It's gonna' be a while until I get to Dark Eyes.

I want to watch Eight's audios in chronological, or at least release, order to track his development better.

I mean, Five, Six, Seven - I know how they end. Big Finish just retroactively gives them depth. Eight, on the other hand, who the hell knows?


That's s very good idea, and I plan to do the same once I finish this one. I seem to have missed a very large chunk of development.

You know, I can't wait until Big Finish gets their hands on New Who.

What can they do with Ten and Eleven? Both of them have very large chunks of their life unchronicled.

And they might be able to get Nine back, too.

But, it would be fantastic to hear some Ten and Eleven audio dramas.

Ten has a lot of untapped potential.

If Davies had written a more serious show, Ten's arc would've worked better and he could have been amazing.

Big Finish worked some subject and got a series "starring" Eleven.

I'm not sure if it's actually Matt Smith, though.

I think he would jump at the opportunity if he was given it.

They have some legal deal that keeps it from happening.

Which I find horrifically sad.

It's too bad Ten's potential wasn't fully used.

Just because Tennant is undoubtedly the biggest fan of the show possible.

It's Doctor Who with no budgetary constraints, no BBC demands, and no laws of physics to hold it back.

Nothing but some fans, some actors who still have some stuff to prove, and thirty years of experience.

That doesn't magically mean that audio adventures aren't awesome. Some of my best memories are of listening to Lone Ranger Radio Serials as a kid while camping*. I actually find Audio Adventures to occasionally be superior to video productions. That said I really need to start on the Big Finish Dr Who Audio Dramas.

They're different mediums that can do different things.

I think that Doctor Who works best on TV, but that doesn't mean it can't be reworked for audios. The Sirens of Time struggled with it, but that was the first. By Urgent Calls - the only other one I've heard - they were doing some clever things with the medium.

Which is really fun to watch while driving or working in a warehouse, and which never ever stops awesome things from happening due to budgets and which is never hamstrung by having to explain why various actors look so different to how they did when they first played a character. And, of course, television, lets you release multiple stories featuring different Doctors concurrently.

Television -

"Ohshitohshitohshitwereoverbudgetohshit. Steven! Steven! Fuck it! Cancel the rest of the series! Ten episodes, that's OK, right? Shitshishitshit. Just write a bunch of filler. Fear Her. Make another Fear Her. Fuck you, do it. What do you mean Matt's busy filming the finale? Fine. Fine. Fuck. Make the episode about... I don't know, Steven! I just don't know! I haven't seen my kids in weeks."

Big Finish -

"Hey, guys, let's get all five Doctors together and maybe throw a companion or two in."

"Sounds good, I think Sophie's free."
