BBC. Amusing that Moffat was at the initial meeting between Briggs and the BBC, but walked out

Carbon dioxide posted:The only thing I never got is how blocking emotions stops people/cybermen 'caring' about pain. Some people "push past" pain as an act of will (like athletes and whatnot), maybe not having emotions to deal with makes that will stronger?

https://www.bigfinish.com/news/v/doctor-who---series-10-special-offer-finale-week-12 The Big Finish sale for this episode is just....HUGE. A story or box set from every single Doctor. The first two series of Esrly Adventures, the first Third Doctor Box, the first Hinchcliffe box, the Fifth Doctor Box, the Last Adventure, some Bernice stuff, Dark Eyes, the first War Doctor set, and Destiny of the Doctor and Light at the End

BSam posted:The best part of this season has been Burkion saying before most episodes "This has the potential to really upset/anger me, prepare for my rage" and then after each episode saying "yeah, that was good" Yeah, I like it when Burk is happy. As someone who podcasted with him, that's so rare

I'm reading 12's desire to not regenerate differently than 10's. 10 wanted to keep on being 10 "I could do so much more" and "time lord victorious" and all; whereas 12 seems much more like "I just don't want to do this any more" and he'd be okay with keeling over dead if it means not having to keep traipsing though time and space with a new body for the umpteenth time.

Forktoss posted:Has anyone listened to the first season of the Early Adventures? Bradley has got me on a First Doctor kick, and I'd be tempted to pick up some of the ones on sale if there are any particular highlights. I'd honestly recommend the entire first series. Especially on sale like they are. The first one (the Voord one) was my least favorite, but it was still good. If you really only want one or two...Doctor's Tale and Ordinary Life.

docbeard posted:Agreed. Not a slight on either Tennant's or Smith's performances (I think they're both brilliant actors and Tennant's Doctor in particular is often, I think, unfairly maligned), but they would have given it a different energy. Paul McGann is honestly the only person who's played the Doctor that I think could come close to the level of sheer pleading desperation for them to just get it that Capaldi was evoking, and I don't think he'd have done it better. Ooh, now I hope someone gets McGann to read that speech at a convention. (Or not. I honestly feel a bit bad for the actors getting handed lines they've never seen before and expected to deliver them in character)

Jerusalem posted:I thought I picked that, the 2nd volume and the 3rd Doctor Adventures as part of today's special but I realized after I went to download it that I'd actually somehow ordered two copies of volume 2 instead I'm sure they'll take care of you. When I bought UNIT Dominion it went on sale the next day, I asked nicely and they gave me a refund of the difference between my purchase price and the discount price. (Which I turned around and gave right back to them for a different audio)

Trying to see if I can get Big Finish to fix it, ironically if I'd brought them separately their system would have warned me I already had it.

Davros1 posted:Big Finish's customer service is second to none. Hell, I've got an even more esoteric one...when I bought the Destiny of the Doctor complete series release, I noticed that the track ordering was screwed up. (It went 1, 10, 11, 2...etc). I pointed it out to them via a casual facebook message....its fixed now.

Josh Lyman posted:How did John Simm kill Missy with a sonic screwdriver? That was dumb. It goes back to Simm's original appearance in Series 3; he has a "Laser Screwdriver" instead of a sonic one. Its a weapon and can also hyper-age people.

I just listened to Big Finish's interview with Colin Baker, and both he and Briggs speculate that a lot of 6 hate is not necessarily due to the stories themselves, but due to contemporary knowledge of Baker being sacked, and modern "common knowledge" that 6 was the one that is bad. Like a self-fulfilling hate prophecy
