egon_beeblebrox posted:So, I listened to "Scherzo." Don't worry! It's all downhill from here. There are a few high points (The Natural History of Fear, Faith Stealer, the Last) but it's pretty much a slog through the Divergent Universe arc. Scherzo for its hosed-up-ness is definitely a solid example of early Big Finish's creativity and why I wish Robert Shearman would get a chance to write some more Doctor Who.

Ghost Light was mine, in which I developed my first teenage crush via Sophie Aldred only to find out that Battlefield the next week was the last episode of the show my PBS local channel was airing. Then fifteen years later a friend of mine was visiting from out of town and we were already halfway through a bottle of port when she noticed Arc of Infinity was going to be on in a few minutes. Two bottles of port later I think I was more confused than I was during Ghost Light!

Sydney Bottocks posted:From everything I've ever read, downtrodden little guys who work on Hollywood blockbuster films absolutely do not give a poo poo about the artistic integrity of those films. It's something they can add to their resume to get future jobs on Hollywood blockbuster films and that's it. The key grip on Thor or the best boy on G.I. Joe are not gnashing their teeth and rending their garments over the fact that some uppity Brit said he hated working on those films. I miss Eccleston and would love to see him play the Doctor again however I see exactly where he's coming from and hope he's happy with whatever he's doing now. I think in the case of GI Joe/Thor an actor/actress/crewmember is at the mercy of "production by checklist." Hit this point, hit this point, hit THIS point, and count on nostalgia/sequelitis to put butts in seats. Counting on "nostalgia" to put butts in seats is why I'm so revved up to hate Ready Player One. Something like Gone in Sixty Seconds is just as formulaic but there's a certain amount of freedom because you're not tied to nostalgia or some sense of "if you don't touch upon this part of the franchise the whole movie sucks" or remaking some beloved classic...yes, I know Gone in Sixty Seconds is a remake, but it's not a remake of a pop-culture "classic"...so there's less pressure and I would imagine just a sense of fun and being able to stretch your wings a lot more than you could in a Disney/Marvel flick. Eccleston basically chewed the HELL out of the scenery in Gone in Sixty Seconds and probably had a blast doing so. You could say the same thing in a much less subdued manner for 28 Days Later. Now that I think about it, this is one of the reasons I love Doctor Who. The show could coast so easily on nostalgia and dips into its own past quite a bit (any Dalek episode or something in the style of Under the Laker/Before the Flood), but you also get experimental, creative moments...some work (Blink, Midnight), some don't (Sleep No More) and sometimes you get a female Doctor. The show truly gives us the best of both worlds when it takes advantage of it. Edit - Huh. I could probably apply most of what I just wrote to CM Punk and the current state of WWE...

Sydney Bottocks posted:Frankly, I'd rather hear actors talk about how much they hated working on some project that they clearly did just for the money. Nowadays everyone does the "oh I had a wonderful time on set, we were like one big family" thing, and nine times out of ten it's complete bullshit that they're basically ordered by the studio or network to spout during interviews. Yeah, hearing Brad Pitt gush about how awesome World War Z was going to be and how much faith he had in the director AFTER the re-shoots and ending re-writes... I'm praying that the Whitaker/Chibnall working relationship doesn't go the way of Eccleston/Davies, especially with the added scrutiny of the first female Doctor on top of it. Of course, I say this prayer and then I hear this voice* in my head saying "What does God need with a TARDIS?" * - for some reason the voice of God in my head is Patrick Troughton. This does not surprise me in the least.

A story where the Eighth Doctor does NOT get amnesia. Although I always had an idea for a story where Peri's supposed background as a botanist came into play - someone is trying to come up with a workable hydroponics system for space travel but the soil he's using came from a centuries-old meteor strike...

I look at it like this - the day I die will be the day that I finally finish consuming all available Doctor Who on this planet. And when I get to Heaven, Saint Peter will be there. "Hello Cobi. We have a high-definition viewing of The Power of the Daleks waiting for you, followed up The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve."

jivjov posted:In the Forever behind the scenes, David Warner laments the end of J&L because he liked working with a pair of leading actors a decade older than he was The entire spectrum of Doctor Who actors and actresses, main series and spin-offs, seems like one big happy family, light on the dysfunction. I like to think it's due to the lunches Big Finish provides.
