Trial is out on DVD - Discussion? Thoughts?
Just to recap, and to at least pretend that I do something around this place, let's have a few links about The Trial of a Time Lord, shall we?
Also, definitely feel free to take this as an opportunity to talk randomly about anything else you'd like to about the arc.
•It's out on DVD finally, for those of you who are as slow on the uptake as I am. Although it was only released on 29 September, there are already drinking games in the reviews (spoilers).
•The Vervoid has played a game of "Guest Producer" with Trial (spoilers). The result is a pretty nifty article. To quote from his or her conclusion: There was nothing fundamentally wrong with the idea of the Trial (you could argue it was cocking an unwise snook at the powers that be but I’m talking dramatically) but it felt like "let’s put the Doctor on trial" was the end of the conversation rather than the beginning.
•The DVD review at Slice of Sci Fi has some canned but useful info on the extras.
•A column in Doctor Who Magazine #400, I've heard tell, will have some sort of text commentary/review of our favorite camp behemoth-and will be joined by Colin Baker for the purpose.
For those who've already snapped this up and watched it: What do we get in the way of special features? Are they any good? What's the quality like?
Since this is a new release we're talking about, on the off chance that there's anybody here in this comm who hasn't seen Trial or hasn't yet seen all of it, please try to give readers a heads up before disgorging the really massive spoilers.
