cotton socks, my dear. *mwah*
You're the *best* thing to ever happen to Big Finish. :)
The Mind's Eye, BF102.
*guh* - the VISUALS! omg. Really hit a fangirl's squee button, you know?
Only 3 parts, and I haven't gotten round to the Viyrans yet. Well paced, well acted. Parts that would've been cliched weren't, and the whole thing was so utterly believable, i was lost inside it. Without a doubt, the closest thing to Classic Who i've heard in yonks.
Killer plants on an alien planet, etc, been done before. Killer animals that hunt at night, terrorising an outpost, been done before. But never like this; totally unexpected plotline and twists, the third part was quite emotional, and neither Peri nor Erimem were annoying.
Nick Briggs, i say again, you're the best thing to happen to Big Finish. I will rest soundly knowing that Fivey's destiny is safe in your hands. Even if he gets a bit abused on the way ;)
(one day i'll get into the other Doctors, probably starting with Eight, and definitely pump my dear F-list for recs. For now, I'm a Five girl, always have been and always will be)

Ah but do you know what pushed my squee button? :)
(no subject)
Do I want to know? Will it spoil the story? :o) I probably do want to know, actually. I get spoiled enough that I'm quite used to it :o) Edit: Actually, given that "squee" followed "visuals" in your post, should I be able to guess? :oP

Mind's Eye really pushed a squee button or two, and Son was just a bloody brilliant story.
Big Finish is truly what keeps fans like me, who gets a bit bored of SHIP in my WHO: Astrid, Saint bloody Rose, Martha, and now i hear Donna as well, *gag*...
I like my Who to be Classic, and I like getting fresh bits of it every month, even if my brain has to fill in the bits I can't see... :)
edited to clarify which audios I have...
(no subject)
As for other doctor audios, Big Finish has done WONDERS for the Sixth Doctor. Some really fantastic stuff. Go Briggs and Co., indeed!
