Didn't some people when the costume was revealed find some photos of the Northern Soul era, and Jodie's costume would have literally fit right in?

Unbound has one really bad story in it, like maybe top 10 worst Big Finish stories, and almost all of the rest of them are phenomenal.

The only Unbound one I've heard is the (first?) one with David Warner as the alternate Third Doctor and that's good enough that the rest could be absolute dogshit and I'd still say pick up the set.

Yeah there are a couple of ... uh not so great Unbound ones but the ones that are good are AWESOME. Worth picking them all up. (Especially He Jests at Scars which I was super happy that I got to tell Michael Jayton I enjoyed immensely. That was one of my first BF audios and pretty much made me a fan)

It's too bad Whittaker hasn't had a clip where it's her - not in character, just her - saying, "Hello. I'm Jodie Whittaker, and I am the new Doctor!" like Capaldi did. I enjoyed that.

Forktoss posted:Speaking of, does anyone have opinions on the Sutekh/Unbound sets? The Unbound Benny seasons, which is I think what you're asking about and not the original unbound set of releases that everyone else are talking about, are either pretty great to very very good. Also they feature the weirdest trademark dodging Dalek cameo in Who's history. The Sutekh set has a pretty mediocre Justin Richards entry, but the other three are good. Generally anything from the James Goss era (starting with the Dalek entry before the Sutekh set) are of a high standard.

Nodosaur posted:So who do you guys favor for the identity of the Woman in White from “The End of Time”? I'm happy accepting that she was Mother Who, as Davies apparently wrote it. I think her being the Doctor's daughter/Susan's mother would work, too, though. Joke answer: She's a later incarnation of Ace after she's graduated from the academy and gained the ability to regenerate

Wheat Loaf posted:Has Levine explained why he's opposed to the Doctor being a woman? He’s incredibly sexist? E: you know it’s interesting. If this had happened between 9 and 10 I would not have liked it. Not because I was against a woman doctor or I am secretly sexist or anything but because it would have felt like pandering since they’d never set up the fact that the Doctor (or any timelord ) might regenerate into a woman. I am okay now that they have taken the time to establish that yes, time lords can in fact switch genders when regenerating, so I am perfectly okay with it. It’s more to me about (oh lord) continuity. Like in the Movie (which I love) I am always very bothered by the “human on my mothers side” and the eye of harmony being literally in the TARDIS. I suppose we can handwave one away as a joke and the other as some kind of dimensional shortcut but it’s the disregard for (oh lord) cannon that bothers me. Like if they want to do a female James Bond cool, go ahead but don’t just make a movie when OH HEY NOW HE’S A SHE, take the time to set it up ffs.
