poo poo, I'd better get started on a big rewatch leading up to the finale soon. Might as well start back at The Empty Child, since it's the end of the Moffat era too...

Fil5000 posted:It would have been fun but Lowe was pretty much perfect. I don't know if Pertwee could have had the interplay with Le Mesurier (specifically Mainwaring's massive inferiority complex) that made the character really work. Yes, and the fact that Wilson literally looks down on him due to his size works so perfectly for that character dynamic, it's all just fuel for Mainwaring's simmering resentment at being out-classed on every level by an inferior officer. The gag wouldn't have worked with Pertwee for obvious reasons.

Fil5000 posted:I would love it if mugabe found and returned exactly one more lost episode than Levine did. Funnily enough, the news had this to say about the Mugabe deal: quote:Iain Levine, deputy executive director for programmes at Human Rights Watch, said on Twitter: “Given Mugabe’s appalling human rights record, calling him a goodwill ambassador for anything embarrasses WHO and Dr Tedros.” No, Iain is not Ian. But this line did cause at least one of my eyebrows to rise, before I figured out what was going on.

corn in the bible posted:I will check those out. Any good McCoy stuff? I always liked him. I liked Colditz (which also features pre-Doctor Who David Tennant), Red (100 mins of McCoy saying "Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrred!"), and Night Thoughts (adapted from an unused TV story). Start with whatever you find interesting; the stories are mostly stand-alone though there are arcs in some of them. I'd also recommend Light at the End, Big Finish's very fun, but nonsense 50th anniversay special - as a good smorgasbord of how the doctors act. There's also some pretty good pure historicals in there too, for a nice change of pace. [e]: Echoing MrL_JaKiri, though, they are pretty good stories. [e2]: gently caress, also check out Davros. Terry Malloy is loving amazing. "I will not press this switch! I will not cower! I will not die! I WILL NOT DIE! THIS IS NOT THE END - THIS IS ONLY - THE BEGINNING!"

I was a little disappointed by the ultimate revelation/resolution of the story "psyche, of course it was all just a plot by the Cybermen to set up a conversion factory!" is a lot less interesting than the previously set up possibility that maybe some of them want to "deconvert" and reclaim their humanity but yeah, the first three parts are absolutely brilliant. McCoy's first BF, The Fearmonger, is also really good just for how much it feels like they've just come off the set of Survival without missing a beat.

It's incredibly early in Big Finish's run, but I have a real softspot for The Fearmonger which feels like it comes directly out of the McCoy television era.

I'm glad I have other shows to kill the time between Series (Ducktales, Rebels, various obscure anime, etc) Even if binge watching/reading can be done in a matter of days, leaving me once again waiting for weekly releases like the rest of the viewers... Really need to start managing my time better

I will take this opportunity to trot out my Spoiler-Free Early BF Continuity Guide so you'll know which audios are intended to be part of an ongoing story, if there are any monsters you'd like to show up or sequels to TV serials. I should really start to build it out into a "if you like [x] start with [y]" guide, where x can be various styles or specific stories.

I am well aware that reading something isn't the same as watching or playing something - it's why I don't mind spoilers like other people If anything, I'm of the mindset that such videos need the other 42 minutes of the episode to be experienced correctly Kinda like when people give characters like Clara and Rose flak just because of two or three scenes

This is a really weird background detail for a dystopian Who episode that's probably about losing our grip on the things in human society worth enjoying. It might be a McCoy-era standalone story that actually holds up well. If it's a revival episode I don't picture any specific Doctor, but it's either got the Daleks orchestrating it or the Cybermen as an outside threat. Dalek version of the story is kinda crap but has some good moments, Cyberman version is weird and unbalanced but ultimately pretty decent. Both versions' previews spoil the monster, and overfocus on them to the exclusion of most of the setting.
