Since it’s the EDDC, let me introduce you to the sections we’ve got now:
General discussion: (A great guide!)
This is essentially the Eighth Doctor fan club where we can discuss the Eighth Doctor in general, his two TV stories, the BBC EDAs, the DWM comic run, his Big Finish stories, etc. What do you like about the Eighth Doctor? What draws you to him? What are favorite eras/series/arcs/etc?
Polls:
I’ve been listening to a lot of 8 backlog on Big Finish and I’m interested in everyone else’s opinion. (I’ll have my opinion on it as well)
Multiple Choice

(I wanted to add audio companions to this, but apparently Polls have a limit of 20 options. Dang you, Eighth Doctor for having so many companions!)

Books:
I have been on and off trying to get through the EDAs for a few years now, and I’m back on them again so here we are! I just finished Seeing I (yes, I’ve been reading them slowly because the boring ones just kill me) and I thought it was awesome. I know there’s some mixed opinion about Sam but I really like her, I think she’s fun.
I’m looking forward to The Scarlet Empress in my near future too - I always love my Aunty Iris and I get on well with stuff written by Paul Magrs so that should be fu…
Audios:
I am just about to write my review for the final episode of the set, and I was wondering if anyone else had listened, and what you think?
Personally, I thought it was fine. It was enjoyable enough as a set, and I liked the second and third episodes best. However, it felt to me to be very run of the mill as far as the Liv & Helen adventures go, and I don’t think it was any stronger than the other recent releases. I enjoyed the spooky vibes, but I wish they had pushed the thing further. I would …
I did it! I finished Doom Coalition, in my Eighth Doctor Audio marathon.
What did everyone think of this set? I thought it was a big improvement over Dark Eyes, a much simpler and consistent plot and it is tied in with so nicely which makes my fan heart squee.
They did kind of throw in the kitchen sink with River Song and The Monk and loads of other characters in here in the end, in a way Big Finish loves to do, but I must say I do enjoy a big team up.
Some of my favourite stories were: The …
The stories in these two boxsets are pretty much hit or miss to me.
Albie’s Angles and Here Lies Drax are my favourites. The former has such a great emotional impact and relisten value. It hits me just as hard. The latter is ridiculous and makes me laugh so hard, even on relistens. Next up is Paradox of the Daleks , only because it loses the intensity after the first time. Still fun, though.
I can’t really remember what happened in the other two stories. Even after the relisten. Curious about your thoughts on The Dalby Spook
