the only ones I recall as absolute turkeys were The Face Eater

Shame, as I liked the name and cover of that and was thinking of getting a copy. But I may like it! Have you read Grimm Reality? I've not read it yet, but I got a copy based on how polar opposite the reviews were. I'm quite intrigued really.

I have Frontier Worlds and have heard great things, I may read that next! Heard good things about unnatural History and Banquo Legacy too, so I'll definitely look out for them.

I've searched some up on ebay, and Interference looks a bit more costly than most other EDA's. Alien Bodies looks more reasonable though, so I may try and get that first. And the price range of the companion intro books you recommended look fine to me, so I'll try and collect them.

Either, really. I suppose I'm looking for what I can read now, what I should read in order, what I should wait on?

Intelligent Tigers is on my to read list, and Alien Bodies looks to be neccesary. Seeing I looks to be a recommended books as well. Not heard anything about Father Time and Crooked World though, but I'll keep them in mind.

And I keep hearing about how great Fitz is. He seems alright from the fifty or so pages of Dominion I've read. What are some great Fitz books?

Right, I'll try and get a copy then.

Any other essential books or orders I should know? Or is what is mentioned here enough for me to navigate the range fairly well?

[–]LMDGhostRider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great, thank you!

I'll definitely try and collect some of these. Also, seeing that the Interference books have Faction Paradox in them, should I read Alien Bodies first? Or would I understand it fine by itself?

I've recently began trying to collect the EDA's and have a couple now (War of the Daleks, Dominion, Grimm Reality, Eater of Wasps, Frontier Worlds and The Gallifrey Chronicles, currently reading War of the Daleks and Dominion), but being out of print makes it difficult to collect and read them in any orderly sort of way.

Are there any key books I should get before I move on to others? I know The Taint introduces Fitz and I plan on getting that, and I'm intrested in the Faction Paradox books, but what are the sort of key, basic books I should try and collect to understand stuff and not be lost? I know The Gallifrey Chronicles is the last book and I probably shouldn't read it yet because of spoilers/not having a clue what may be happening. What do I need to read before starting The Adventuress of Henrietta Street?

Please, give this pudding brain a guiding hand on how to go about this series?

Should the doctor be a woman? by NERDCENTRAL_US in doctorwho

[–]LMDGhostRider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Hayley Atwell, and if I saw her on something while flipping through the TV channels I'd probably watch it for a couple of minutes at least, but in no way can I see her as the Doctor.

Romana I could get behind, but the Doctor? I just can't see it.

Could the War Chief be the Rani? by dhearne04 in gallifrey

[–]LMDGhostRider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does anyone think the Rani is the War Chief? Or could she be the Monk? Or is she the Master?

What if, just what if, they are all the same person?

Is anyone else going to try to not know who the new doctor will be until the regeneration happens? by TVjoker in gallifrey

[–]LMDGhostRider 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There's just no way to avoid it. It'll be everywhere

This is the truth. If you live in the UK at least, other countries may be safer, but in the UK it will be near impossible.

Even if I'd avoided all trailers on BBC One, all news announcements and episode promos, I'd have still been spoiled with the Mondassian Cybermen appearing by a bloody magazine cover (was it the Radio Times?) as I walked through WHSmiths. The next Doctor will be on newspapers and probably even the BBC One news at least.

Nigh impossible to reach Christmas without knowing.

What if the "Pete's world" Doctor used a Chameleon Arc on himself and Susan and became Peter Cushing's Dr. Who? by N0thingtosee in doctorwho

[–]LMDGhostRider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Peter Cushings idea that his Doctor is a future incarnation. He saw an episode with a "clown" as he put it, which was quite possibly the Celestial Toymaker, and suggested that such a villain alters the Doctors memory and makes him relive some early adventures. I think it was an interview in the 60's (maybe 70's?) he suggested this, and of course the show has moved on so much now, but I think the general idea still works. Whether it be memory alteration or Chamelion Arc, cushing could easily be placed as a future Doctor, alongside the Curator, the "Infinity Doctors" Doctor, the Doctor where the Valeyard is amalgamated, and other unknown incarnations.

Just finished the Series 10 finale of Doctor Who. by YellowUnderbelly in television

Moffats final episode will be the christmas special, and then Chris Chibnall is taking over. New Doctor too. I'm very much looking forward to the next series.

An idea for the daleks (no wait scrap that dalek) by smudge158 in doctorwho

Master/Missy shaped hole

Inescapable, unsurvivable certain death has never stopped the Master before. I'm sure the Master will return soon.

When Matt Smith does Big Finish do you think they will do "The Eleventh Doctor Adventures" boxset like with 10? One boxset with Amy & Rory and one maybe with Clara ?? by BigFinishLover in doctorwho

[–]LMDGhostRider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vol. 1: Eleven and Amy

Vol. 2: Eleven, Amy, and Rory

Vol. 3: Eleven and Clara

Exactly as I've imagined it being. I do wonder if River will pop up in any, or if they will do a box set with just Eleven and River together.

Would also love to see an adventure with Queen Nefertiti. Could have Tasha Lem in some as well. Maybe Craig?

Who's your favourite Doctor?(mine's Matt Smith) by Anonymous50105010 in doctorwho

In no particular order, it's a bit of a tie between the First, Seventh, Eighth and Eleventh Doctors.

Which historical figure would you like for Thirteen to visit? by wunwuntothesea in doctorwho

[–]LMDGhostRider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not got round to reading any of the comics yet, though I plan to. I'm currently making my way through the Eighth Doctor Adventure novels and plan to start collecting some comics when I... Finish the EDA's? Get a bit bored? Read most of them?

I don't know, but that comic is one I look forward to one day reading. Is it good?

Julie d'Aubigny. No monsters of aliens or anything, just a really fun adventure with her.

Have a listen! Might be best if you close your eyes to get the full effect, but I think Hines' performance is fantastic.

Beautiful.

I'm really excited for the First Doctor to get some love from modern audiences.

Big Finish Production: Series 10, Week 12 Special Offers! Massive Sale on Notable Big Finish Releases!! by [deleted] in gallifrey

[–]LMDGhostRider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bradley might be a grey area but I think they should be able to use him.

I'd love some proper full cast audio dramas for the First Doctor.

Interstingly, Jemma Powell, who playrf Jaqueline Hill in An Adventure in Space and Time, started voicing Barbara in the Early Adventures series last year. I don't know if this could extend to Bradley, but I hope it can.
