The stories themselves though? Fine to great. A very solid season of Doctor Who adventures, connected by a fairly underwhelming arc. The two highlights are the two stories that have nothing to do with humanoids. I do wish this arc was a season of those.

So I've now finished the divergence arc from Zagreus to The Next Life. The arc as a whole isn't as special as Zagreus sets it up to be. You're promised this new unique and bizarre universe only to get a fairly run of the mill season of adventures.

Feels like a misstep from me. We barely interact with the interesting part of the premise. Most of the stories in the arc are about humanoids, and they're stories that could have been told in any normal season of who which I think is a shame.

Okay so I really liked The Next Life. It could have done a lot more but I still thought it was pretty great.

This story does a GREAT job with Rassilon. Hearing him talk so openly about how he's deliberately reshaped civilizations for his benefit though eugenics. It's not a big reveal, it's casual and offhand to him. It makes him such a fantastic villain. Your skin crawls when he speaks.

bisexual who only dated the same gender, bisexuals who only dated the opposite gender, bisexuals who dated many genders, bisexuals who never dated anyone. They all deserve a happy pride month, stop being biphobic.

I did not realize that a lot of these concepts would be picked back up for the next life so I take a lot of this back

Between Faith Stealer, The Last, and Caerdroia I'm getting pretty tired of the pattern. Immersive settings (great), vibrant characters (great), stories that lead to wishy washy conclusions that have no concrete basis established for why or how they actually happen (ugh)

[jay exci alt account @jayexci2]

I'd feel happier if the characters were as confused about it as I feel. If the Doctor was struggling to make sense of this bizarre divergent universe rather than taking so much of it in his stride.

What is happeninggggggg

Starting The Next Life.
God I love the finales of this era.
It's giving Zagreus. I love it already.

"there's no grace here" you fuckers

Relisten: God it's so grim and unpleasant. Perfect for a brief Master character study. Love it but listening to it is an appropriately unhappy experience so idk it's not exactly comfort media.

I enjoyed Caedroia. A really fun, whimsical story. Unfortunately though the it's a bit too wishy washy with cause and effect for my tastes. The TARDIS can just split the Doctor into three versions of himself? Since when? Why has this never come up before or since?

[jay exci alt account @jayexci2]

Really enjoyed it. Did not for the life of me understand the ending.

[jay exci alt account @jayexci2]

I really enjoyed the absurdist setting and humour of Faith Stealer, but found the actual story a little bland. Still a really enjoyable listen though.

Honestly I really want Big Finish to get full rights to the 1996 movie, and make a direct sequel series with the movie companions and Roberts Master, all with the movie version of the theme for the intros.

I finished TNA Bernice Summerfield s01. I thought the Lights of Skaro was mixed. It's basically a series of conversations, most of them great, heavy hitting, gorgeous. Sometimes though it really slips into half baked trite. Mostly solid though imo.
