Just finished Spare Parts, I think I must be missing something.
Since it ended with all the Cybermen apparently being called off and society was healing and everything was gonna be okay? But that couldn't have actually happened because we all know those guys become the Cybermen, immutably? And what was all that about them using The Doctor's Time Lord physiology to help them out but then nevermind? I feel like I missed the entire point here. It falls so flat and is confusing as hell.
No.5157
>>5154The Lead Cybermen Chen who was thought to have died during the climax was revealed to be alive and stuck on his final orders to Cyberconvert the population. The whole using the doctor's physiology is more of a personal insult to the doctor. He wanted the people of Mondas to stop the cybermen without his help but without the Doctors DNA the cybermen would not have been improved enough to survive. No.5160

>>5285Now I just finished listening to Starborn. Vicki is awesome. I like how the BF audios give a chance for us Nuwhovians to listen to the classic actors in a format that isn't as clunky as recons.
No.5409
>>5389Yeah, at least Big Finish stories are designed to be audio-only. You're not missing any visuals because there never were any visuals to miss.
No.5430
>>5409My imagination makes up the visuals! I'm unsure which audio to listen to next–maybe Colditz?
No.5446
>>5430I liked Colditz, though opinions vary. Also it had the side-effect of me not being able to see David Tennant without thinking "psychotic Nazi" for a few days.
But yeah. Go for it, anon.

Just listened to Loups-Garoux. God damn that was a good audio. I love it when mythical creatures are done well, rather than glamourised – these were the most believable and most interesting werewolves I've ever heard from. 5 and Turlough fit the story perfectly, too. Turlough's great, and it's great to see him (or rather hear him) reaching a fuller potential than what we saw on screen. Also reminds me of how much it sucks that we haven't yet had a male companion in NuWho who isn't just attached to a female companion.

Anyone else listened to Fires Of Vulcan? I liked it. It's actually my first Mel story. She's rather nice!
No.5819
>>5798Think I might listen to it right now, in fact. Mel's not as bad as some make her out to be
(I like stories like Terror of the Vervoids and Paradise Towers) and her getting the Big Finish treatment sounds promising.

I finished The Marian Conspiracy last night. I don't know why this wasn't the first Sixth Doctor audio I listened to. It's great.

>>5819Go ahead. And yeah, Mel is a qt sweetie, and she works well with 7.

>>7294I haven't heard it yet. I want to see Full Circle first.

>>7264I could collect BF cover art and put it on my wall–some of them are that pretty.
No.7304
>>7299I haven't seen Full Circle either, there are lots of stories in every medium I haven't gotten around to
To be honest getting this 5 trilogy is mostly just a side effect of getting a subscription including both the recent 6/Peri trilogy and that neato upcoming 198/199/200 event thingy
That being said, it's pretty solid so far
No.7311
>>7304Well if it's standalone, maybe I'll listen. I've actually been recently going through 5's TV stuff in order (research for a 5/Amy Pond fic I'm writing), and now I'm about to start Earthshock. Maybe I'll listen to Mistfall after that. Does Mistfall have Adric?
No.7314
>>7311It doesn't seem like it outright requires having seen Full Circle since I'm following it just fine, but no, it's post-Earthshock with Turlough
I'll probably finish it later when I start building pla

Listened to The Chimes of Midnight for the first time and that was fantastic. Had me in tears by the end, dammit.
Now one part through Valhalla (which I'm listening to because favourite Doctor, written by Marc Platt and starring MICHELLE GOMEZ) and I like it so far. It's a weird old story, kinda blackly humourous, but it's not bad.
