“I always thought the Big Finish audios must be generally well regarded. I think that?s mostly informed by how long they?ve been running though as I?ve not really heard that many of them. Am I under the wrong impression?”

Oh no, they are well regarded. “Neverland” is a classic, but “Zagreus” was the one after it and was produced on a Who anniversary (I forget which one, might have been the 50th), plus there was a long gap between the cliff hanger and conclusion. Basically “Zagreus” had so much of a build up that it was never going to match people’s expectations. Although, to be honest, I enjoyed it, the only thing that I find personally wrong with it is the whole thing is about 3 hours.

?We can?t bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One way is to tell them stories that don?t go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville? I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to ride the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. ?Gimme five bees for a quarter?, you?d say. Anyway, the important thing to remember is that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn?t have white onions in those days because of the war. We had to use these big yellow ones??

Kudos to Dan Castellaneta for saying those lines. I’ve attempted to read that paragraph myself, but it’s so boring even when I try to say them out loud I can’t make it to the end.

Noise to Signal closed? Why? I enjoyed that site. Admittedly I hardly went on it after the penultimate episode of the IT Crowd (so far) was reviewed, but I’m sure that’s not the reason.

MILD, YET OBVIOUS, SPOILER ABOUT ONE OF PAUL MCGANN’S AUDIO ADVENTURES!

It probably doesn’t matter but I like to think putting warnings at the beginning of posts make them seem more foreboding, even if it’s just to inform people that you’re eating a jam tart while typing. :)

Paul McGann’s audio adventures aren’t canon, are they? They had Rassillon get killed in it in “Zagreus”, unless I’m remembering it wrong. It’s been a long time since I’ve bothered to listen to that story (because it’s so long, I know a lot of people think it’s rubbish but I was prepared; I lowered my expectations and enjoyed it).

[genericnerdyusername]

How about The Red Dwarf Soundtrack (Unnofficial)? Same words, same meaning, different anacronym.

[genericnerdyusername]

I agree.

[genericnerdyusername]

To be fair I wasn’t thinking about that list when I commented, I was thinking more about my friend whose made a top 100 list of his favourite films purely for the sake of it. But yeah, apart from that one particular situation I am utterly and gobsmacking wrong about everything. Ah well!

[genericnerdyusername]

Lists are more for the person making them rather than the people that read them.

[genericnerdyusername]

Disappointed, but satisfied at the same time.

Anyway I’m off to the pub so I don’t have to explain myself :).

[genericnerdyusername]

I have no name to suggest I just wanted to say congrats!

[genericnerdyusername]

Speaking of jobs, I had an interview recently and didn’t get the job, but since it’s Christmas I’m going to be resolutely optimistic about future oppurtunities. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[genericnerdyusername]

I did not watch this and will not watch anything with Jonathan Ross in it, the detestable little shit.

[genericnerdyusername]

It didn’t?? He’s the best one on the panel!

[genericnerdyusername]

I liked Partners in Crime, that’s all there is to be said on the matter.

NO TAG BACKS!

[genericnerdyusername]

Moffat wrote The Five Doctors??? WOAH!

[genericnerdyusername]

Ah thank God, I was worried for a moment there.

[genericnerdyusername]

I’ve just eaten ALOT of food, so much that I’m unable to think at present. So I’m just going to retract my previous statement and agree with whoever is expressing an opinion at this time.

[genericnerdyusername]

Wait Wait WAIT!
Now hang on a moment!
Wait just one minute!

George and Mildred isn’t cool?

[genericnerdyusername]

Is it really shit? I’ve only heard it once when Paul Heaton was on it. Why’s it shit?

[genericnerdyusername]

Oh yes and my thoughts on previous Doctors reappearing… it’s not going to happen. I just don’t believe it and if DOES happen I’ll willingly drink cranberry juice. THAT’S how certain I am that it’s not happening, and Moffat won’t do it either, which is a bit obvious so I probably don’t need to say it. I think it’s just a bit TOO fanwankish.

[genericnerdyusername]

I don’t want to see a child-Doctor. I know it doesn’t really affect anything at all, but I like as much mystery to be kept about the Doctor as possible. I didn’t even like the revealing of the staring into the vortex as children in the third series. I thought the Master was insane because he found himself at the back of two lines for Starbucks at once, but no, they had to go and ruin that theory for me.

My brother told me that its “obviously” Matt Smith’s Doctor who will knock four times. Anyone with him on that?

[genericnerdyusername]

I’m Brian Blessed!

[genericnerdyusername]

Oh yeah! To be fair I haven’t watched series VIII in a loooooooooooooooooooooong time. It’s literally been years.

[genericnerdyusername]

Between-screen deaths. They’re the only ones you can trust.

[genericnerdyusername]

But it gets pissed with the Cat and kicks him. That bit bugs me alot because Blue Midget shouldn’t have feelings, should it?

[genericnerdyusername]

I’m a Lister!

[genericnerdyusername]

>Roger Bailey (Time Lord)

Ooooooh!

>Penelope Wilton (Harriet Jones)

Who, no doubt, turns out to be the Rani.

Ha! Seriously though, that would be shit :-)

[genericnerdyusername]

Bah! Christmas presents from family and friends?? You can’t top this one from the BBC and I’m going to tell everyone who gets me one.

[genericnerdyusername]

I showed Comet Quest to a friend of mine and he said it was rubbish, but that’s okay because he’s wrong. Has anyone here seen it? The kids’ film about Mark Twain flying in this erm…well, flying machine looking for this comet. I loved it as a kid but maybe that’s why I love it now. I need a subjective opinion*! But yeah I recommend this film if only for the creepy scene with Satan creating his own world, based on that Twain tale about, erm, well the same thing round about. I forgot the name of it though! I’m so helpful, I know.

*Objective opinions will be acceptable if they are positive :)

[genericnerdyusername]

Oooh have we got a video?

[genericnerdyusername]

My pizza just arrived and the delivery boy knocked four times. That is not good.

[genericnerdyusername]

I forgot about this thread. I watched the first episode the other night too. I think I can fill in the blanks for myself now and it’ll make much more sense than actually watching it, probably (not that I didn’t find it emotionally…stirring? I don’t know the phrase for that…).

[genericnerdyusername]

Between you and me I hear Tennant is leaving.

[genericnerdyusername]

Didn’t someone on this site write a very good article about how Rimmer isn’t really an idiot? Whoever made that list didn’t do his homework in full.

[genericnerdyusername]

Spiffing!

[genericnerdyusername]

The DS version of SM64 is ace, my sister tells me.

[genericnerdyusername]

I’m just going to throw Mario Party out there and see what happens.

I forgot what number is the Wii one, but I hated it at first though it’s grown on me now.

[genericnerdyusername]

I enjoyed Dark City once, and to be fair I’ve only seen it once :)

[genericnerdyusername]

Editing this since it posted twice due to my damn slow computer.

[genericnerdyusername]

This thread was about something?

[genericnerdyusername]

LEGO BATMAN

That is all.

[genericnerdyusername]

This one looks like it’s going to be a classic, if I’m being honest.

[genericnerdyusername]

What now.

Ha!

[genericnerdyusername]

You know the deal about Eastenders; if you want to talk about it you have to put on a spacesuit and do it in outer space.

[genericnerdyusername]

Has anyone seen the version with Tom Waits as Marley? …Maybe I dreamt that one.

But yeah, my favourite is the George C Scott one.

[genericnerdyusername]

While Neil Innes is being mentioned, have the bonzos split up again? I haven’t seen any official announcements but they don’t seem to be doing anything.

[genericnerdyusername]

Thanks I’m going to check it out now.

[genericnerdyusername]

I’m actually excited most of all about seeing Tom Waits being Mr Nick. I’ve been a fan of his music for a loooong time.

[genericnerdyusername]

I just got back from the pub. I want you all to know I love each and everyone of you. Except for Karl, he’s a shit.*

*not really I love him too.

[genericnerdyusername]

Im on a mac right now at a friends house, and it’s a piece of shit. Smelly shit*.

*note: it doesn’t smell really. But it is shit.
