Catch 1782My Review of the Big Finish Doctor Who episode #68 Catch 1792, Staring Colin Baker as the 6th Doctor and Bonnie Langford as Mel is available at Amazon.com here.

This completed my collection of Colin Baker episodes in the main series. This doesn’t include the free episodes The Ratings War and Cryptobiosis.

I’ve found the Baker episodes to include both the best stories of the series. (The one doctor, The Condemned, The Marian Conspiracy) and some of the worst (The Apocalypse element, Whispers of Terror). It also features the greatest range of companions as well.

Next year after the departure of Charley we will see yet another companion but either way, the Colin Baker episodes certainly aren’t dull.

…think alike:

If I am a “white supremacist blogger,” as Johnson now insists, why didn’t he see fit to warn anyone about this prior to my coming to the defense of Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer and others after Charles had smeared them?

Charles Johnson deliberately misformed his readers about Geller et al. for months before I first spoke out against his cruel and unjust defamation. The one thing he doesn’t want deluded LGF readers to discover is the true history of his vicious campaign of lies against conservatives who supported European opponents of jihad.

Johnson smeared Geller over and over again, and savagely maligned anyone who defended her. It was the sheer sadism of Johnson’s assault on her that caused me to speak out.

Sure sounds familiar.

Apparently the importance to expose that racist, neo confederate and White supremacist Evil that is Robert Stacy McCain was so great that Charles waited until Robert Stacy McCain posted 5,071 entries on his blog on his blog before exposing him.

He was so outraged by Glenn Reynolds linking to him that he waited until his 21st instalance (yes that’s 20 instalances more than me, feel free to suggest to Glenn that I deserve another) to denounce him for it. Apparently he wanted to give Glenn every chance to change his mind.

When I look at this I can’t help but think this this quote from one of my favorite episodes of Doctor Who, the Deadly Assassin:

Hilred: We have him trapped in the Communications Tower.
Spandrell: Well done, Hilred. An antiquated capsule, for which you get adequate early warning, transducts on the very steps of the Capital. You are warned that the occupant is a known criminal, therefore you allow him to escape and conceal himself in a building a mere 53 stories high. A clever stratagem, Hildred. You’re trying to confuse him, I take it?

The actual scene is here starting at 7:15.

Those are all good questions. I wonder if we will ever get good answers?

Initial reviews not withstanding I certainly don’t want to skip the new 4th Doctor Audios:

Well lucky for US Based Dr. Who fans. Mike’s comics has an announcement to make:

As stated on our BBC Doctor Who Audio webpage, there is a new licensed source to the US market for BBC Doctor Who & Blake’s 7 audios, and we have negotiated preferred terms for these audios.

On the page all of the Hornet’s Nest episodes are available at only $9.99 each.
hornet's nest the stuff of nightmares
That is a better deal than any currently on eBay. They also offer a boxed/slipcased set and if THAT isn’t enough they offer free shipping on cd’s orders over $60 sent by media mail!

What more can anyone ask?

The sad thing is they announced this 10 days ago! See what getting tied up with the blogwars does? It keeps you from important things.

the scapegoatMy review of the big finish 8th Doctor Adventure The Scapegoat (Season 3 episode 4) staring Paul McGann and Sheridan Smith is available at Amazon.com here.

I’ve been impressed at how good the Doctor/Lucie episodes have been. The news that it has been renewed for a 4th season is pretty good.

One thing, I picked this up used on eBay from a fellow in Israel Nice guy but FYI if you are the type of guy who can’t bear to wait then I’d pick it up closer to home. Saving a buck was my primary reason to get it there but although he doesn’t charge much expect to wait one week longer than from England and a lot longer than Worcester.
