Have to admit - for me, it worked really well. Mainly on an emotional level, but the answer to all your questions on a logical level is
… drum roll, short musical interlude, picture me dancing in the Bavarian woods with the animals of the forest …
the poor goblins, just like you, could not fathom what that absurd stunt should be and therefore were so perplexed they could not act logically. (A trope the Doctor uses quite often, I think?)
As I said, Christmas Special Shenanigans
In many ways it mirrors the style and tone of the 10th Doctor’s first story - but centered on the new Doctor rather than an established companion
All the Sycorax also just stood around towards the end and did nothing - it’s not realistic but it works on a storytelling level
Started a few more EDAs (not a goof decision since I am already reading The Bodysnatchers and Seeing I simultaneously) and one of which The Taint. I find the firs two chapters enjoyable. And it’s Fitz’s first appearance! Really exciting. Yet TG ratings worries me…
If you’d rather not be worried by other people’s ratings and make your mind up for yourself, there is a setting (in My Account) to hide ratings for anything you’ve not rated yet!
I can’t even begin to get my head around how someone can simultaneously read The Bodyseeing I Snatchers. That’s not something I would want to taint with a third book, that’s for sure!
It amuses me that Mary Shelley is the modern version of classic Who’s Atlantis in that Doctor Who gives her three ‘first’ encounters with the Doctor: The Creative Spark, Mary’s Story and The Haunting of Villa Diodati.
Well done! I was instrumental in getting them added to the site but when I did it, I realised I don’t actually own all of the copies so never read all the strips.
Started on Nightshade today. I don’t know what I expected, but I have to say that this is my cup of tea, and I’ve barely made a dent on the book so far. It’s very hard to put down, though, which is a good sign!
Currently reading Option Lock, as I finished Kursaal at work. Someone on Discord said it’s good, so I have hopes! The EDAs are very…all over the place in quality, but I’ve read a decent chunk of chapter 1 and am enjoying it so far!
Kursaal absolutely finished me off, it made me put down the EDAs for a while. I’m just about to start Vanderdecken’s Children, and after the last one I’m hoping for something not too boring
