I've been reading Turlough and the Earthlink Dilemma and although I admit it has some good ideas it isn't very well written. There are also an awful lot of annoying typos. But i was really excited...the military, hiding out somewhere and shurking his responsibilities? If they did a BF audio, what do you think he's be doing? What doctor would you like to see him paired up with?(not that way)

The Big Finish audio with Fitz comes out next month ( 123. The Company of Friends ) and they've got a trailer up on the site! So! What do you think of Fitz voiced by Matt Di Angelo? Are you excited for his Big Finish debut?

A friend of mine is interviewing Mark Strickson and asked me if there is any questions I'd like to ask him. I can't think of anything that he already been asked frequently. I'd like to come up with some good ones. Any suggestions? I did ask my friend to ask him about Companion Chronicles and any upcoming work for Big Finnish. He will be taking plenty of pics though.

I like the premise: the temptation to keep living one perfect day over and over again rather than face a future full of tragedy. Also, it's another episode with Gold! Gold continues to be the most entertaining...entire segments of explanation. In other news, I think there must be dementors living in my apartment. Can't think of any other reason why my life should feel so much like a giant pit of despair

"The Mystery of the Missing Hour" is clearly the CRACK! episode. It's all about "Shuffle and Sixpence", the great amateur detectives, investigating a murder at the Cairo Hilton in 1926. It strikes me as Big Finish's answer to Assignment 5 (the 1930s country-manor murder-mystery assignment). Unfortunately, my file for the second CD is corrupted...*cries*

Less keen on these episodes... The Lighthouse: Yet another story about how our homophobic society forces gay people to repress their sexuality and, naturally, they cope by becoming a serial killers...attempts to tell him that shading makes it three-dimensional, of course Steel stubbornly insists that it's not. Also, Steel channeling Illya Kurykin: his great solution is 'let's blow up the school'

It has Gold! Gold seems to have an unhealthy obsession with Steel so naturally Sapphire can't stand him. When he first shows up he causes a gun to explode in a man's hand and Sapphire is all: "I'm sure...they have their backs turned. I hope one of the later episodes gives him an opportunity to betray Steel. It would be so very tempting for him because he really wants Steel's undivided attention..

I've decided that the Big Finish Sapphire & Steel stories are to the original series what fanfiction is to canon. But in this case it would be like really, really good fanfiction. The writers obviously...do not pull punches about that... like at the end of "Daisy Chain", when she convinces a teenage girl to commit suicide! I had to stop what I was doing and just listen because I was so stunned. So good

I finished reading Barrayar this evening, and was in tears by the end.  All these re-readings, and I don't think I appreciated until now how much Cordelia sacrificed her own principles for Miles's survival...Edward James Olmos for Aral, I guess David Warner could do it, but seriously, think about EJO.  If you cast Miles Richardson as Vordarian, I'd have to come to the UK and kiss Nick Briggs on the face.

For the last few months, Big Finish has been running a three-part sequel to the Key to Time.  The Fifth Doctor is conscripted as assistant to Amy, a human-shaped Tracer, and they race Amy's "sister"-Tracer...WRITE ME FIVE/ROMANA! Best line went to Zara, the more ruthless twin: "Oh no!  My eyes are making your shoulder wet!"  Even amoral human-shaped constructs can't resist crying on the Beige's shoulder
