56) The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002 nominee)

Like the Flintstones movie: Amazing production, horrendous comedy script makes for such an amazing bad-movie experience. Absolute nonsense script that continually one-ups its own stupidity. Great time.

315) The Necropolis Express (Jago & Litefoot 2.2)

I could not get into this story. There's not much bad about it, but there's not much interesting either. Also, the title and cover promise a story in a train, but the train is stupidly irrelevant to the story, which actually bothers me.

314) Time You Never Had (8DA: Causeway 2)

This might be Tim Foley's best work yet. Insanely gripping story. Every single aspect of this story works phenomenally. I cried at a few points from the emotional stakes. Just phenomenal. A Big Finish all-timer.

313) Lost Amongst the Stars (8DA: Causeway 1)

Yet another Doctor Who horror banger. The atmosphere in this story is absolutely INCREDIBLE. All three of our leads are on their absolute best, especially Jaye Griffiths. Rochana Patel continues to be a remarkable writer.

I just finished reading the manga for She Loves to Cook and She Loves to Eat, and I'm not going to go more into it, as I already did in this thread below, but I love it so much, and for very different reasons than I love the live-action adaptation. I'm really gonna miss this series. 😭

312) Litefoot and Saunders (Jago and Litefoot 2.1)

This story was great! I thought the tension between Jago and Litefoot would get old, but it's used very well throughout this story. A lot of this story is predictable, but it plays out so well that I can't complain.

311) The Similarity Engine (Jago and Litefoot 1.4)

I don't have a lot to say about this story, but it is a very good finale to this first storyline. The bit where Jago tells Dr. Tulp to just shake their hands was very brilliantly done. This climaxes this series are consistently great.

307) The Spirit Trap (Jago & Litefoot 1.3)

Wow, this one was INCREDIBLE. The atmosphere is so rich, and the tension is so sharp. I was absolutely thrilled from start to end. Jonathan Morris is on his best this story, and the cast's performances are electric.

306) The Bellova Devil (Jago & Litefoot 1.2)

There are some really cool ideas here, but it rarely succeeded at capturing my attention. The climax twist was pretty interesting, but overall it was just kinda boring, but not bad.

305) Lionesses in Winter (Thirteenth Doctor Adventures 1.3)

The comedy writing for this story is excellent. The jokes CONSTANTLY had me laughing. I'm realizing that this might be a real strength of Lisa McMullin, since she also wrote Till Death Us Do Part. The narrative is good too!

304) The Bloodless Soldier (Jago & Litefoot 1.1)

A fun start to this range! The first part of this story was just kind of okay, but the climax was TENSE. Absolutely had me at the edge of my seat.

303) The Mahogany Murders (Companion Chronicles 3.11)

A great pilot for the Jago & Litefoot range. The two characters have incredible chemistry, as their personalities really work well together. I LOVE the little banter they provide over the narration. Excited for more!

302) The Talents of Greel (Diary of River Song 6.4)

Once again, I just love the Victorian London aesthetic. Jago and River have great chemistry here. There is a cute monkey in this story. The musical number with River was INCREDIBLE.

301) The Talons of Weng-Chiang (TV Season 14 Serial 6)

There's a lot I love about this serial!I love the Victorian London aesthetic, Jago and Litefoot are great characters, and the narrative is thrilling.

However... there's also all of the causal racism. It's a lot.

300) The Final Hour (The Robots 6.3)

My time with Kaldor is over!

This was such a fun series, and this was a great finale to end it on. I have some thoughts about the overall narrative of this range, but the individual stories have all been excellent, this one included.

299) Face to Face (The Robots 6.2)

In theory I should have loved this story. I usually love this type of thing, and John Dorney is great at it, but my god is it repetitive. "Unless you were the copy..." "That can't be the case, because YOU'RE the copy" "Nuh-uh" for an hour straight.

298) Force of Nature (The Robots 6.1)

Among other interesting things about this story, this is a very interesting accidental commentary of AI Delusion as is currently a relevant issue in 2025. It kind of perfectly captures the risk mass AI exposure creates for vulnerable people.

297 The Scorchies (Companion Chronicles 7.09, re-listen)

I listened to this a year ago and hated it. It's a year later, so I listened to it again, and I definitely liked it a lot more. Really fun, though if I'm honest, the narrative was pretty weak. Really strong novelty, though.

296) Kaldor Nights (The Robots 5.3)

I wasn't that into this at first, but after the twist at the 1/3, mark, I was fully on board. This story rocks and goes in so many fun directions. The character asides being plot relevant was brilliant.

295) Black Dog (Short Trips [Audio] 5.12)

I'm gonna be real, this story never succeeded at catching my attention. Maybe it's just a skill issue, but I couldn't really be bothered about any part of this story. Maybe it deserves better, but maybe it could have captured my attention more.

294) Machines Like Us (The Robots 5.2)

Now this story is more linked to actual fascism, which made the story much better than the last one. There's also a lot of great twists in this one, making for a very thrilling listen. Kador Arris is a great character.

293) The Enhancement (The Robots 5.1)

I like where the narrative is going, and this story has some great emotional moments. That being said, it is *quite* cliché, and feels a little too Black Mirror in that it's technological commentary doesn't say much on the real world.
