I always thought that, since there are Timelords who call themselves the Doctor and the Master, there should also exist ones named the Bachelor and the Associate.
Maybe its just me, but I found the story pretty confusing. I kept forgeting or mixing up the names of the 3 islands, and losing track of all the leaders and who was working for who.
Audio dramas try to utilize sound as well as dialogue as a means to not only tell the story but also try to find a natural means of conveying what is going on without visuals. If done well, it can allow the imagination to fill in the blanks. If done poorly, it leads to some moments of rather overly descriptive dialogue that comes across as clunky and unnatural. This seems to go in the other direction and instead comes across more like audio recorded off the television, where there are moments with no dialogue at all, just sounds and you are straining to figure out just what the hell is going on. It is one of those audios that needs to be listened to multiple times though. But it is worth it.
"don't normally skew bellow the age of 20" I've been binging at4w for the last couple of days and this is right up my alley. Also audio dramas are fucking great.
I love radio dramas. I listen to them almost every night when I go to bed. My radio picks up this station from Canada every night that plays them. It's really a treat to listen to them like how it was meant to be like in back in the day. My favorite shows are "Box 13" and X Minus One".
While I love Star Trek and I love hearing Linkara talk about it. I kinda wish he review more Doctor Who comics, that’s just me being selfish though since Doctor who was my introduction to sci-fi television. But keep doing you man your awesome!
Personally, I've never believed in the idea of things, "not counting, being "non-canon," or being shunted off into alternate continuities when it comes to Doctor Who, because doing that does not feel like the spirit of the show. How can it be? For one, it's always good to hint that the world of Doctor Who is bigger and stranger than people realize. I believe in alternate timelines, a concept presented in stories such as Day of the Daleks, but not alternate continuities, which I feel is a separate matter. Yes, Doctor Who's narrative is wild, messy, mind-bogglingly weird, colorful, slightly inconsistent, but universe-encompassingly inclusive. I believe that a novel is just as worthy of being part of the Doctor Who series and having the words "Doctor Who" on it as a television episode is, while also being equally valid with each other within the overall narrative. Anyone who's against that seems to be missing the point and the enjoyment of it all. But oh well, thanks for the video by the way. :)
I'm 15 and I waited for Pokémon my entire life, too! ... I didn't have to wait as long as you all but still. And, hooray I am one of "five people" watching your show under 20. I am not sure whether or not I should be proud of this but regardless I love your show!
It was fun to listen to, just quite hard to follow. Perhaps having a portrait or something like that of the people whenever you're talking about them? I don't know if you've seen sixgamers stuff when talking about lore behind hearthstone and other things, but those little visual pictures of the people (or some kind of picture) helps people link the name and what's going on quite well I find.
Linkara, if you want to look for another audio thing to review, I recommend checking out Alt-Frequencies. It's available on steam and mobile. It's about a time loop law that people are debating about, but what they don't know is that the time loop is already in effect. But Wilson, the leader of the resistance, recruits you to help get people get rid of the time loop by snipping radio recordings, and sending them to different stations.
Well, there are channels that have audio drama series like, Scyther Inc, Audio Anomaly, Axel Gear, and the others. Whether they are being canon or not.
Of all the Doctor Who stuff I've watched you review, somehow this is my favorite one. Probably because I can actually keep up with what's going on in it.
I wonder if Linkara would do a lets play review on Nekopara if someone were patreon sponsor him enough XD After seeing team four star crack from it, I wonder what kind of reactions we would get out Linkara?
I know what you mean about the sound editing being off but I think that was down to a simple lack of differentiation between the levels. Background noises constantly drowned out the dialogue.
Hey, I know the next retrospective isn't likely to happen until next March, but does anyone know if Linkara would consider doing it on Harley Quinn? She's a character that's changed a lot over the years and to my knowledge I think Linkara likes her (or at least thinks she was the best part of Countdown), so she could be good retrospective material.
Hey so, since I've still too broke to buy the DVD, can you find the remix for the movie that was delayed? I've found nothing that blatantly states that it's for the movie.
... Thanks Linkara for giving more attention to the idea that choosing a Time lord name is like choosing a Personal Login in a massive MMO. Surprising there are no Time lords named TheNewDoctorX52 or sth like that
fun fact: there was a time lord known as the Master before the Master we all know. he fought the second Doctor in the episode list known as the War Games. go check it out.
And six is Mostly medival fantasy with very little of steam punk (little girl painter has greater destruction power than aircraft carrier). With mech suits and technology being complete joke by authors... yeah I'm not a fan of this game like others.
The giant sword thing started with the manga Berserk. Cloud and Sepiroth are pretty blatantly based on Guts and Griffith, as far as their basic character concepts go.
Big Finish also does the Pathfinder Legends audio dramas... I do love me some pathfinder. Despite the fact that they have only done two series so far. And the second series actually improved on what the first one lacked. I'm hoping for Skulls and Shackles or Wrath of the righteous for series 3.
Hey Linkara! I have a question! I have been hoping to become a backer myself, since there is a chance to request you to review some things. However, i have to ask, How often does the ability to request such become available, since the two backer slots are currently taken.
It's first-come, first-serve, though I likely am going to kick out some of the backers since they've been holding onto them for a few months now (not that I object to more money from them, just that I know a lot of people want those slots).
I just wanted to thank you for being one of the main sources for me getting into comicbooks. Sure,ComicDrake,Comicstorian etc showed me the good of the comics,but for every good,there must be a bad. While the first reviews of you that i saw were the collabs with NC and Spoony,then the History Of Power Rangers,which is brilliant. Honestly,what REALLY got me into your stuff was Miller time. Up till then,i was only familiar with the GOOD he had done,but your DK2 and ASBAR reviews showed me just how BAD these comics were. Off topic,but what do you think of the yet to come out,All Star Batman comics,which are going to try to clean up Miller's shit job with ASBAR?
"Bet he kicked him right in the Liberators" quite honestly made me accidentally smack my head against the desk from laughing too hard. That must've hurt him just as much as the Andromedans' attack on Star One had hurt the Federation, huh? Huh? C'mon, I'm trying here. Oh, and watching this in the future and knowing that the Doctor's actual name is Doctor bloody Who makes the whole "Minister of Chance" thing sound even more ridiculous. Did the Minister also drop the "Chance" bit because he realised that, as a kid, he was more of an edgelord than a Time Lord?
If I ever get on Patreon, I would offer Linkara the first of the Left Behind Dramatic Audio CD's. Yes, the movies have been bad, including the Nicolas Cage reboot, but the radio drama has been consider a faithful recreation of the Christian Rapture storyline and a fan favorite.
Frankly, I've never been a fan of the "Patreon sponsored review" since it's always something oddball that doesn't fit your format but hey - you somehow make it work. Not this one, though. Reviewing a radio drama like this just doesn't work. You may as well skip showing "clips" from it and just talk about it like a "retrospective" review. The clips are hard to hear, the people are hard to tell apart and I'm lost in a sea of names I can't keep track of.
It'd have probably been better if he didn't do it as a "synopsis and riff" review and instead just talked about its pros and cons on the whole, with some jokes peppered in between and a very brief summary of the plot at the beginning to give background.
TackyRackyComixNEO Yeah, that's what I was referring to. Linkara has done some amazing "retrospective" style reviews which manage to cover a lot of material without needing to point to every single plot element or line of dialogue. With a radio drama, that seems like the better approach. Show extended clips when necessary or really really funny, but predominantly stick to narration over either futon shots or background footage.
So Kiri was just abandoned in a tavern? Have a twist about her giving birth to herself and she's Rule 63 Lister. And we already had that on the show itself.
I recently got to meet the very Doctor you're dressed as. He signed a photo for my ex and, despite specifically asking how to spell her name, still managed to get it wrong.
I'm 61, likely outside your demographic on the other end, and wouldn't be caught dead playing Pokemon Go. Hell, I still have a flip phone and never use the camera. I know how, I just don't.
I had a flip-phone from May 2010 to June 2016, and I can tell you the difference in battery life is the most ANNOYING thing since I barely use my phone for anything but the occassional call to mom and an alarm clock... a feature the flip phone had. It went from charging once every 3 months to every. Single. Day.
Speaking from the year 2019, you'd be surprised how many folks over 50 play Pokemon Go. It gives them something to do outside the house and the over-65 crowd finds it easy to get to things like raids that occur in the daytime.
Next time try Graphic Audio. They do very good work on audio dramas created from books including superhero books. Their tagline is "A Movie in your Mind!"
OMG, those are awesome! I have the Graphic Audio dramas of Final Crisis and Infinite Crisis, and they're bth awesome (Even if they are hours and hours long!)
I always thought that, since there are Timelords who call themselves the Doctor and the Master, there should also exist ones named the Bachelor and the Associate.
They are out there
Maybe its just me, but I found the story pretty confusing. I kept forgeting or mixing up the names of the 3 islands, and losing track of all the leaders and who was working for who.
This just kinda reminded me of why fantasy stories like this tend to bore me.
Audio dramas try to utilize sound as well as dialogue as a means to not only tell the story but also try to find a natural means of conveying what is going on without visuals. If done well, it can allow the imagination to fill in the blanks. If done poorly, it leads to some moments of rather overly descriptive dialogue that comes across as clunky and unnatural.

It is one of those audios that needs to be listened to multiple times though. But it is worth it.
Wait, she challenged a Dalek, one of the most deadly creatures in fiction, with a freaking bat? Now I know why they call her Ace!
"don't normally skew bellow the age of 20" I've been binging at4w for the last couple of days and this is right up my alley. Also audio dramas are fucking great.
Also probably should mention that I'm 16.
"Shut off from the world? Just blow something up!" That would explain a LOT about Michael Bay.
True dat. XD
That actually sounds good, if done in a controlled environment
+Craig Kuhlman Minecraft? Xd
RIP Paul Darrow - He was great as the villain in this.
"I don't know why Paul Mcgann causes such reactions among the diplomats"- They must not like the idea of the doctor being half human
On his mother's side :)
On his mother's side :)
I love radio dramas. I listen to them almost every night when I go to bed. My radio picks up this station from Canada every night that plays them. It's really a treat to listen to them like how it was meant to be like in back in the day. My favorite shows are "Box 13" and X Minus One".
Moonbeam In love listening to all the old Shadow radio shows
Who knows what darkness lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!
* sees Linkara in Seventh Doctor costume, immediately goes for Eighth Doctor Sonic *
szechuan and durian sounds lik someone likes asian food and was hungry when they wrote this
I'm actually 14 and love all of your content linkara! Been watching for at least 2 years now and don't regret it at all!
I would have never expected someone to ever sponsor a review of this beyond obscure thing, but now I'm delighted.
So much swearing. I don't mind the swearing itself, but...in Doctor Who?
Bootleg Who
Doctor Who Da F R U Looking At?
I like how The Doctor ussualy is portrayed as not being dismissive of Magic. considering he's fought Demons and all.
or at least I assume he would be.
Or at the very least acknowledges that there is explanation for how the Magic is performed.
I mean, he is actually Merlin and father time and occasionally Father christmas
While I love Star Trek and I love hearing Linkara talk about it. I kinda wish he review more Doctor Who comics, that’s just me being selfish though since Doctor who was my introduction to sci-fi television. But keep doing you man your awesome!
I’m thinking about Patreon requesting to do Prisoners of Time
Durian? As in the fruit that smells so bad it's banned in several cities around the world?
I can't stop staring at your cases for 'An Earthly Child' and the Hornets' Nest story 'The Dead Shoes' in the background.
Personally, I've never believed in the idea of things, "not counting, being "non-canon," or being shunted off into alternate continuities when it comes to Doctor Who, because doing that does not feel like the spirit of the show. How can it be? For one, it's always good to hint that the world of Doctor Who is bigger and stranger than people realize. I believe in alternate timelines, a concept presented in stories such as Day of the Daleks, but not alternate continuities, which I feel is a separate matter. Yes, Doctor Who's narrative is wild, messy, mind-bogglingly weird, colorful, slightly inconsistent, but universe-encompassingly inclusive. I believe that a novel is just as worthy of being part of the Doctor Who series and having the words "Doctor Who" on it as a television episode is, while also being equally valid with each other within the overall narrative. Anyone who's against
that seems to be missing the point and the enjoyment of it all. But oh well, thanks for the video by the way. :)
+BTIsaac That would be awesome
13:08 Heh heh, Tyranitar.
it had been far too long since we've seen your classic doctor outfit linkara, glad to see it again.
so as a 16 year-old, I'm 1/5 of your demographic under 20
me 2! i'm 17^^
18, started watching when I was 14 or 15.
I'm 17. Started watching when I was like 12.
George Chiarovano and I’m another 1/5
Ypu youngins
11:40 Now I'm just wondering if there's some poor guy going around called "The Proctologist".
I'm thinking of something worse: The Minister of Prime, who looks like David Cameron.
I'm 15 and I waited for Pokémon my entire life, too!
... I didn't have to wait as long as you all but still.
And, hooray I am one of "five people" watching your show under 20. I am not sure whether or not I should be proud of this but regardless I love your show!
"This is a weird adaptation of the Three Musketeers."
And that is a great quip. I didn't realize how similar that was to the story.
This is really great. I'm glad I discovered this .
Another great video Mr Linkara but I'm desperately waiting for the continuation of Usa1!You had me as a fan with your ROM review
11:30 I don't think it necessarily has to be a profession, there was a time lady called The Rani afterall
That just mean Frog Doctor ;)
It was fun to listen to, just quite hard to follow.
Perhaps having a portrait or something like that of the people whenever you're talking about them? I don't know if you've seen sixgamers stuff when talking about lore behind hearthstone and other things, but those little visual pictures of the people (or some kind of picture) helps people link the name and what's going on quite well I find.
i LOVE your doctor who cosplays :D
26.10.22
Love that the kaiju was played by Tyranitar in Linkara's version. XD
19:46 - 19:50 that needs to be a meme yesterday
I'm 17, and i have had lots of experience using vhs tapes, radios,crt tvs,audiotapes,etcetera,etcetara.
Linkara, if you want to look for another audio thing to review, I recommend checking out Alt-Frequencies. It's available on steam and mobile. It's about a time loop law that people are debating about, but what they don't know is that the time loop is already in effect. But Wilson, the leader of the resistance, recruits you to help get people get rid of the time loop by snipping radio recordings, and sending them to different stations.
0:50 Im 17 and you are one of the best reviewers I know.
Mat Red I'm 10
If I could I would love to get your review of Heroman or Karakuri Doji Ultimo, Stan Lee's Anime and Manga collaborations.
Linkara would probably review a bicycle if you paid him.
Linkara, I'm 18 years old and I've watched your show for years.
Well, there are channels that have audio drama series like, Scyther Inc, Audio Anomaly, Axel Gear, and the others. Whether they are being canon or not.
18:03 where is that scene from?
Mystery Science Theater 3000
13:09 Well Green Ranger did it all the time but then again, he was usually a bad guy in most of his appearances.
Of all the Doctor Who stuff I've watched you review, somehow this is my favorite one. Probably because I can actually keep up with what's going on in it.
I wonder if Linkara would do a lets play review on Nekopara if someone were patreon sponsor him enough XD After seeing team four star crack from it, I wonder what kind of reactions we would get out Linkara?
I know what you mean about the sound editing being off but I think that was down to a simple lack of differentiation between the levels. Background noises constantly drowned out the dialogue.
The best kind of audio dramas I've heard come from Arch Oboler's Light's Out Everybody series.
Something that, I imagine very few here know about
Hey, I know the next retrospective isn't likely to happen until next March, but does anyone know if Linkara would consider doing it on Harley Quinn? She's a character that's changed a lot over the years and to my knowledge I think Linkara likes her (or at least thinks she was the best part of Countdown), so she could be good retrospective material.
Awesome 7th Doctor outfit
Hey so, since I've still too broke to buy the DVD, can you find the remix for the movie that was delayed? I've found nothing that blatantly states that it's for the movie.
th-cam.com/video/BSkTNXkzpj8/w-d-xo.html
+Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall this is one of the weirdest episodes of atop the fourth wall but still good in my opinion
I still AM waiting for Pokemon Go since it hasn't arrived here in Brazil!
Any chance of seeing it on Google Play or Itunes?
Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall Oh, it was that version? Cool.
Oh shiiiit! The King is played by Captain Darling from Blackadder Goes Forth!
What’s the difference between the Witch Prime and Prime Minister of Dura?
Is the king played by Mycroft from Sherlock?
Linkara I beg of you please do a review of any "the question" comic
Hey do you know how the get classic series episodes?
Julian Wadham was in 'The Madness of King George'. I highly recommend it.
I'm 18 and I listen and watch when I draw as well as when I relax.
... Thanks Linkara for giving more attention to the idea that choosing a Time lord name is like choosing a Personal Login in a massive MMO. Surprising there are no Time lords named TheNewDoctorX52 or sth like that
have you seen the recent star trek comic of the kelvin timeline, where Q goes there and screws with Kirk and co?
Interesting review. Also, Alright more US 1, always love it when you go back to that comic
fun fact: there was a time lord known as the Master before the Master we all know. he fought the second Doctor in the episode list known as the War Games. go check it out.
Alexander Taggart
There... wasn’t anybody called The Master in that one, was there?
@@rassilontdavros3004 There was the War Chief who you might be thinking of.
Last I checked...The giant sword thing started at FF7. Every main character from 1 to 6 doesn't wield a honking big sword...
and 1 to 5 didn't really have a futuristic setting if I recall
but 6 had Train wrestling i guess that's close enough
And six is Mostly medival fantasy with very little of steam punk (little girl painter has greater destruction power than aircraft carrier). With mech suits and technology being complete joke by authors... yeah I'm not a fan of this game like others.
Some could say FF7 is very steampunk in that same regard. Just really advanced...especially once they introduce Cell-phones.
The giant sword thing started with the manga Berserk. Cloud and Sepiroth are pretty blatantly based on Guts and Griffith, as far as their basic character concepts go.
Wait, the "Frost Bridge Between Worlds?" Like, Bifrost?
Linkara, that horseman statue image looks kinda familiar.
Big Finish also does the Pathfinder Legends audio dramas... I do love me some pathfinder.
Despite the fact that they have only done two series so far. And the second series actually improved on what the first one lacked.
I'm hoping for Skulls and Shackles or Wrath of the righteous for series 3.
Where can I get that Dr. Insano poster?
Out of curiosity what big finish have you listened to?
7:31 magic exists in Doctor Who?
um hasn't he faced mystical things too?
Hey Linkara! I have a question!
I have been hoping to become a backer myself, since there is a chance to request you to review some things.
However, i have to ask, How often does the ability to request such become available, since the two backer slots are currently taken.

Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall oh, ok.
The Proctologist - he fills up holes in Time
Given the planet is called Jura I'm absolutely making my head Canon that this is also a crossover with the tenchi muyo universe
I just wanted to thank you for being one of the main sources for me getting into comicbooks. Sure,ComicDrake,Comicstorian etc showed me the good of the comics,but for every good,there must be a bad. While the first reviews of you that i saw were the collabs with NC and Spoony,then the History Of Power Rangers,which is brilliant. Honestly,what REALLY got me into your stuff was Miller time. Up till then,i was only familiar with the GOOD he had done,but your DK2 and ASBAR reviews showed me just how BAD these comics were. Off topic,but what do you think of the yet to come out,All Star Batman comics,which are going to try to clean up Miller's shit job with ASBAR?
Ambassador Durian... Wonder what he smells like to get that name. . .
well, considering the ageless thing and the title of 'Time Lord'... you would expect godlike powers. The Doctor especially.
hey Linkara, can you review Samurai Pizza Cats? it is an underrated funny anime.
Ok, how much should I pay to see Linkara reviewing Go-Busters(good part of 20th anniversary of Power Rangers)?
"Bet he kicked him right in the Liberators" quite honestly made me accidentally smack my head against the desk from laughing too hard.
That must've hurt him just as much as the Andromedans' attack on Star One had hurt the Federation, huh? Huh? C'mon, I'm trying here.
Oh, and watching this in the future and knowing that the Doctor's actual name is Doctor bloody Who makes the whole "Minister of Chance" thing sound even more ridiculous. Did the Minister also drop the "Chance" bit because he realised that, as a kid, he was more of an edgelord than a Time Lord?
Your gonna review Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger?! Awesome! 😂😂
how do you outlaw science?.....everything we do is a form of science....cooking food for example
Wartooth91 It’s magic to them, they don’t have to explain it to each other
okay, where is that "I'm the government" clip from? I can't find it anywhere.
Mystery Science Theater 3000, specifically the episode "The Sword and the Dragon."
Why does the Minister go to get the Horseman’s help if he thinks he is evil?
0:39
Hi, how's it going.
You can never go wrong with Lord Stephen Fry :)
If I ever get on Patreon, I would offer Linkara the first of the Left Behind Dramatic Audio CD's. Yes, the movies have been bad, including the Nicolas Cage reboot, but the radio drama has been consider a faithful recreation of the Christian Rapture storyline and a fan favorite.
But gigantic swords weren't a prominent part of Final Fantasy until VII...
I'm 16 and love this show and power rangers is my all time favorite tv show can't wait intill the next hoprs
Would have been nice if he was given an ACTUAL Dcotor Who audio drama to review.
Hell Yes. a US 1 comic. I love it when you review those kind of comics .
I'd love to see your take on Zagreus
Oh, lord no! I love that story, but it's got SO MUCH backstory I couldn't possibly do it on its own. XD
Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall I see. I agree. It's a very divisive story apparently
im 15 and i love this show
Frankly, I've never been a fan of the "Patreon sponsored review" since it's always something oddball that doesn't fit your format but hey - you somehow make it work. Not this one, though.

6:22 yeah until they break out the level 10 guns then you're boned....
So Kiri was just abandoned in a tavern? Have a twist about her giving birth to herself and she's Rule 63 Lister. And we already had that on the show itself.
Oh hey, King Kevin Darling!
I recently got to meet the very Doctor you're dressed as. He signed a photo for my ex and, despite specifically asking how to spell her name, still managed to get it wrong.
I'm 61, likely outside your demographic on the other end, and wouldn't be caught dead playing Pokemon Go. Hell, I still have a flip phone and never use the camera. I know how, I just don't.
S'all good. ^_^ I actually really like fliphones.
Agreed, they are easier to use in my opinion.
I had a flip-phone from May 2010 to June 2016, and I can tell you the difference in battery life is the most ANNOYING thing since I barely use my phone for anything but the occassional call to mom and an alarm clock... a feature the flip phone had. It went from charging once every 3 months to every. Single. Day.
They are aesthetically pleasing and can fit in the palm of my hand. My sole complaint is that they are electronics
Speaking from the year 2019, you'd be surprised how many folks over 50 play Pokemon Go. It gives them something to do outside the house and the over-65 crowd finds it easy to get to things like raids that occur in the daytime.
Sylvester McCoy threatening to shit in peoples’ skulls.
Huh.
What.
Next time try Graphic Audio. They do very good work on audio dramas created from books including superhero books. Their tagline is "A Movie in your Mind!"
OMG, those are awesome! I have the Graphic Audio dramas of Final Crisis and Infinite Crisis, and they're bth awesome (Even if they are hours and hours long!)
So, what part of this is related to Doctor Who? Is it a spin-off based on a side character from the other audio drama or completely unrelated?
*proceeds to ignore the beginning of the video EXPLAINING this*
I really hope we get a Batman: Odyssey review someday
22:45 Best joke of the episode
I COVET that sweater.
Your main demographic is 20 and above? I've been watching since late 2016 and I was 14. You have more than a few teenagers in your audience.
