So I found out The Holy Terror was on Spotify and listened to it today on the commute to and from work.

Well.

Well that was a thing that happened.

Here's the secret to Doctor Who

Don't give a poo poo what other people think because no one agrees.

No one even agrees on why they like or DON'T like certain things.

I'm sure some one somewhere out there doesn't like Power of the Daleks

And that's fine

Just like what you like and don't like what you don't

I don�t like this post :colbert:

That could have been a really good audio if they didn't have the shittiest possible voice/effect for the little kid.

I dunno, it was offkilter but still worked for me. Everything else was an exercise in badly written tropes executed by a madman, so it being hilariously done but still unsettling was perfect. This is my opinion and everyone else here has it too, in the Doctor Who TVIV thread where we all agree at all times.

Anyway next up is Spare Parts, get the gently caress in

On my morning commute tour of the thread's greatest hits, I listened to Chimes of Midnight today. Does Eight flippantly break causal time as a general rule, or just for Charlie? It's the former, isn't it? I should hope so, since he's doing a very good job of it. It'd be terrible to have all that talent go to waste.

I really wish I could have liked that story, unfortunately it captured the feel of the 7th Doctor's era just a bit too much - I could easily imagine this having been produced on television during the JNT era and I don't mean that as a compliment.

That said, I loving loved when the Doctor's arrogant, condescending attitude/plan completely and spectacularly blows up in his face which causes him to spend the rest of the story getting back on even keel and slowly, inch by inch regaining the upper hand. That was VERY good.

Shockingly I disagree, it�s really good!

It is pretty much Seven Gets :owned:

though and it�s just the right mix of sarcastic levity and absolute horror for me. Companion dynamic is great too. Ace is such a lovable clod :allears:

Just finished up Holy Terror, which was also my first exposure to Frobisher. Even knowing (sort of) what I was getting into, I definitely wasn�t ready for either his voice or the voice of the Big Bad.

Frobisher sounds exactly how I expected him to tbh.

Twelve very much followed the same personality arc as six (plus big finish) and I will always regret that he never travelled with a talking penguin. :smith:

Boston has a ton of pub crawls. Themed pub crawls, holiday pub crawls, literary pub crawls. I like the ones where you stop in Cheers for one drink and watch a bunch of traveling business bros ask everyone to "do the accent." My friends used to try to do the ones that tagged Penguin Pizza because one of them had a beer passport from there that he was trying to fill up.

One time I went on one that ended with watching the X-Men movie with Kevin Bacon in it. It did not have Kelsey Grammer as the blue furry person. I think it is the fourth one. I had never seen any of the X-Men movies before, and I am not much of a superhero person, but I did enjoy pub crawls, and one of my closest friends had just been through a breakup, so I thought I could both have fun and be moral support.

About halfway through the movie, Hugh Jackman was in the movie and told the cast to gently caress off, and I didn't understand why, but I was excited that Hugh Jackman showed up out of nowhere, but I said to myself "That's it? He can't just disappear, there has to be a Prestige," but as far as I remember, there wasn't a Prestige, and he was just in those ten seconds. The movie had Nazis and most people didn't have superhero costumes but Kevin Bacon wore a big green helmet, and that seemed very funny, but I tried to keep my laughter to myself, because I think even when you're drunk, if you're in a movie theater, it's nice to let other people enjoy the movie if they want to. It was probably a very simple movie to follow, but I had consumed many beers, and one of my friends, who had also consumed many beers, was upset about a breakup, and his ex was there.

At the end of the evening the woman that I was vaguely interested in went home with somebody else, and my friend got weepy drunk after his ex left, and the guy with the Penguin Pizza passport never did fill it up, but I remember walking almost four miles home because the T had stopped running, and thinking that it was pretty good to be young, and to do some night walking in the city, and that there were a lot of great bars with a lot of interesting people.

That's my pitch for pub crawls, thank you for listening.

Thanks for checking in Tom, big fan btw

The more I listen to seven�s audios, the more I�m convinced if I didn�t know who they were you could put him and Simms� master in the same episode and I wouldn�t know who was who ( :haw:

) until the very end.

Best of intentions my arse.

e: tbf at least he knows it. Shadow of the Scourge is pretty good at revealing just what he (and the other doctors) thinks of himself.

The 7th Doctor materializes the TARDIS in an office tearoom because he could really use a cuppa. As he pours in the milk, he suddenly finds himself in the middle of a multi-year 5th-dimensional chess masterclass by a genius strategist who is pulling off an incredible coup involving billions of individual threads all coming together in absolutely perfect choreographed harmony. The Doctor is able to turn it all around on itself and trap the genius strategist in a web of his own making, then drinks his tea to celebrate.

It is still hot.

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...

Her stuff in "...ish" really surprised me. Plus, it's nice to see her and Six legitimately having fun together instead of constantly being at each other's throats.
