The writer of ep 1 is a new writer, only having credits for this and the upcoming Unbound First Doctor Range.
The writer of ep 2 has written a few short trips, an episode in The Return of Jo Jones and most notably, Daleks Victorious from the Eleventh Doctor Chronicles.
The writer of ep 3 is another fairly new writer, having written some short trips, worked on Rani Takes on the World and The Yearn from the 11DC’s.
Honestly a stellar lineup!
It has been known
I tried listening to Dalek Universe because I want to hear all of the Tenth Doctor content but honestly I just found it so boring 
Is it worth giving it another shot? I listened to the first 3 episodes
I thought it was really strong. My favourite run of Tenth Doctor stories probably.
There are stronger episodes in the TV show but for consistency I think I’d have to give it to Dalek Universe.
Oh yeah, Dalek Universe 1 and 2 are great and 3 has some lovely covers
Damning with faint praise?
Everybody: stop making me want to listen to more things! The list is way too long as it is 
DU3 has some of my favourite big finish covers, but it does also have the weird Tennant face on the boxset
First 3 eps were the slowest for me too but S2 and S3 do pick up 
I was not sure where to discuss this so posting this here, but it’s true to all media and not only Big Finish. The text tagged as spoiler will have heavy spoilers for A Death in the Family, so proceed with caution.
Something I think from time to time is that I wish Doctor Who explored just a lil bit more the existencial horror of being a time traveller. They do, of course, specially when fixed points prevent the characters from fixing a mistake (see: Helen’s life in the 8DAs), but I mean to strike it to a more fundamental level: everyone the Doctor travels with and everyone he ever met is dead. Because they exists in non-linear time.
And that makes a mess of their relationships. Of course River is the primary example when anyone think about that, but it applies to everyone. And when a companion joins the Doctor, they’re also kinda of dying to exist in non-linear time (even more so in a meta sense, see: how expanded material is forever adding more stories to their passage in the TARDIS). And under the right (or wrong) circumstances, that should be horrific.
I think about this a lot because of Evelyn. The Doctor was not only aware of her death just about to happen, he weaponised it to stop Nobody No-One. Which is not a horror scene in the context of the story and makes perfect sense in special when the one doing it is Seven - and Evelyn and he do have a pointed talk about his shortcomings in his relationship with Ace and Hex -, but it haunts me a lil’ bit. And not only that, but he also tells someone - Ace, I think - he knows the death day of all his friends. He is prepared for when it happens.
And that’s such a lonely way of living. Everybody is dead, but with the flicker of a switch - and you’re visiting your ghosts.
I have similar feelings towards everything that happens in Prisoners of Fate too, to be honest. Such a fantastic story. One of my favorites, if not the one, from Five.
There is also a scene that stuck with me from The Next Life when Charley is talking with “her mom” and she goes on a monologue about how death has lost its meaning that speaks to that very idea and I find so powerful. Specially when contrasted with both C’rizz death (when she comes back from that high and is confronted with a death she can’t run away from) and her own relationship with the Doctor, when in she starts travelling with Sixie and living her own hell of being reunited with someone you know you already lost.
Spoilers for a lot of Charley this time around.
Oh, that absolutely haunts me. Again, major A Death in the Family spoilers:
DOCTOR: Evelyn. Evelyn, can you hear me?
EVELYN: Oh, it’s you. I thought you might be my Doctor.
DOCTOR: You know me, never knowingly punctual.
EVELYN: You’re not surprised, are you? How did you know?
DOCTOR: Remember that calendar you had in the TARDIS, with all your old friends’ birthdays written on it? Let’s just say I have something like that.
I’m surprised I haven’t added it as a quote yet!
I didn’t remember who he talked about that to, but I’ll be damned if what he said didn’t stick with me.
It’s such a powerful moment. I always feel like I have to sit and think about the implications of that.
Oh, oh, just another example. I think it adds a lot more meaning to the Doctor shallow relationship with Katarina when you think - she is kinda right. The moment she stepped in the TARDIS, she died. The moment she met him, even. In a more than literal way. Under the rules of a story, at the moment she first appear on the screen, he does become her god.
And that’s what I find chilling to everything they did with her character in Daughter of the Gods. Specially in her scenes with the Second Doctor.
I can’t read this because I don’t want to be spoiled for A Death in the Family and it’s a long way before I get to it 
but I’ve bookmarked it, lol
I bookmarked it to remind me in six month. Hope I do get to A Death in the Family by then 
On a similar Boat here, hoping to get around reading all this sooner rather than later
On another Hand: That Space Security Spin Off seems intriguing but I probably will just wait and see what Reviews of it are saying, nice seeing new Spin-Offs entering Big Finish again, now can I get more Gallifrey pretty please Big Finish??!?! 
Okay, I promised it was gonna be the last post, but I MUST quote Nyssa on this:
NYSSA: So now you can say you met the Doctor.
LASARTI: I can see why you talk about him the way you do. Sometimes like someone out of legend, and sometimes like he was your best friend.
NYSSA: He’s from both sorts of Time. He pops up in human time, linear time, the time that gives us death and babies and old relatives and long-term illnesses, and yet there he is in mythological time, circular time.
The time where the seasons die and resurrect, and so do gods and heroes. Where people who are in stories live forever.
From Circular Time - Winter
It’s a shock I never put this quote in the site - or maybe I did. Given how much I think about it.
Nyssa’s monologue from the end of Winter makes me weep every time.
