Rated Doctor Who: Short Trips Volume 13: Tales from the Vortex 8/10

<div>I don't know that I loved EVERY story, but the first one, "Dark Watchers of California" by Riley Silverman was definitely great, and I enjoyed the premise of "When I Say Run..." by Ben Tedds a lot. All had their moments for sure.</div>

Finished reading Memory of Water

Rated Doctor Who: The Maltese Penguin 6/10

An amusing noir and my first exposure to Frobisher the penguin, though I was aware of his existence prior.

Finished reading The Poppy War

Rated Doctor Who: The Scapegoat 6/10

Rated Doctor Who: The Ninth Doctor Adventures - Star-Crossed 10/10

<div>One of the best sets of audio adventures featuring the Ninth Doctor.</div>

Rated Doctor Who: Stranded 2 10/10

This whole series has been great. All the characters are so distinct in a very natural way, and so many women too.

Finished reading The Bruising of Qilwa

Rated Doctor Who: Stranded 3 9/10

<div>This is a good installment in this series, but the fourth story within this might be more engaging once the story continues on in the next release. I did appreciate the interesting reverse way of telling it, but I liked the previous three stories better.</div>

Finished reading The Dry Heart

Wants to read Doctor Who: The Astrea Conspiracy

Rated Doctor Who: Stranded 4 10/10

<div>That was a satisfying conclusion to this run of stories. Kinda bummed to let go of some of these characters, but I'm sure we'll some of them again. Big Finish does love a spin-off. And Colin Baker as the Curator this time was a lot of fun.</div><div><br></div>

Rated Doctor Who: Terror Firma 8/10

A pretty good audio with Davros. Some of the details here end up later retconned on the show, I think, but this was recorded in that grey area before the audios became canon.<br><br>oh man, I really am in deep, if this is just the beginning of the things I think about...<br><br>Anyway, this answers some questions from the previous audios and probably is setting up something yet to come.

Rated Doctor Who: The Eight Doctors 8/10

I really enjoyed this! I know other reviewers here were like, "Ugh, this is just a retread of some greatest hits to tie up some plot points," but who cares? We get an explanation for how the Master managed to come back to life in the Eighth Doctor movie, there's some funny interactions between Doctors, we get some Gallifrey-related political stuff (which isn't always the MOST interesting, but it does explain why he wanted out of there), and this nicely sets up the new adventures the Doctor has a with a new companion while the show was off the air.

Finished reading The Shadowed Sun

Rated Doctor Who: The Carrionite Curse 8/10

<div>Enjoyed this installment of Classic Doctors, New Monsters, but then, I have enjoyed all of Simon Guerrier's other Big Finish work so far, so I suppose this is not a surprise!&nbsp;</div>

Rated Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor, Vol. 1: After Life 10/10

Though I liked the IDW Doctor Who comics, the Titan-published ones are way more complex and have better artwork. I'm enjoying seeing where this story goes, and Alice is a great companion.

Finished reading Black Sails to Sunward
