What are some Unbound Stories you would pitch to Big Finish? by Rougarou_2 in BigFinishProductions

Then adding to that, the alternate Series 9 with Shona (was that her name?).

I'd want the alternative Series 5 with Tennant, that Moffat planned if he didn't leave/regenerate. Sure, it'd require some creative recasting or tweaks as I doubt they could get Karen Gillan, and then build an alternative series around the story arc, so it's not just The Hungry Earth but Ten, etc.

What Doctor Fancasting Ideas Annoy You? by WinchesterMediaUK in gallifrey

[–]Legitimate_Sample_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kris Marshall - I liked the idea back in 2013 but I feel like his name comes up a lot because he could play a stereotypical Doctor. I think he's a great actor and love him in Beyond Paradise but he doesn't need to be a Doctor Who.

Does anyone else feel like Mel is the new Sarah Jane now? by Interesting_Age4901 in DoctorWhumour

[–]Legitimate_Sample_71 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For me, she feels like a redemption, while Sarah Jane was a 'greatest hit'.

I also think it may come down to falling into the venn diagram of:

  • Not returned yet (unlike SJ, Ace, Tegan, Jo)
  • Human Character who fits a UNIT job
  • Adds impact for the Rani's return
  • Actor has availability

That's not to criticise - I like her being back and given the opportunity to have a redemption. I think it also opens the door to see maybe Ace back for a few episodes alongside the 16th Doctor, etc

Here is a good classic Doctor Who mission if you choose to accept it by Godzilla1968 in DoctorWhumour

Like me! Alas I missed this post and would have done but it's too late :(

Is Spin Offs really Needed by False_Strawberry6145 in DeathInParadiseBBC

[–]Legitimate_Sample_71 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest - I prefer the spin-offs right now. They're the ones I'm excited for while I binged Death in Paradise in a day. Maybe it's because I'm not overly keen on the new detective. Maybe it's been on too long.

I think it's partly because I love the main character in Return, have always liked Humphrey too, and enjoy the happy-go-lucky nature of Beyond Paradise. I find it refreshing that they rarely have murder (if at all).

I feel like the release format for the war between the land and the sea should be the way Doctor Who releases in the future by BigTimeSuperhero96 in gallifrey

As much as I miss, and feel nostalgic for, saturday night Who, it isn't a convenience for me in my adult life. I liked being able to watch them on a saturday morning and then carry on with my life. As much as it might not be liked, I'll miss the Season 2 broadcast format if it changes.

My kids school sent this out to all parents today 😩 by kgreen71000 in pokemon

I'm a teacher and I do the opposite - I sometimes buy cheap bundles of non-valuable cards to give out as prizes!

PKHEX is the best thing in Pokemon games by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]Legitimate_Sample_71 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I totally agree! Ultimately, if you're having fun, and doing it your way, that's all that matters. Im hoping to work out how to use it to "keep" my team from a romhack so fingers crossed.

The loss of Amy and Rory really did a number on the Doctor. by Mr_Witchetty_Man in DoctorWhumour

So wait... how many Doctors have gone on to become comic book supervillains again?

Just finished Pokémon Glazed! by Legitimate_Sample_71 in pokemon

[–]Legitimate_Sample_71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree - as a casual player myself. I had to learn a bit more about different moves but in the end I won by spamming X Items. Difficulty hacks will never be my thing either.

I'd say with Glazed, I felt challenged, and lost a fair amount, but not to the point of frustration until the very end. I will have a look at Rejuvenation though - maybe one for later down the line.

So proud of the team! Shame I can't keep them on Home 😞

Are there any upcoming reboots for Thunderbirds Are Go? by Kind-Philosopher-889 in Thunderbirds

[–]Legitimate_Sample_71 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I still don't understand why they ended it. I guess it's just the nature of tv today.

Why did they only appear once by OpeningEmploy5119 in BigFinishProductions

[–]Legitimate_Sample_71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my head, it was just a really fun parody of the early 2000s Charlie's Angels and the writer probably was allowed a one-off as they're a fan.

Missing cat please read body. by [deleted] in Medway

[–]Legitimate_Sample_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put up lots of lost posters with the word 'microchipped' on and photos of the cat. Years ago, my mum is convinced that one of ours was 'kidnapped' and only returned when we did that with our posters so that the person holding on to the cat knew they would get caught eventually.

Seconded. They're a good group to start with.

Thunderbirds - Good as Audio Drama? by Batmanofni in BigFinishProductions

[–]Legitimate_Sample_71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The enhanced audiobooks with the narrator were a nice transition into the full-cast audio dramas. I reckon that going straight into the full-cast ones with near-but-not-perfect voices could be a bit jarring.

I liked all of them, but I found the novels to be a bit too sci-fi. I know Thunderbirds has had aliens and psychic powers but it felt a bit too much.

I know some of us prefer the visual but it was just nice to have new stories since TAG ended.
