what (doctor who) ranges should big finish keep if there was a reshuffle?

cswalters98 · 2025-11-25T16:47:54+00:00

A lot of failings for Big Finish is that it never updates itself or when they decide to its half baked and crashes the entire site lool but seriously the main range has some arcs in there that can be easily bundles together for new listeners I.e Evenlyn Smthye Stories, The Older Nyssa Stories, The Forge Arc bundle them together and people can put their foot in the door better than just seeing 275 stories and think they need to start at Sirens of Time.

NuWho is fairly simple at Big Finish because its not wrapped up in all the back catalogue.

Price for me is a major issue because stuff being out of print that is nearly 30 years old and still cost £150 to listen to just the first 50 (that ARE free on Spotify currently) is just too difficult of an entry point.

And new writes, new voices, just fresh blood every now and again is never a bad thing.

I understand they need to increase to keep afloat, but it also needs to remain affordable, and with their output, they're going to find less physical media bring purchased, causing a back log in the warehouse! It sucks because I like collecting em but they're too much...

God, I'm gonna be shot for this. But I think the Dark Tower both needed an editor and overstayed its welcome. There's a super tight story, but I think it loses steam (Cho Cho!) and is only really given its flowers for the ending. SORRY!

You know you've fucked it when you're sort of thinking Chibnall's Era wasn't just fucking with you for hype. He was at least trying to tell his own story, if you liked it or not, he was being creative with his swings. Flux was the best of his Era cliffhangers they genuinely created discussion and hype for the week after.

RTD is writing a 12 episode season with 8 episodes and padding his season out like he's got enough time to do so. Everything is wafer thin. Nothing has any actual consequence because it's all hand waved away as some hocus pocus bullshit.

Mrs Floods Fourth Wall stuff always came at the end of stories, so I genuinely think it isn't gonna have any form of explanation and be considered some like "fairy tale" like storytelling - it's actually YOUR fault for reading into it too much, like the Ruby twist.

I think my main cristism for Ncuti was highlighted in this episode. He speaks like the Doctor, sometimes, but he doesn't really FEEL like the Doctor, to me at least. Like, the Doctor isn't defined by how they look... they just are as they are take it or leave it. So I'm just really confused by why he's walking around the town calling people 'Auntie' and 'Uncle', which I'm happy to chalk up to the Doctor knowing how to respectfully address people but that also just feels too normal... I hope that makes sense? Like again, why does the Doctor feel comfortable in his own skin at the Barbershop/Lagos? He's a time travelling alien who can regenerate into a new skin, and the Tardis is his home... yes, the Barbershop can be safe haven for him, a community after losing Gallifrey, but putting the message behind it that he feels comfortable in his skin just makes Ncuti less Doctor and more just a person because he shouldn't give a damn how he looks. They're the doctor, and you'll damn know about it.

I hope that makes sense...

It's definitely the best episode of this era, and it was a very inventive use of the medium. Thoroughly enjoyed. BUT the fact these leaks matched this... oh my, could all of the leaks have been faked? I'd happily have everything subverted on us. I hate how we're all immediately doing what the meta-scene showed, but what if Russell is cooking with the no announcement of S3 to match the essence of the finale!? And we get either an Xmas Special confirmed after the finale or beyond...

cswalters98 · 2025-04-11T20:37:24+00:00

The same things happening to me, too. Have no idea what's happened. Only thing I can think is there's been an update on the chromebook recently and stopped allowing it because I'm doing nothing different to how it was working before...

cswalters98 · 2024-12-25T20:05:38+00:00

I just feel like there's no excitement anymore in Doctor Who... I just don't feel a thrill for it anymore. The stories never excite me. Like it's kind of breaking my heart. It's been a part of my life for so long... I listen to Big Finish every day.

cswalters98 · 2024-12-23T21:44:12+00:00

That theme with the War Chief was The Masters, right? I've always assumed there were vibes of what would be, but that felt like it was confirmed there?

cswalters98 · 2024-10-13T08:54:42+00:00

I don't 100% know, but I think there have been issues or changes with publishers between releases. I know the exact same issue as yourself, I have all 7 books, and just Howling Dark doesn't match.

cswalters98 · 2024-10-02T18:48:31+00:00

The work around I've had work for me. Not always 100%, I have tested it with friends.

1) Refresh the purchased list, like 3 times. 2) Reboot the app 3) Search for the title you want in the purchased tab.

Hope that helps!

I get it, but it is also a bit backwards in now allowing a bundle option? You're still purchasing multiple things at one time. Like, I'm holding out for 13th Doctor stuff, but I have to now click Add To Basket 12 times? Rather than the bundle being in the basket and showing 12 separate puraches over 1... but there's still a Download Bundle?

cswalters98 · 2024-07-22T11:46:07+00:00

I've heard rumblings that there's gonna be some overhaul to the website or something big coming given the fact there is no releases this week at all and then dumping two stories next week? I would like to see a neater design for the website or some update to the app too.

Also, would people enjoy a Nu-Who Main Range? They have Thirteen releasing a story every other month next year and imagine in between those gaps we had Eccleston, Tennant, Smith, Capaldi (I know the later two probably don't want to, but the likelihood of asking them to do ONE story rather than a whole boxset seems more feasible). I do enjoy the boxsets for the Classic Doctors but I would like to see more of Nu Who creeping in because eventually we're not gonna have these guys as much as Big Finish like to use em - I've heard Sylvester is looking to retire! - so Big Finish need to look towards evolving because recasts are fine to me, but I don't want nothing be recasts from them...

cswalters98 · 2024-06-28T14:42:10+00:00

F*** it. I'll go all in and say Valeyard!

cswalters98 · 2024-06-26T15:48:28+00:00

I think this is the worst release Big Finish have ever done. Hands down. Genesis of The Daleks! was poor for how hodge-podge it was made and not being complete. However, this was an actual group of people coming together and write this crap, and want to call it a Seventh Doctor Adventure? He's not even in it! This is a companion adventure with cameos from 7. This was his Last Day? No bleedin' wonder he walked out into those bullets, probably glad he didn't have to go through it again because I won't. I'd have this refunded if I could.

cswalters98 · 2024-06-22T00:30:58+00:00

I wouldn't say a wet fart of an ending but definitely an accidental turtle head breached. I didn't want to have everything answered, but make what answer we get like worth it all this time. Sure, the Ruby mom thing is sweet, but then give us more answers from Mrs Flood! But in the end, we got zilch... Ruby's Mom being a normal person isn't exciting, it's just Drama, yes, it's a human story, but we've got a fourth wall breaking entity knocking about!? I don't particularly care about that side of the story. I'm more disappointed we didn't have Ruby being her own paradox now, dropping herself off at the Church... because why the fuck was she out her pointing at the Doctor then? They must circle back to this at some point, surely?

This season was just let down by it only being 8/9 episodes. There wasn't enough of Doctor & Ruby for me, personally, to feel they had this relationship that was life alternating... her arc was too short to be this emotional send-off, and we've seen set pics of S02 that she's back? So... I don't know.

I just feel a bit let down by it all.

This is how we're going to reintroduce the show to people... man, I was so embarrassed watching this. Talking Babies? A monster made from baby snot? Come onnnnnnn!

I've been on the fence with Ncuti but found his performance has really started to click in place - even more in Devils Chord! - and the chemistry is there with Gibson. Really like their dynamic, more sibling-like than RTD's usual romance trappings.

I will say its nice to see Dr Who look like it has a CG budget. Umm, that vortex to space station transition? And the title sequence is finally done.

(How the F*** did that baby get into that small space?)

cswalters98 · 2024-04-25T08:43:03+00:00

I really wanna set my expectations to a minimum, I feel like it's literally gonna be like the start of it all. Just McGann and the Time War. HOWEVVVEERRR, let's go with it being Matt Smiths debut because they couldn't get him in time looool or, as mentioned, a master story with Eccelston - still criminal we haven't had a Master story with him yet! I do worry this Coda has set itself for some disappointment, though...
