Saw "Classic" with the capital "c" and thought we might be getting a Class video. granted there isn't that much to say at this point other than "meh" but I'd like to hear some of your thoughts.
For anybody who hasn't tried it, I would strongly recommend Domain of the Voord as it is a really awesome story that actually gives the Voord a lot more depth than just in Marinus. The performances are great and the world it crafts felt very real. It also manages to keep itself to a 1960s style whilst going a lot further with ideas and scenes that probably wouldn't have been approved by the BBC back then.
I think DOOM COALITION 2 was a fun, and considerably underrated, box set. And, contrary to a lot of Whovian carping, I think that River Song made a fine addition to the story arc.
I really didn't see the problem with DC2, just like you. Beachhead was a breather(most call it a filler but I tend to disagree). Scenes from Her Life was awesome, a John Dorney story with style. The Gift was a great episode by Marc Platt. The Sonomancer, I have to agree with the critics, weakened the characterization of the Eleven, but Caleera was a good enough new villain. Oh, and wait until you listen to DC3. I have literally seen nobody criticize that box set, and I put DC3 as number 4 in my Top 10 Big Finish episodes ever(3. Jubilee, 2. A Death in the Family, 1. The Chimes of Midnight). Just you wait...
Keys of Marinus is massively underrated. It's not great or even good, but it has some things which work very well. Anyway, interested to hear what you think about Doom Coalition 3. I thought it handled the multiple companions much better than the previous set.
Funny how you spoke about The Movelleians returning to Big Finish months and months ago and the trailer for s10 dropped and it also has the Movelleians in it
LISTEN EVERYONE!!!! The Eight Doctor is on sale this weekend on Big Finish!!! Most Stories can be downloaded for 5 Bucks right now, and the prices for bundles are also very low. You can get the complete Eda-Series (34 Storys) for 140 Bucks!
I really don't think BF are just going for Keys of Marinus fans with their Voord stories. ANY returning TV monster guarantees a boost in sales, I've heard Briggs say it, but they probably get tired of using the same ones over & over again.
I hate to be negative towards Big Finish, but I'm personally getting a little bored of their boxset formats of-late. Doom Coalition isn't bad, and the boxsets are admittedly more cost effective (both for us and the company), but I feel some stories are being slightly brought down by the overall story arc of the boxsets. They're still great stories, don't get me wrong, but I can't help that feeling in the back of my mind when listening to them.
Destiny of the Daleks is my favourite story, I see all flaws but I am blinded by nostalgia. On of the many reasons I like it's as Daleks attach bombs to themselves and blow up to beat the movellans.
Doom Coalition 2 was a bit of a dissapointment for me. I'm glad you enjoyed it though. There are two standout moments for me: 1. When Mrs. Gregson snaps and just goes gun crazy. 2. When River and Liv are kicking the crap out of the Eleven.
My mini reviews of Doom Coalition 2 Beachhead-I actually really enjoy it good stand alone,very New who Scenes from her Life- I kinda wish it was Charley and 8 exploring the crazy TARDIS The Gift- I don't like America ones The Sonomancer- was trying so much should have 2 hours or something was trying to do a lot
Thank god, I'm not the only one who thought that the Sonomancer was the weakest, and that River Song didn't improve DC..... I was beginning to think I was the only one
Eh. I felt like Doom Coalition 2 was the breather where minor elements are explained and new ones are introduced. Thus, moderately good stories, but nothing that leaps out.Secondly, let's be honest here, Nicholas Briggs has managed to make everybody a P.R. person for Big Finish; even if it was just for one second......Hmm? Oh, right, give them all your money; nearly forgot to say it today...
I still love the fact that Eight crushes the Voord to death and it just gets rushed over like back in the EDAs, the real EDAs as in the novels, when Eight could shoot people in the back of the head or kick people into rivers to drown and just shrug and walk off like the real Eight was back rather than the watered down bs we usually get
Man, I sure do love the Voord...
Yeah I decided I wanted to do a boxset a video and have this out earlier. Will be doing Classic doctors, new monsters vol 1 later this month
Stubagful great video mate
Stubagful I'm very happy with that cous it means more videos yay
Saw "Classic" with the capital "c" and thought we might be getting a Class video. granted there isn't that much to say at this point other than "meh" but I'd like to hear some of your thoughts.
KEYS OF MARINUS IS FUCKING AWESOME AND YOU KNOW IT!
Stubagful I'm considouring delving into the 8th Doctor audios, any you would recommend?
Well Doom 3 was fucking awesome and Helen finally got her own highlights just like in Red Lady but all over the boxset
my copy just arrived today. it looks pwetty :)
TheJaviferrol That has a terrific cliffhanger.
I don't know Man I think Doom 64 was a better game.

I always though the Vord were like kinky Teletubbies
Teletubbies are kinky enough in their own right.
Keys Of Marinus is one of my favourite 1st Doctor stories.
I do like Helen, but I can't for the life of me distinguish between her and Liv's voices
I'm sure there's a little Nick Briggs demon inside all of us when it comes to Big Finish

addition to the story arc.
Hey, the keys of marinus is fucking awesome! And so are the molevons! #BringBackKoquillion
I like keys of marnius. was just sayin its not exactly popular
TH-cam is cutting off the audio at the opening of your videos :(

By chance, will you being doing the War Doctor boxsets after Doom Coalition finishes out?

I'm not even a massive BF lover and I can't stop watching these fucking videos… dammit Stuart!
'The Keys Of Marinus,' is my third favorite: 'First Doctor,' story!
Funny how you spoke about The Movelleians returning to Big Finish months and months ago and the trailer for s10 dropped and it also has the Movelleians in it
Before you have a jab at Big Finish for bringing back the movellans, you should probably know that the BBC are bringing them back too for season 10
Bit late considering this video was made about a month before we knew that
LISTEN EVERYONE!!!! The Eight Doctor is on sale this weekend on Big Finish!!! Most Stories can be downloaded for 5 Bucks right now, and the prices for bundles are also very low. You can get the complete Eda-Series (34 Storys) for 140 Bucks!
The Gift is my favourite from DC2
Movellians....(horrified thousand yard stare)
looking forward to this!
Finished doom coalition 2 last night, I agree; what was the big fuss? It’s decent!
2:59 did they really have to use the same picture of mcgann's face twice?
Speaking of getting paid to say good things
When are your Class reviews going to be out
I'm dying to hear what you think
Ooohhhh "Scenes from her Life" sounds very very interesting
It seems very Charley and 8
I have a mini David Richardson im my head that keeps telling too buy the stuff he produced which is basically everything :p

That was the Shining's soundtrack at the end, wasn't it? You cheeky fucka!

The hype for that boxset was HUGE. and then it was disappointing as fuck.
C.J Lightfoot I just wait until they are all out and buy them in a bundle or wait until they are cheap
Destiny of the Daleks is my favourite story, I see all flaws but I am blinded by nostalgia. On of the many reasons I like it's as Daleks attach bombs to themselves and blow up to beat the movellans.
Destiny is better than the thoroughly overrated Genesis or Resurrection.
+codyw1 I guess so but I really don't get the complaint the Daleks are not in it enough for Genesis, I really like that they are not featured heavily.
The Ironator yeah, the Daleks aren’t in _Genesis_ much, but when they are, they’re arguably at their best in the entire series.
Fourth Doctor Audios plezzz

eighth doctor audios are getting weaker just like some new big finish stuff
