My review of the Big finish Audio Drama Phobos staring Paul McGann as the 8th doctor is now available at Amazon.com here

Whatever you do, don’t pick up this episode as the first one you listen to. If you do, you won’t bother with the rest and that would be a shame as it one of the least interesting episodes they have done.

Dr Who Immortal Beloved: Review

My review of the Big finish Audio Drama Immortal Beloved staring Paul McGann as the 8th doctor is now available at Amazon.com here

It’s a pretty good short story, but the more of these short ones I hear the more I think that McGann is wasted on single CD episodes. I would like to see more two CD episodes with him.

Some pleasant surprises

Nothing like pleasant surprises its like finding a $20 in your pocket.

#1 John Stewart and the daily show tweaking Obama:

Hey, credit Jon Stewart with daring to acknowledge what no one in the press will, even if he’d rather not: that the “arrogant swaggering cowboy” did the things he did, and said what he said, because those are the things you do and say to terrorists, whether the Upper West Side likes it, or not.

Obama – getting those daily threat reports – has figured it out.

And apparently, the left has figured out that “when Obama says it, he doesn’t really mean it, so that gives me hope.”

#2 The ACLU sues Muslims over public funding:

The Minnesota chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union says it’s suing a charter school that caters to Muslim students.

The ACLU names Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy, or TiZA, and the Minnesota Department of Education in a lawsuit in federal court that says the charter school is using taxpayer money to illegally promote religion.

The charter school, which has campuses in Inver Grove Heights and Blaine, has fallen under fire after a substitute teacher claimed the school was offering religious instruction in Islam to its students.

Still waiting for a ACLU suit on the Boston Mosque but I’ll take the steps I can get.

And if the British Pound keeps dropping I will be able to afford to restart the Big Finish Dr. Who subscription. It is already $40 cheaper online with shipping then locally. As of today the Companion Chronicles are barely over $10 each at that’s INCLUDING shipping from England.

Heh Heh Heh my evil Dr Who plan progresses

My cunning plan to spread the gospel of Big Finish doctor who episodes progresses.

I let her listen to the end of The Girl Who Never was and the First few minutes of The Condemned. She was intrigued.

I have loaned Big Finish Cd’s number 16-19 Storm Warning, Sword of Orion, The Stones of Venice and Minuet in Hell all featuring the 8th Doctor and Charley Pollard to one of my friend’s teenage daughters.

With any luck I will have created another Big Finish fan who will go for the CD’s as much as me. And if she likes them she’ll tell her friends and so on and so on and so on.

Thus my cunning plan to assure that sales of Big Finish episodes will continue into old age is assured!
