I've finished listening to all the audio dramas from 2001, so now's a good time to point you all to my guide again:

https://averylychee.neocities.org/doctor-who/audio-guide/

If you haven't looked at it for a while, you might notice that things have been re-arranged!

The intro is on its own page, you get more choices, the *entire ordering* has been modified and simplified, you can navigate year-by-year, and more!

Heck, I really did not expect it to end like that.

I definitely recommend listening to Dalek Empire, it's amazingly well produced and kept me constantly wondering what was going to happen next!

(I've known about Dalek Empire's existence for quite a while, because a lot of fan sites talked about it, even ones that didn't mention the other audio dramas at all. I can see why it got so popular!)

Another nice shot

Here's a shot of (part of) the jungle set.

It looks really good in motion, but it's hard to get a decent screenshot of it.

I'm watching Planet of Evil, and the first thing I noticed is that the sets are really really good.

The jungle set looks incredible, and scary and alien; and the TARDIS is finally back, so we get to see the new interior, and it's quite nice!

(The TARDIS interior was last seen 2 seasons ago, in February 1974. The new TARDIS interior quietly debuted in this episode, in September 1975).

I really like that Zygons also subtly gives justification for the Doctor not coming back to UNIT, without actually saying "The Doctor won't be coming back to UNIT".

At some point, the Doctor just gets annoyed with the Brigadier for calling him in on such a seemingly unimportant matter, and several parts of the story demonstrate the UNIT people doing their jobs admirably, and more independently to the Doctor.

I haven't been posting recently, sorry!

I enjoyed Terror of the Zygons. It was a good wrap up for the plotlines of Season 12 (despite actually being the first story of Season 13, due to scheduling issues), and also a good final story for the Brigadier.

Apparently, Nicholas Courtney (the actor who portrayed the Brigadier) wanted him to go out in a blaze of glory, but I'm glad he didn't.

I got sick of it, so now I've started playing with FTB Ultimate Reloaded, which is supposed to be a slightly nostalgic but still modern (and "lightweight") modpack.

I'm enjoying being able to be on the surface, and not having to just... constantly grind to get anything.

Over the past few days I've been trying out Stoneblock 2.

It's like skyblock, but you're surrounded by stone. It's a cool concept.

I also like that it's got quests to direct you through it (especially helpful for people who haven't played with mods for a while).

BUT...

it doesn't really work after you get past the very initial stuff. It stops being an interesting alternative, and just starts getting grindy and samey, with a lot of just.. waiting around.

I'm considering re-arranging the tables.

Which of these do you think is better?

(Images: 2 versions of the same table.
In the left version, each row is ordered as: Audio Drama name, then Review, and then the featured characters.
In the right version, each row is ordered as: Audio drama name, then the featured characters, and then the review )
