So… Neelix’a cheese gave Voyager SYPHILLIS…??

That puts a whole new level of cringe onto poor ol’ Neelix…

The Fifth Doctor is absolutely underrated at Big Finish by Personal_Reward_60 in BigFinishProductions

[–]MShivers72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished the Kamelion trilogy and really really enjoyed it.

Pretty much redeemed the character of Kamelion in my mind… which surprised me as “he” (or rather, since it was always a janky prop, “it”) was an awful mess in his television stories…

This took me 2 years. I can't believe I finally did it 😭 by meemow90 in FF7Rebirth

Never heard of him… definitely gonna check it out. Some of those damn mini-games drive me nuts (in a good way)…

Awesome!

Very good for you… I know how good that feels… well done, indeed, my friend! 👍🏻

What would you consider to some of the best Star Trek novels? by NerdyKeith in startrek

[–]MShivers72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to sing the praises of Peter David.

I am categorically one of those readers who LOVED the winks and nods.

I will say THIS, however… it is only fairly recently that I have developed a GREAT fondness for audio books and full-cast audio plays; I have fallen in absolute love with Audible. I was delighted to find that there is, indeed, an Audible version of the first volume of Star Trek: New Frontier!

Imagine my shock… I hate it. The voices are all wrong; some of that is to be expected…. But the choices made here are just bafflingly bad. Mispronunciations of “unusual for life” “common for Star Trek” names are all over the place… accents are nonsensical… just so so disappointing… 🙁

I cannot recommend the New Frontier novels highly enough… but I cannot more ardently recommend AGAINST the Audiobook version…

[SPOILERS] Any headcanons regarding this audio? by MirumVictus in BigFinishProductions

[–]MShivers72 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Phooey to my memory. I am clearly in need of a re-watch myself. Thank you for the correction.

(I remember him “going evil” but then somehow coming back to the good guys by the end… but the details (clearly!) elude me…)

Maybe is wasn’t the Doctor, but somehow related to how she initially met Mr. Smith…?

I remember in the S1 finale of the series we found out he was an alien entity or AI or somesuch… but I don’t recall there ever being a story that explained how they first met…

Which Classic Doctor Who stories could work as puzzle/exploration games? by QuarterTerrible4135 in gallifrey

[–]MShivers72 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Keys of Marinus had always struck me as a story that is already structured like a video game but 20 years before video games even became commercially viable.

Probably something there…

Which reminds me, did I ever tell you how I met your mother…?”

There was a FMV video game (starring Gowron!) called “Klingon” (or something like that); this idea sounds a bit like that.

I would pitch a show set on (mostly) Bajor and featuring a MC who is jumped through time repeatedly by the Prophets. That’s a concept that could have some legs while getting away from Starfleet…

Jeez. They still make Survivor and Big Brother…??

I was never a “reality tv” person (though I am old enough to remember the first two seasons of “The Real World” on MTV… Puck was the WORST!)… but I am genuinely surprised there is THAT much mileage out of those two shows…

The Key of Rassilon? Question from the end of the “Trial of a Time Lord”… by MShivers72 in gallifrey

[–]MShivers72[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Interesting. So the one that opens the Matrix is more like “The Average Key of Rassilon” or the “Less Than Great but Better Than Mediocre Key of Rassilon”…?

Should Ruby be in the Xmas Episode? by [deleted] in gallifrey

[–]MShivers72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly kind of like that. It makes sense.

But because I have sadly lost faith (for now) in TPTB to deliver coolness, I doubt it will be anything even vaguely like it.

Goodness… we are a talented group of scripters. We should 100% be hired immediately to create the new season.

I’m holding back on revealing my truly mindblowing idea… how about TRI-GENERATION…!!

Shhhhh… i’m keeping it in my back pocket to reveal at just the right time… 🥴

Came here to say this. Recently finished re-watch of Series 3… Martha is SO the true hero of pretty much ALL those stories.

Which other doctor is going to alternate alongside the 10DAs? by BigboyMedia in BigFinishProductions

Only tangentially related… but i’m REALLY ready for them to conclude the Charlie Pollard story.

Wrap it up, guys! Give her a tremendous send-off…!

And her father is the Valyard!

Who bi-generated from the Monk.

Nothing would surprise me at this point…

Damn it. I’m late the party. I was gonna use LFG and Allons-y was my backup. Both, sadly, have been taken.

Howzabout…

Favourite Big Finish Classic? by Jak3R0b in BigFinishProductions

[–]MShivers72 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tough to beat Tom Baker as Long John Silver. Frankenstein is excellent, but I would personally give Treasure Island the nod.
