The Haunting of Villa Diodati where everything is the same except Paul McGann is in the background going on a rampage and screaming himself hoarse about Frankenstein
"You wear suits and don't think I don't know why? You don't need a suit to make coffee!"
Jack, in 'Broken' implying that he knows Ianto only wears the suits because Jack is into them. And Ianto agrees.
Except... 'Blind Summit'' suggests that Ianto was indoctrinated and retconned repeatedly, and didn't understand where his fondness of suits came from. Tortured to the point he didn't understand why he was so good at making coffee. Because Torchwood One were molding him. Into the perfect, loyal, obedient operative.
i dunno if this has been announced here yet but we won!! we finally get nineriver!!
my gushings below
just let me gush over the boxset title - STAR CROSSED - because what does that mean?? STAR CROSSED LOVERS?? 😭
and the first audio title is SWIPE RIGHT, which has something to do with dating apps apparently.
I. AM. SO. EXCITED.
however, not everyone is as ecstatic (me too but for different reasons) because it supposedly takes away what happens in SiTL and River supposedly shouldn't meet War, 9, and 10 pre-Library. however, i respectfully disagree. should I bring up what the TARDIS (and Missy) had said? the Doctor and River are so intricately intertwined like wool wound and wound about each other and a complicated space-time event. of course River would be going around meeting different versions of the Doctor and one moot even likened it to her collecting pokemons! which is a rather cute imagery i'll never be rid of. besides, most or nearly all of the time, their memories get wiped away. also, one of my favorite uses of imagery to use for the Doctor and River is the ouroborus, they are a never ending cycle of firsts and lasts. i could also explain how all these meetings woth pre-Library Doctors don't take away the 'special-ness' of that 'first meeting' but gotta go finish this school stuff.
what else was i going to say? ah yes, if River's appearing in this boxset, would that mean we wouldn't be seeing her comeback on TV? make no mistake. i LOVE all these audios but to SEE her again be part of the ongoing show, oh what a treat (and at this rate, a miracle) it would be.
CRANE: Ah. Yes. Terribly sorry, old man, but that's just a tad awkward. You see, it's time.
DOCTOR: Time for what?
CRANE: Your lobotomy.
Listened to Minuet in Hell for the first time the other day- I've got to admit that stupid as it was (very poorly executed grimdark lmfao), I actually really enjoyed it. Thought I'd draw the guy from it. What was his name again?
Imagine: a Big Finish audio. A classic Doctor. At some point, randomly, this Doctor mentions Harold Saxon, the Prime Minister, completely unironically. He had no idea he is talking about the Master. The moment passes without anyone making a fuss.
Rewatching Torchwood after listening to the Torchwood One audio range is such an insane experience. Like? Why is the cute pseudo- second-in-command who rides helicopters and gets all the girls suddenly a depressed boytoy who cleans up trash?
A fantastic encounter for River Song! Christopher Eccleston's Doctor meets his timey-wimey wife in STAR-CROSSED, a new series of audio adventures from @bigfinish 💕🎧 #DoctorWho
