I'm going to need me a Sixth Doctor icon!

Oct 13, 2010 14:27

I was seriously *SERIOUSLY* amused yesterday (and this morning) by the Big Finish Audio Adventure "Legend of the Cybermen" starring Six, Jamie and a former female companion who shall remain nameless so as not to spoil the surprise. I don't even know where to begin to explain how insanely crazy it is while being so well put together.

( Mild spoliers for all parts of the trilogy )

big finish audio, sixth doctor

Oh, I listened to all three of those in a row, I just LOVED the interaction between Jamie and Six. I wish they would do more of those, although it is massively unlikely given how things turned out.

I had a pretty big gap - mostly because I COULDN'T bear to wait to get the last one before listening to the first one!

I loved the interaction between the two of them in all of them. But the word play was just so totally fantastic in the last one *G*.

ETA
And yes, the way they left it pretty much means there won't be :( Damn them! They're normally so good at leaving openings for more stories.

They were totally evil with that ending, dang it.

There is a companion chronicle that fits in there between the first and second I think, have you listened to it?

I ♥ Jamie, I think I've listened to all the audios he's appeared in (minus a companion one narrated by Zoe, I think it is. It's about the Daleks and they give me a MASSIVE headache)

I haven't heard the companion chronicle yet, no. Though I know it's referenced in one of the behind the scenes bits I was listening to.

In fact I think these were the first things I'd heard with him in at all. Must try harder ;-)

I thought it was one of the most intricately planned trilogies I've heard, with so many things woven together and referring back. Like Donut, I loved the Six and Jamie stuff (Six wanted to take Jamie on a cruise! AWWWW) and also it's a good thing nobody was around to hear my squeals of delight in the Land of Fiction as new characters were revealed.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it too! :)

The Land of Fiction characters were awesome! And the number of one-liners they managed to shoe horn in there took my breath away.

And not just to the previous parts of the trilogy*... I did feel really sorry for Moby Dick.

Though I did mention to primsong that the last one could just about be listened to as a stand alone - especially if you know the backstory of The Mind Robber.
