BF99 - Son of the Dragon

Son of the Dragon - Big Finish 99.

Holy wow. Guh. Dracula himself. Wowzers.

Peter sounds so... sarcastic, weathered, serious, weary (like he was in Caves), forceful, regretful - perfect portrayal of Audio!Five. Who is subtly, and powerfully different than TV!Five.

Erimem and Peri were actually entertaining, rather than fucking annoying as I often find them, though i can *still* hear the errors in Nicola's accent. She was well used in this one, though Caroline Morris's Erimem was sidelined, Peri positively *glittered*. I'm gobsmacked, considering I don't much care for Peri...

Gothic music, chilling storyline, spot on characterisations, just, wow. This was on par with Spare Parts, in the shivers-down-my-spine bloody good audio department.

Well done, Big Finish.

Oh, my god...

That impalement scene, right at the beginning? Wow. I remember thinking "how do you follow that?" And then, the WHOLE THING was like that.

Brilliant. Awesome. Add your own adjective here.

And it's even more impressive when you do a bit of research on the historical facts surrounding those events, and see how seamlessly the writer slotted our heroes into recorded history. [/blown away]

Yeah, that's just how i felt. Someone did their homework, fo shizzle.

Just... wow. I can't wait to re-listen. Yes.
