BF's biggest missed opportunity with the War Doctor is that they didn't call the fourth set Causalities of War.

The_Doctor posted:Considering there's a whole year before the 8th Doctor Time War set comes out, I can't help but wonder if there'll be another season of War Doctor stories before that comes out. There's a whole bunch more Time War to play with, and it certainly feels like they're deliberately not going as dark as they could with the War Doctor. I read somewhere that these four were going to be the only "season." But then again, maybe Hurt will fall into the "likes working with Big Finish" camp and agree to come back for more! Tim Burns Effect posted:If only we had known in advance that Big Finish could get hold of a premise that allowed for weird, unique storytelling and completely squander its potential. Scherzo was just so loving good and both Faith Stealer and The Last are personal favorites of mine...but Creed of the Kromon. Boy, I just don't know.

CobiWann posted:I read somewhere that these four were going to be the only "season." Scherzo remains one of my favorite Doctor Who stories ever, bar none. McGann and Fisher both knocked that out of the park. The Divergent Universe arc is just so weird. I remember my much younger self first listening to Kromon and being super creeped out by Charlie turning into a giant worm monster that I basically never wanted to listen to it again. Natural History of Fear sort of worked for me. I liked the twist ending* just fine, but it's not really one I'd go back and listen to again. I agree that The Last is probably one of the better stories set in it. *Yes, I just spoilered a twelve year old niche audio drama.

I really like The Natural History of Fear too (and Scherzo, of course). Kromon is definitely one of the top 10 worst Big Finish stories, though, and it's good some stiff competition.

CobiWann posted:OK. People from the United Kingdom. You've got to be careful when you visit farms. I remember this one we were shown in school (in the late 1990s, so probably about 20 years after it came out) where this kid who loves football breaks every bone in his body and loses both feet when he's hit by a train and it ends with a close-up on his football boots; Peter Purves presented and narrated it. What you really need to look up are the DOE anti-drink driving adverts from Northern Ireland. Wheat Loaf fucked around with this message at 16:47 on Dec 20, 2016 |

After The War posted:I hope my gift made it to my Santee okay. When I sent it, it said "Me? I'm allowed everywhere!" and jumped into a slot intended for (I believe) much lighter packages. It did! You made some awesome choices by the way, and oddly enough I didn't even watch Doctor Who when I made my username, it was just a happy accident. My Santee is supposed to get their package by Thursday, but we'll see if UPS holds up their end. Edit: Bicyclops posted:I really like The Natural History of Fear too (and Scherzo, of course). Kromon is definitely one of the top 10 worst Big Finish stories, though, and it's good some stiff competition. Natural History of Fear is one of my FAVORITE stories BF has produced, and I always recommend it in my "intro to BF" starter kit as a good recommendation of the different ways stories can be taken in the audio format.

I remember there was also an updated one from the 1990s where this kid goes in to recover his sister's doll after it's chucked over the fence by some other kids, something like that.

I just had the thought of 'what if the Nation estate managed to sell the rights for the Daleks to CBS and didn't tell anyone?' Like, in a few months time, you're watching Star Trek Discovery and suddenly the Daleks turn up on the viewscreen.

McGann posted:It did! You made some awesome choices by the way, and oddly enough I didn't even watch Doctor Who when I made my username, it was just a happy accident. Oh good! I wanted to try and cover a form of Who you might not have tried yet, and hope I didn't spoil it too much with my  90s comics  posts of late.The monochrome art is gorgeous, though, isn't it?BTW, there's a great story in there about how DWM made the writer remove a subplot about people the Time Lords had erased from history. Which worked out for the best, since he was able to adapt it into Neverland! After The War fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Dec 20, 2016 |

LordZoric posted:I remember my much younger self first listening to Kromon and being super creeped out by Charlie turning into a giant worm monster that I basically never wanted to listen to it again. It was written by Phillip Martin, who wrote Vengeance on Varos, which, if you recall, had Peri turning into a bird monster. A couple of years ago he wrote the Six Doctor audio Antidote to Oblivion. Care to guess what befalls Flip in this story?

I once read a story about a celebrity who got invited to William Shatner's house to watch some Canadian Football. He knew NOTHING about Canadian Football, had never watched it, but when William Shatner invites you, you go! So off he went and when he got there, ANOTHER celebrity guest was there. He asked the guy what he was doing there and the guy replied in a whisper,"I have no idea!  "I'd like to think that's how the guest stars generally felt about somehow ending up on Doctor Who during the JNT years.
